I have it on good authority that will continue to happen until we hire Rex Hudler to be our new manager, something about a curse.

Nunez was traded his war right now for '17 is .2 lol.

So he's better than Escobar 

[Lou]

Escobar since June 30th:

.203 BA

.253 OBP

.523 OPS

 

He's 34-yrs old, can't play defensive and will be a FA at the end of the year. 

If you're a team in contention, are you really going to give up anything of value for him? 

 

[tdawg87]

If we throw in Chavez then yes.

I'm not a fan on Nocobar, but he's been pretty good defensively the last couple of months.

You had better get a couple mid level prospects for Norris.

He is too old to command more.

Escobar would get you a fringe prospect or two at best.

 Chavez will get you nothing, unless there is another team like the Angels who have three or more starters all   go on the DL in the next two days.

Frickin sell off some parts. This team is toast (this year). Make some trades.

I'd really hate to see this team on August 1 without having made any substantial trades, but for some reason I can't shake the feeling that's how it will be.

Absolutely, but I think they won't.  And I don't think it is Billy, I think it is Arte.

Are the Angels just a cash cow for Arte at this point?

If Moreno does not sign any SOLID FAs in the next 17 months, then at that point he needs to sell the team STAT!   Preferably to a corp that has the funds, and the smarts to let the hired folks do their jobs.

I thought that was Eppler's decision to make and if he chooses to forgo free agency for big ticket players but the team progresses to a long term goal then it is what a smart owner would do. You're a little itchy with the trigger finger.

I get the smart part of it.   But I would find it hard to believe that there will not be any SMART solid FA acquisitions available in the next 17 months. 

Continue to build the farm, but don't be totally shy on signing SMART solid FAs if a hole needs to be filled; just shy away from the Pujols/Hackilton type contracts.

Long term growth is job 1.   Just don't ignore smart FA acquisitions all together.  Perfect example for the old timers would be Terry Pendleton signing with the Braves after the 1990 season.   Smart acquisition who filled the 3B need, and helped propel the Braves to being the NL team in the 1990s.
