There's still August, guys.

[2112]

Madero

He looks like a young Chavez. And is a 5 inning starter in the minors...

He didn't want to get traded send his ass down to minors and see how he enjoys it there.

LOL, I was joking.

Bummer - Eppler was right To try to build a team that'd be easy to sell this deadline for a rebuild but nothing worked out. Our rotation was injured to the point where we couldn't easily sell Nolasco or Chavez without straining our young arms, Maybin got hurt, and Espinosa and Revere failed to become productive enough to interest anyone, but the biggest damage came from the rental market totally bottoming out. I don't think anyone expected MLB vet rentals to cost so little, and that's really where Billy was banking to find some success this July.

If only it was like that in 2012.   The Halos would still likely have Segura.

We could see rental prices rise in August actually - not because those trades will become more valuable this year, but simply because they the July rental cost was so low, even the previous August standards maybe higher. 

We will have a leg up in that we may still have a ton of secondary pieces we can sell off in coming weeks. Obviously, we would need the waiver claim order to work in our process, but we have many players that will still be beneficial for contending teams.

I am holding out hope.   Because they ain't going to the post-season.  Next deadline = 31 days from now.  

Just hope we get more than a struggling low minors pitcher then.

Never know - Rangers and Twins should shake loose ahead of us now. Orioles were only team around us that added. I'm not fully sold this is that good of a team but I'm not ready to give up on the year.

Can you imagine if it was Mathis, Conger, or Borenstein?

Damn, I forgot that Mathis was at Arizona. That didn't occur to me when the rumor first hit.

I cant fuckin believe I just waded through the 6 or 7 pages that have been posted over the last couple hours...to find out that this is what it was all about.

I'm even stupider than I thought I was.

[aznhockeyguy]

Teams are getting smarter in trading for rentals.  Why give up an average player you can control for six years for a rental that may or maybe perform as expected.

Don't sweat it. I did the same thing.

[fan_since79]

So basically, we got a guy who may or may not pan out in the majors and probably won't pitch for us for the next several years.

And that's it.

Sounds like the typical Angels trade-deadline story.

Carry on with this wonderful season...

 

[Docwaukee]

about a month ago when selling at the deadline was getting more real, guys like Norris and Maybin seemed to have more value compared to where they are right now.  Shit happens.  

Maybe they'll catch fire and win a WC spot.  Stranger things have happened.

  I  hoped the Angels might get at least two fringe prospects instead of one, but that was overtly optimistic.

I guess it was either this or put Hernandez on waivers.

ANGELS ACQUIRE Luis Madero, rhp Age: 20

The Diamondbacks signed Madero for $160,000 out of Venezuela in 2013, intrigued by his lanky body and quick arm as a 16-year old. Madero has slowly built off that foundation. He now sits 91-93 mph with a slurvy breaking ball that flashes average and also has a changeup that is below-average. Scouts still note Madero’s quick arm and the projection remaining in his body, and mark him as an interesting prospect if not a major one.

Exactly what was expected ... seasonal not over

[ten ocho recon scout]

To be fair, what do we have to trade? Obviously trouts out, and i dont think we want to trade simmons. Calhoun is havig a shit uear, maybin is hurt. Escobar may have gotten something (maybe). Bedrosian maybe. Cron as part of a package. Other than that, not a whole lot.

Just have to hope the farm comes along.

Trading Hernandez doesn't make a whole lot of sense
