Martin Maldonado traded to the Astros

[Anaheim Ohtanitrouts]

Wow Sandoval is close friends with my little brothers what a cool trade. Hopefully he makes it to the show!

Eppler traded away a defensive-first catcher.  The kind of guy Scioscia likes.  Is this telling?

He went to MVHS. I swore I knew a baseball player with the last name Sandoval when I went to MVHS. Do you know if he has an older brother?

No.  He's a free agent at the end of the year and the Angels have no chance at the playoffs.  This literally means nothing.

Someone should let him know to bring a seat cushion.

There's a lot of buzz here about Sandoval, but what about the other guy they got, International Money? He has a cool name. Is he a rapper or something?

I do not know but I went to elementary/middle school with the kid and he was always a nice guy and humble. Happy he's being traded to his hometown team.

Yep, they could even re-sign him, if desired.

Well it should tell the people that start threads about whether or not Eppler is subordinate to Scioscia something.

Yep, I have always thought guys on the internet know a lot more about the value of a defensive catcher than a GM of a major league team.  Couldn't agree more.

Fixed.

This means Briceno gets a shot as a starter ? I have a good feeling about Briceno cause he hit a HR In his first game just like Mike Napoli !
