Gameday Thread: Angels @ Rangers (8/3/21): Suarez on the mound, Adell in RF

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Marsh really needs to wear some foot protection. 

[rafibomb]

Marsh has an excellent approach at the plate but sometimes he just needs to be aggressive and swing earlier in the count if he sees a pitch he likes

[Lou]

Marsh could use 2 days off.

He's not very hygienic.

I gotta say, it shows - his reactions are late and muted.

What part of it is sad ?  It’s about resource management and even if Adell or Marsh aren’t the answer I’d rather use those resources on pitching, rotation or bullpen. 

you think giving up a controlled pitcher with pretty good upside to get rid of the last year of an expensive but still productive player is a good use of resources ? Damn, have you sent your resume into the Angels ? I think you've got a shot !!

LIGHT IT!!! It's the Age of Adell.

I did a carriage ride through NO and they took us by his house.

Adell’s approach looked much improved. Great sign and hope he can keep it going. I loved the walk too. 

[tdawg87]

I saw a movie with him in it.

That was reference but when I tried listening I couldn’t get through the whole song.  But that’s me.

Didn't get to see the game. What were your impressions of Selman?

[T.G.]

Heck of a game by Gosselin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What?

This was the issue he had in AA when people were wondering "what's wrong with Marsh?".

Upside doesn’t mean $hit in 2022, which is what we’re talking about.  If you give me a choice, I’d rather have Stroman / Gausman / Syndegaard then Canning & Upton next year.

I think you’re operating on a false premise here.  I don’t know that it’s strictly the case that Upton has to go in order for the Angels to get a guy like the 3 you mentioned there.    You can never have enough pitchers.  You especially never have enough controlled guys like Canning.  Also, at this point you’re probably trading low on Canning.  Bad move imo.

Other than a hit batter he was practically perfect. Really solid trade swapping 1 year of Watson for 4 years of Selman (who can potentially be another Watson) and 2 other relief prospects.

I’d throw someone like Canning in with some A-ball prospects (top 10)  like to unload all or part of Uptons salary if it meant bringing in a TOR.  

Upton has a no trade clause. I don't see him going anywhere.

Canning has diminished trade value right now. He was demoted to AAA. Had one start with SLC, gave up 6 runs in 2 innings and moved to the IL 3 weeks ago with a lower back strain.
