could orioles acquire kazmir from oakland if they were willing to trade norris,tyler wilson and oliver drake?
We.Need.More.Grit
Don’t know why the A’s would want Norris if they’re selling, but with that said, who knows what Billy Beane thinks so it’s plausible.
MattHollidaysForearms
30-year old free agent pitcher struggling like crazy + 28 year old reliever with 16 innings of AAA experience + decent 25 year old pitcher who’s likely a middle reliever.
Does that sound tantalizing or what.
section 34
No.
MikeTroutForMayor
Am I crazy for thinking that Brandon Moss is a great fit for the Angels?
We.Need.More.Grit
Angels are looking at Lind, and Moss is almost the same (more pop for less BA) so no, you’re not.
Steven Garrison
they were looking at lind and there was a rumor they were looking at cargo as well
We.Need.More.Grit
CarGo would be a waste. Too much cash and with his declining bat, that’s not another contract the Angels can handle.
iliekcereal
Would the red sox be a fit for harang?
Bruinsfan94
Probably not. Theres no way he’s gonna keep pitching as well as he is right now.
iliekcereal
I would assume he’s at least capable of pitching as well as he did last year, which is a solid #3 starter
fighterflea
Well he’s approaching 37 so at some point you’ll be right.
MiddleIn
He could pitch half as well as he is now and would be better than Wade Miley.
Draven Moss
He is flyball pitcher, and has a tendency to flame out as the season progresses. If I’m correct, he did almost the exact same thing last year by pitching great in the first few months of the season, only to struggle during the second half. I can’t see them targeting him honestly as I don’t think he is an appopriate fit for their ballpark.
Joseph Gonzalez
Imagine harrang on an American League east team, ewww lol. I don’t trust him one bit. If you just want an innings eater however I guess you could do worse as he isn’t really expend to get in a trade
rct 2
For whatever it’s worth, his BABIP (.259) is well below his career number of .309 despite his line drive % being in line with career numbers. His fly ball right is a bit higher than normal, but his HR rate is much lower.
Couple that with his age and recent performances and I’d expect him to regress a bit and probably pitch below average over the course of the rest of the season.
Matt Dunn
I cannot wait to see Brian Johnson or Eduardo Rodriguez in the rotation for the Red Sox, I do think Henry Owens needs more time in the minors, but next year’s rotation could have a decent amount of home grown talent.
VAR
Props for not saying it would be great. I’d love to see them too. Only a matter of time really.
MattHollidaysForearms
I’m excited to see if Aaron Hicks can perhaps right the ship here and establish himself as a big league guy. All the talent in the world.
john59
I can see Kelly and/or Masterson moved to the pen after one more (poor) start and E-Rod and one of Escobar or Barnes getting a SP role.
oh Hal
Isn’t Pujols at 1st?
Jaysfan1994 2
They’d probably have Lind DH as Cron is struggling.
oh Hal
Ah, my mind was stuck in the NL, thanks.
Steven Garrison
Cron might be the trade piece to get lind
Sage
Yes Angels, ask about Lind. And while we’re on the subject, could we interest you in a Scooter Gennett and a Jonathan Broxton, as well?
Okay, but in all seriousness, I could actually see both Lind and Gennett as fits with Anaheim. Lind would obviously slot in as DH, and Gennett could be an upside play in a platoon at second with Giavotella. I don’t know much about the Angels’ system, but maybe a guy like Nick Tropeano would be a fair return?
Steven Garrison
if the names of tropeano heaney or newcomb then it would be a no deal, they could give up a reliever prospect to get lind, I heard gotts might be the name that will be traded, and I’m sure the brewers would ask for cron as well.
oh Hal
Why would they bother? And why would they ask for Cron?
Blackspur
Maybe the Angels should get Josh Hamilton from the Rangers. I hear he may be good though something of a misbehaver. Oh, they had him and gave him away to the Rangers for practically nothing just because Arti Moreno was mad at him and now they’ve got an impotent lineup. My bad.
danpartridge
Oops! We traded away exactly what we needed, and paid for the privilege.
alex 22
Masterson was masterful as usual
alex 22
Why, why, why do they keep sending Masterson out there when the they know the other team will load up on lefty hitters, and just rack his frisbie sliders all over the park? Is management really so incredibly dense that they cannot see that this guy is a horrendous choice, especially as a starting pitcher?
Harvey Romero
It baffles me that the Yankees are still trying to put off TJ for Tanaka. He clearly is not the same pitcher he was before he got hurt last year. Why not let him get the surgery he needs and still have him contribute when he comes back? Hopefully at an elite level.
Kyle Cotton
The Red Sox need a reality check and should just start building their farm system.
