Not sure why he was put on waivers by AZ to begin with. He has a pretty good track record of success in the minors and has shown decent potential. I would’ve at least kept him as a trade chip.

Nearly every single team in the major leagues passed on him after being placed on waivers
ThatGuy 2
Not a single national league team wanted him

Eppler getting one of his prospects from when he was with the Yankees, good pickup.
bucknerforhall
thats insane – he was their # 3 prospect.
whats going on in AZ?
Nice pick up for ANA – maybe be their #1 prospect.

I’m really enjoying these Angels prospect comments whenever they acquire a minor leaguer. No, I’m serious. They’re so thin on players that its just too funny to pass up.
NineChampionsips
Yeah theses guys are hilarious. Every waiver claim is a lotto ticket to them lol.
bucknerforhall
maybe he was arrested or something ??

IIRC he broke his pitching arm shortly after AZ picked him up in the Clippard deal.

Cashman ends up with Pineda and Clippard for Montero and Campos not bad.

Like these moves, build up the farm system.

Nice day for the Angels, get Cam Maybin and then claim a better prospect than they gave up for him

But Victor Alacantra is supposed to be pretty good right, not saying the deal was a bad one, it could work out very well, but I think Detroit got a good deal there too. They seem to have a record of trades like this, they got Michael Fulmer who could very much win ROY and now this, who knows what could happen.

He’s nowhere in that realm. Alcantra is a hard throwing project. He’s no longer a starter as Fulmer was a legitimate prospect. He has a good fb very little control. And will be needed to add to 40 man. So he’s probably a guy if he makes it through the year who will be DFAd and put in limbo.
Diablo 2
His command is trash and strikeout totals aren’t insane to offset his trash command. Will probably take him 5 years to learn to control it by then he will be a free agent and Halos can pick him up.

I lover this pickup!!!

When you have a farm system like that, anyone helps I guess, but if your the Diamondbacks…why?
