Garcia for Santana?

Someone reporting the idea that Angels swap Garcia for Santana. This just doesn't make any sense to me... The article cited something about Garcia's performance in Angel Stadium, but I don't see that as a valid reason to trade a starting pitcher who has worked for us.

Maybe someone can clue me in...?

Absolute Joke

No way Stoneman makes this trade - he DOES get value when he finally gets around to trading...

Except for Callaspo/Bulger

That one still pisses me off, regardless of how Callapso turns out.

I read this earlier today, too, and just shook my head. Dunno who thought this was a reasonable trade, but it seemed like they were implying that it would take Santana AND someone else to land Garcia. That's a fuckin' joke.

The irony here

ids that the blogs now have more reasonable/realistic trade ideas than the shit-for-brain nepotists at the Mainstream Media's Fishwrap...

has to be more to it than that

Crede has to be in it or something, maybe chone goin back too.

A bad day at the ballpark is better than the best day at work

The thinking might be

that Garcia would be an option to replace Santana, ala Zito. When and if Santana is traded for Wells.

This is laughable

Garcia had a worse season last year than Santana and he is a free agent after the year.

Dunmb even if Crede is involved.

Stoneman I am really curious what you have up your sleeve considering your job is on the line. PS GMJ is not an option

How can Santana be traded for a bat

if he's already been traded for Garcia.

And this guy is a fucking idiot. Seriously, the crap about Garcia's best work being done in Anaheim. Does he realize that means it was done AGAINST the Angels?

So the Angels would trade Santana and another player for a pitcher who is:

eight years older,
$8MM more expensive, and
was just as "good" last year as Santana.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Space-filling

This was never a serious deal, just a sportswriter with column-inches to publish.

Fire Mickey Hatcher. An entire generation of Angels offense depends upon it.

Ken Williams himself

has vehemently denied the truth to this proposterous rumor. At least if these guys are going to make shit up, have it make SOME semblance of sense. Garbage!
