Let's Go Angels!

Mark Gubicza just said on the Baseball Report on FSN that the Angels are the ones that will pull of the trade for Matt Holliday.

by 44FAN on Jul 4, 2008 6:05 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

RRRRRRreallly?

Not like our announcers to be talking rumours. What exactly did Mr Gubicza say? Was he vague? Was he forthright?

Please tell me it’s Quinlan for Holliday straight up so the Rev has to eat crow.

Don't call me Desmond

by highlandhalo on Jul 4, 2008 6:35 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Gubicza said Angels need the big bat to win a world series, and they were talking GMJ in the trade.

He indicated Angels had the lead over any other team to pull off the trade and that Holliday was a sure bet to be traded by the Rockies. That was about it. Plus Rosenthal was on earlier reiterating what he has already written on FOXcom.

Interesting.

How does GMJ help?

Plus he has a no trade clause

DFA-ing isn't much of a threat.

Benching is.

Correct. The recipe for SUCCESS here is as follows:

Johnny is a plus batter. He lead the second half in 2006. Use him.


GMJ apparently DID use performance enhancers in his contract year. Stop starting him.


Vladdy needs to remember that he’s Vlad Friggin Guederrrroo…


Get Nathan Haynes here ASAP. Desmond needs your help!


and Hula needs to start playing like the Hula Dula that we thought we signed…


And if they do all that… they’ll shock the monkey!

He'll do that every once in a while though.

He had a great 3 game stretch in may. He’s either totally dominant or bad. Really Santana-ish type of variance, and that’s why I’m still pretty high on him.

They said no CG for Weaver on TV.

But I dunno. With that much run support, and only 92-ish pitches, he could do it.

Just checking in

things look good for the Halos. Just turned on ESPN Baseball Tonight, they were showing the plays of the day, they showed a sweet play by Kotch (where he threw to Weaver) but they were talking about the Sox during it and none of the announcers paid attention to it.
