Who do you trade for Heath Bell?
He ain’t worth Wood and/or S-Rod.
I’ll stick with Bulger and his high K-rate and his stuff over sending a bunch of folks away. Bulger, Jepsen, Dondo (if healthy), Oliver and Fuentes are fine. Not the best we’ve had, clearly, but not awful. Let’s see how this bullpen does over the next 60 games. If they are healthy, have 1/2 year of experience in the younger guys and keep their stuff – which is very good – they could be just fine.
Remember, they can promote from within too.
Bullpen arms are expensive for little to no guarantee. You are better going with guys that are cheap and throw hard. It doesn’t pay to spend money (or prospects) on relievers. They are terribly flukey.

True...
That did hurt us a lot in the playoffs… but I felt the team played worse overall after the trade. They just didn’t seem the same to me.
by thetooth on Jul 31, 2009 1:20 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't konw how to explain it exactly...
It seemed like Teix put up big numbers, but the team just didn’t seem to be the same. I think there weren’t any real trades for a long time, then they dumped off a guy that had basically grown up in the organization. I’m not saying that Teix wasn’t an upgrade, but I think his arrival screwed with team chemistry and hurt the team more than his extra offensive stats helped it.

I repeat
what does that mean, “didn’t seem the same?” How do you quantify that? They won a lot of baseball games. You haven’t said anything…

Last year they seemed more down to business after the trade
and seemed to stop enjoying playing the game. IMHO that’s what I saw.

There is reasoning.
Just no stats to back up the reasoning. You disagree. You have no evidence that we would have done worse with Kotchman. It’s all a guessing game. We all watch the game and take away differing opinions. To think you can pull up some stats and assume they would hold true in different circumstances is foolhardy.
This is really winding you up, though, isn’t it? Relax, man. It’s ok for us to disagree. Message boards would be awful boring if one person posted something and it was followed up by 100 posts of “yeah, that’s right”. I can only come away with new insights if people share what they think and we can disagree.

We were both trying to make a point...
Obviously, what I saw on the field led me to those beliefs.
What you saw (whether on the field, or on the stats page, or both), led you to believe something different.
That’s basically where we are. It’s a discussion that I think has to end at us disagreeing because there is no clear numerical/scientific way to decide who’s right.

what did you see? That’s what I’m asking. I haven’t said anything one way or the other. You started by saying they were “not the same.” How and why? I’m not saying I agree or disagree. Otherwise, it’s just empty commentary, the kind of thing I expect from Bill Plaschke.

but I don’t have concrete examples. If you were with me when I was watching the games last year, I could have pointed out the things that I based my perception on. At this point, I’m watching the 2009 Angels and don’t remember most of the minutiae of last years season. I just remember seeing it and talking about it with friends last year. Sorry I don’t have good specific examples.

Not sure if it's concrete, but here's
something interesting. Last year with Kotchman on July 29th, we were on track to win 100 games. We got Teixiera and all the improved batting he brought over Kotch and won…100 games. Would we still have made 100 with Kotch? Who knows. But it’s an interesting question. :)

Sigh...
I saw that as well… but I saw it with either first baseman. After the trade, it didn’t seem like the team fought as hard when they were down and they didn’t seem to have the same chemistry.
You’ve already said my observation is worth nothing to you, so why worry about it. It’s not a stat thing… I can’t quantify it for you. Maybe, if I had a bunch of extra time, I could look through the stats and see how players may have or may have not changed and how we did in games we fell behind pre-trade and post-trade or some such thing, but I don’t have time for that.
Why don’t you just assume I’m an idiot and let it go. I’m obviously not expressing myself very well.

The reason
for the change, per a story on MLB Network last night, was for the benefit of teams playing on the west coast – i.e., they’re playing games in the final hours of the deadline, meaning they are shorthanded, whereas east coast teams could play with full rosters, then make a deal later.

the m's are gearing up for a run next year
proven by trading away washy whose contract expires at the end of the year
the rangers in their hearts know they dont have it

Damnit!
Yup the Jays issued a statement saying that Halladay stays.
Come on!
All this for nothing?!!!

Yep.
Screw it, I like this team anyhow. Mediocre pitching, but leave it to Soth to get things right.
Let's win one for Nick

Mortgage
Are the same people who wanted us to trade every under 27 player we have & all of the Bees to Toronto for Halliday, the same type of people who mortgaged a $500,000 house when they make $50K a year? It’s bad math. Just cause you want it doesn’t mean it’s wise to do it.
Nick, you will always be an Angel. And you will be missed.

I don't want to deal everyone
I just wanted another top of the line starter. And a deal involving Wood, Aybar, Saunders, and a pitching prospect surely isn’t the entire future.
We have middle infield depth.

I liked being in first and winning without and I'll continue to like it that way
when we get our beloved ninja signed Torii Hunter back in the lineup it’ll feel like we made a trade

Plus Vlad was rounding back into form when he went down again.
Getting Torii and Vlad for Juice and Quinlain/Willits will do a lot.

also when beckett outduels lackey
and then the other sux pitchers blow away the rest of our guys (look at weav’s stats, he declines in the 2nd half of the year each year and is doing it again) while they have as good of a lineup as us, it will feel like we made a huge trade

Beckett ain't out-dueling Lackey this year.
Fact. Count on it.
Don't call me Desmond
by highlandhalo on Jul 31, 2009 1:56 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
twice?
i can see him matching and maybe out-dueling him once in a series
but i consider it a great day to get 3 off beckett in 7 innings
ill eat my hat if im wrong, but i just dont see lackey outdoing beckett twice, and even if he did their bullpen owns theirs
it will take a lot of magic and or luck to win both of the matchups between the aces

If I remember correctly
It was freakin Lester who was killing us.

it was both
and we still dont have a #2 starter while the sux have 2 guys that are arguable better than our #1

you know maybe this seems familiar to me
because isn’t this what 2002 looked like when we were known for comeback wins and the dramatic which just drains opposing teams confidence………. just a thought

The difference is the last 2 years we got to the postseason and couldn't score, period.
This year might be the same, but I’m thinking with the O we’ve had the last 2 months, it won’t be.

Something that hasn’t been reported yet.
Poor Halladay. That guy has gone through so much crap lately, its a miracle he hasn’t gone completely nuts yet.

He did, look at his last start in Seattle.
Mike Napoli speaks softly and carries a big stick.

If he shoots up the front office before his next start, I’d probably understand haha

im so tired of hearing the analysts croon over halladay
they are still saying the phils and sux should have gotten him but they arent facing the facts
1.) jp was ridiculous in his asking price
2.)the phils stole lee without really giving anything
3.)pitching has never been the problem for the sux, they needed hitting and they got it

There's a sale on Kleenex at Stater Bros, everyone...
jeez, you think we just got eliminated and the season is over today, judging by some of the posts here.
THIS WAS THE TRADING DEADLINE. There are 62 games and and entire set of playoff games still to be played.
While I would have like to have a Roy Halladay or a Heath Bell or BOTH, you have to give Soth and Reagins the benefit of the doubt. They had all the information on the table right in front of them and they know a lot more than we do about what it was going to take to get Bell or Halladay. So, STFU with the whining.
I love this team.
