[Angrioter]

Maybe the kid's a baseball fan/hacker and is secretly tapped into all 30 GM's laptop's/tablets.

 

Thanks God. Alex unable to use a computer.

[Dr. Dinger]

Looks like this is almost done. Law and Olney discussing on twitter with particulars being...

 

White Sox get Adam Eaton

Angels get Hector Santiago, Tyler Skaggs

Dbacks get Trumbo

 

Angels make out like Bandits here if this goes through. Skaggs and Santiago. Dbacks, wtF?

 

Nice value for LAA.

[woods of ypres]

Chicago would only get Eaton? Wow.

[Dr. Dinger]

I still like Skaggs. Has everyone given up on him?

 

I like Skaggs as a possible SP3. This deal helps the fantasy value of all players involved.

[KingKat]

Isn't Voros McCracken unemployed?

 

f*** him. Chris is better than him.

 

Ceiling

Cotillo ----> Ken Rosenthal

Chris ------> Voros McCracken

[KingKat]

All things considered I'd take Skaggs and Santiago all day over Holland & Happ.

 

I wonder if he was being facetious.

I like Skaggs as a possible SP3. This deal helps the fantasy value of all players involved.

 

I like this trade for him. Moves to a more pitcher friendly park, he'll probably be given a chance to pitch this year too. Arizona seemed to be jerking him around. He's now 1 step closer to becoming a front of the line starter.

I think teams are starting to feel bad for the Angels. They are supplying them with cheap pitching.

On the derp scale, Towers is quickly catching up to Amaro.

[NorthOf49]

I'd still take Holland over Skaggs. Santiago over Happ, but it could go either way as a total.

Me too and it's not even close. Holland is really really good and has a really really good contract.

[NorthOf49]

Update the title... it's done!

 

[Abomination]

Dunno, he just acquired a player to fill ... where exactly is he playing in the field? I'd say that fits the Jack Z profile more than Amaro.

[Sammy225]

I am going to compare Towers to A.A. He made some good moves to bring in some talent and get some good youth. But now he feels the need that it is time to try and compete and now has gone full derp.

The heavily rumored three-team trade between the Angels, Diamondbacks and White Sox has been completed, a source tells Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. Mark Trumbo and a pair of players to be named later will head to the Diamondbacks, Adam Eaton will join the White Sox and Hector Santiago and Tyler Skaggs are headed to the Angels (Twitter links).

 

The Diamondbacks were set on acquiring either Trumbo or Shin-Soo Choo at this week's Winter Meetings, according to earlier reports. He will slot into the outfield for the D-Backs, which isn't a perfect fit for Arizona given his defensive shortcomings in the outfield. Trumbo has belted 66 home runs over the past two seasons, posting a .250/.305/.471 batting line.

 

In 992 innings as an outfielder throughout his career, Trumbo has a -7.0 UZR/150. While his walk rate climbed to a career-best eight percent in 2013, that's still below the league average, and it came along with a career-worst 27.1 percent strikeout rate. Still, he should provide a great deal of power to a D-Backs outfield that finished last in the Majors in home runs in 2013. In fact, Trumbo's mark of 34 homers alone ties the collective mark posted by Arizona outfielders last season.

Oh come on D'backs.

[Brenner]

Must be more going to the White Sox otherwise I don't get why they gave away a cheap young good SP.

[Brenner]

I actually like their end. Santiago is a 4/5 type and I like Eaton to be an average OF or better.

 

I must have the wrong Adam Eaton, I thought they were getting this... http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/e/eatonad01.shtml and that is why I thought it made no sense.

[Abomination]

I think the White Sox are the winners here.

 

For sure, although it'll be interesting to see if things change when we find out who the prospects are.

[Abomination]

MLBTR linked the wrong Adam Eaton.

[Abomination]

Adam Eaton's nickname......SPANKY!

 

There's gotta be a good story behind that...

[Ziggyy108]

How much value do you think Joey Bats has, seeing what Trumbo just returned in a trade????

[GeorgiaPeach]

I'd still take Holland over Skaggs. Santiago over Happ, but it could go either way as a total.

 

If you flip it around I'd take Santiago over Holland, and Skaggs easily over Happ.

[NorthOf49]

I'd take Holland over Skaggs, Santiago and Happ combined (contracts considered).

[GeorgiaPeach]

Santiago over Holland? WTF?

 

My bad....I kept thinking it was Quintana that was being moved. I get those two South Americans mixed up all the time.

[NorthOf49]

Santiago was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey.

[fatcowxlive]

Ever since he went out of his way to deliberately acquire Heath Bell.

 

That Tim Cahill trade was retarded too.

[GeorgiaPeach]

Okay lol, thought you went mental.

 

Out of all the MLB players those are the two I mix up identities of mostly.

[fatcowxlive]

Wasn't there an Anderson in this here post?!

 

Yeah I was thinking Anderson from the other tread, got my A's pitchers mixed up lol

[NorthOf49]

lol........and what's his background, dumbass!!

Puerto Rican. Also not South America ya bike!

[GeorgiaPeach]

All the same to me.
