May 10, 200916 yr Any team thinkin they can contend is not going to trade you a quality pitcher. The Angels will not tade Joe Saunders, etc. Howeevr, if Pedro Martinez will sign a Bart Colon type deal he might be an option.

He is their number 1, that wouldnt make any sense at all. Thats not quite the example you want to look for here.
May 10, 200916 yr Ervin Santana John Lackey Joe Saunders Jared Weaver Matt Palmer yeesh. Just imagine if Adenhart was still there.
May 10, 200916 yr Oliver Perez can't throw a strike, and it seems Contreras pitches way too many. Not an obvious upgrade, but certainly in the Coop can Fix 'Em brand. I do wonder if Phil Hughes continues to be hit around, if he'll ever be on the market. Patience wears thin in New York.

May 11, 200916 yr I was watching the game Sat. night and Hawk was going off about all the starting pitching we have in our organization. Is this true? He said the Sox system was loaded with talent. What pitchers in our system can you say with 80 percent certainly will excel in the bigs?
May 11, 200916 yr Author The Angels are one of the few pitching rich organizations actually. Saunders is not their ace, Lackey is, although Saunders is my favorite. I think the majority of you misread the OP. Pedro, Odalis, Byrd? This is the same crap everyone keeps talking about. "Plug in these guys for the season blah blah." NO. We have more than enough prospects to land a stud pitcher under contract. We need to sell high on some players/prospects. Plus we are drafting 5 high-end prospects this draft. Although we cannot trade them, we can replace departed ones. Angels need bats, we have major league bats..albeit that appears to be in theory now haha. Saunders Homer Bailey is too much of a project from what I understand, but good thinkin. Who do we seriously match up with?

May 11, 200916 yr I know they pretty much suck, but what about Ian Snell or Tom Gorzelanny from the Pirates? The Pirates are never in contention, and unless they have a ridiculous asking price for Snell or Gorzelanny, it might be possible. I think both guys might be big projects for Coop, and if I had to pick, I'd prolly go with Snell.
May 11, 200916 yr Pass on any Pirates not named Maholm, and his asking price is way too much. Gorzelanny's on his way to being out of baseball in a few years, and Snell would have no prayer in the AL.
