Jeff Zimmerman

9:54

Oh ... that sport.

9:55

Shelby Miller

Paul Swydan

9:55

that's the problem - Miller wasn't that good either.

It's closer to the Vernon Wells trade, I think.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:56

David Cone for Ed Hearn

Paul Swydan

9:56

Yeah that's a good one.

Pragmatist

9:56

Would you rather have dinner with Joe Maddon, Yaseil Puig or Brandon Phillips?

Paul Swydan

9:56

Anyone but Joe Maddon.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:56

Dinner, Maddon. I would go partying with the other two.

Paul Swydan

9:57

I would probably pick Phillips just because of the language barrier, I suppose.

The language barrier with Puig, that is.

9:57

Do the Angels have any chance of a successful rebuild without trading Trout?

Paul Swydan

9:58

A rebuild? No. But they may have done enough retooling to sneak into a postseason berth this season.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:58

No, because Trout pretty much makes them a .500 team. They need some top picks

Moltar

9:59

Cousins = Kazmir for Vic Zambrano

Paul Swydan

9:59

I don't think so. Kazmir was still a prospect, not a guy who had dominated for 6+ years.

Ryan

9:59

Gray, Paxton or Foltynewicz in a dynasty league?

Paul Swydan

9:59

Give me Gray. Give me the Ks.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:59

Gray and hope he gets traded

David

10:00

Last keeper. Kluber, or Buxton in a dynasty format?

Paul Swydan

10:00

Kluber if you're contending this year. Buxton if you're not.

Jeff Zimmerman

10:01

Kluber

How about Bagwell for Anderson

Paul Swydan

10:01

Again, that's a prospect deal.

Moltar

10:02

IMO the Kazmir/Zambrano works because it was a low-info FO making an impulse trade over "intagibles" rather than canvassing for the best offer. The section about it in Keri's Extra %2 almost gave me a rage stroke, which is how I might imagine Kings fans are feeling...

Paul Swydan

10:02

Kings fans are probably well past rage, and have settled into a deep apathy.

10:03

As for me, I've settled into a deep sleepiness. So I think this is where we're going to call it a night. Thanks, as always, for hanging out. Talk to you next week!

Jeff Zimmerman

Roger Maris trade
