This article written just before the trade deadline was basically an indictment of Angels upper management. Seeing Greinke light it up for the Dodgers while Jean Segura was a rookie All-Star for the Brewers is enough to make Angels fans angry, but the Vernon Wells trade(s) have been unconscionable. Paying Vernon Wells $72 million for 2 seasons should go down as top 5 worst moves in the history of baseball. The one thing this article forgets is that we gave up Patrick Corbin & Tyler Skaggs for a Dan Haren rental as well. Maybe next year, the author can add this as the third-worst trade, with Josh Hamilton & Joe Blanton bringing up the rear as the fourth & fifth-worst.
Honestly, who is in charge of the Angels pitching scouting? My sister could tell you Blanton was finished, yet he is still coming out of the bullpen. Am I the only one watching?
UPDATE - Blanton came in during the 14th inning and promptly gave up 3 of the total 5 runs on the night. I would rather have Scioscia pitch.
