Re: One GM Says Angels Should Take CoCo
We've got about the same chance of getting Ed Wood from the Angels as we do Brandon Wood.

How many closers do the Angels need?

Cordero for Izturis straight up. I jump on it. I enjoy finger painting though, so these opinions might not be valid.

Re: One GM Says Angels Should Take CoCo
I have said before that the Angels could use Coco. Fuentes has been very average (ERA+ ~105) and their pen is very thin. Not a good sign for the playoffs.
I suspect Wood is their third baseman once Figgins leaves this winter. They would still have two major league caliber starting shortstops (Aybar and Izturis) even if they keep Wood. So...one of their shortstops plus a prospect for Coco. Seems like a win win type of trade.

Re: One GM Says Angels Should Take CoCo
The problem is that Cordero's large contract greatly reduces his value in a trade. I am afraid the Reds will get far less for him than many of you hope, since the main point of trading him would be to unload what's left of his $46 million contract.
