Angels land Greinke

[bleedsred]

Per Mlbtraderumors....Brewers get a top if prospect Segura and 2 aa pitchers...Pena and Hellwig.

[Tuff Nut]

Thank god he didn't go to the Cards or Pirates.

[bleedsred]

Very good point, hopefully he stays over there if he is not with the Reds...

[The Rage]

Nice trade for everybody.

Since Brewers were not going to resign Greinke, it is good they were able to land what they did.....just wondering what a similar package would look like from the Reds?

Hamilton,Corcino and Lotzkar.

Hadn't heard of the SS before now, but it looks like he was a top 100 prospect. We don't really have a top middle infielder other than Hamilton, who obviously would not be traded for Greinke.

If the 2 AA players had included Cingrani or Corcino, or BOTH, and the SS Didi or Billy, I am glad the Reds passed. That is possibly the kind of package the Brewers woulda had in mind.

That team is scary now. Especially if Haren starts pitching like himself again. They don't have the lineup that the Rangers or Yankees have, but Trout/Trumbo/Pujols aren't too shabby.

They gave up a ton for him likely going through FA after the season.

Yea but the angels will pay him. They have money. If you can sit Vernon wells and his 23 million on the bench... You're not hurting for money.

[JayBruceFan]

Kinda surprised the Angels gave up Segura but it's a good move for them

[Ohioballplayer]

The Angels are making it VERY CLEAR that they want to win, and that rotation just got a whole lot better, all I can say is wow!

Grienke
Weaver
Wilson
Haren

[Redlegs Homer]

If Ervin Santana can start to pitch like his old self again that staff will be unbeatable, especially with Pujols, Trumbo, and Trout providing run support.

While I agree that it's starting to look like the best staff in the bigs, the last time people were throwing around comments like that it was about the Philthies with Halladay, Lee, Hamels, and Oswalt. We all know what happened with them.

I expect the Angels in the World Series. The Cards will see Pujols in the big show without them after his horrific start.
