Angels possibly interested in Marquis, Lieber, or Marshall?

[rocket]

With Escobar possibly having season-ending surgery on his shoulder, the LA Times speculates the Angels may look for a trade to fill the void.

 

When the Angels thought Lackey and Escobar would miss about six weeks, General Manager Tony Reagins said he would fill the rotation voids in-house.

 

But with Escobar out indefinitely and long reliever Dustin Moseley probably moving to the rotation, the Angels might look to sign or trade for a starter or reliever from outside the organization.

 

Among the starters available are right-hander Claudio Vargas, released by Milwaukee, and left-hander Jorge De La Rosa, who was designated for assignment by Kansas City.

 

Possible trade targets include the Chicago Cubs' Jon Lieber, Jason Marquis and Sean Marshall, Cleveland's Aaron Laffey and Jeremy Sowers, Oakland's Joe Blanton, Texas' Kameron Loe and Cincinnati's Matt Belisle.

Take Marquis take marquis take marquis.

[AlwaysaCub]

Lieber can't be traded until May, and I really don't think we should trade him anyway.

 

hey it rhymes

[Outshined_One]

Marquis for Aybar plz.

[Springfield_CUBBY]

Do the Angels have anything we need/want and could possibly get??

Just their entire farm system :D

Seriously, though, while Brandon Wood might hit for enormous power, given his terrible defense he is way too expensive. Remember we were looking at Willits to back up Pie but Willits for even Marquis would be a horrendous trade for the Cubs (unless they paid his contract in full, which wouldn't happen)

[Tracer Bullet]

Can we trade them Marquis for nothing? Literally, I just want him off the team and someone else to pay his contract. There's probably a rule against that, right? How about a ptbnl?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'd trade them Marquis for a prospect like Mason Tobin or P.J. Phillips if the Angels take on the whole contract. If the Cubs have to pick up some cash, I'd like a little better player.

Lieber can be traded if he consents to it... and why wouldn't he, if his alternative is the Cubs' bullpen?

[CoolHandLuke]

Marquis for Aybar plz.

 

 

Aybar sucks [-(

[Post Count Padder]

I'd rather not trade Lieber. Or Marshall for that matter, but we all know he slept with Hendry's wife or something and fell out of favor with the organization.

Hey, why don't I just go and eat some hay. I can lay by the bay, make things out of clay, I just may, whadaya say?

Find out if the O's would like Brandon Wood and make a deal with the Angels and flip Wood to the O's as part of the Roberts deal.

So does Marquis - it's a fair trade.

[wade]

Coulda tried to trade for Willitis, but got Reed already.

[Ryno12]

Perhaps a Marquis for Sean Rodriquez deal...

 

Wasn't there an unsubstantiated rumor about a Jacque for Sean Rodriguez last summer? It may have just been some dumb sportwriters pipedream though.

I think the only way we get Rodriguez for Marquis is if we eat a significant portion of the money owed Marquis.

[Rob]

I'd have to seriously consider Lilly for Brandon Wood. Wood might be enough of an upgrade over Theriot to cover the downgrade from Lilly to Lieber in the rotation.

I'd take that deal. Don't think the Angels would.

[Pushfrog98]

Marquis for Vlad and cash?

Unfortunately, Vlad is right handed AND his position is already taken. That wouldn't do us any good...

That was my thought exactly. :-k
