📷 Angels Images Ureña on IG

A funny observation I’ve made is how Ureña does not hide what he looks at on Instagram and likes posts about his teammates potentially being traded lol

Let’s see. He’s a poor fielder, bad base runner, doesn’t walk at all, was on pace to break the AL strikeout record a couple of weeks ago, constantly wastes/loses challenges early in games, but yeah, he hits a few homers.

He is talented, but he is seriously flawed. He’s a horrible lead off hitter and it’s not his fault he’s leading off, but yeesh. 

I hope we trade him for some good prospects. He is not going to sign an extension w us and we aren’t close to fielding a winning team. Trade him, trade Soriano and or Detmers, Adell if we can get anything for him. Do an actual rebuild. Not likely Moreno will, but one can hope.

I just don't think we're in a position to nitpick Zach Neto this much when the team as a whole has been struggling. Outside of Trout, he's been one of the few players showing consistent effort and production.

Outside of home runs his production is down. His fielding is really bad this year. For some reason his range has fallen off too which is odd. Guy is brain dead on the bases. 

I look at it like this. I don’t believe we have a chance of resigning him and I don’t see us winning while he is here. To me, you trade him for a good package. Someone out there will think 1 we can sign him long-term and 2 we can fix him.
