Bad start for Schanuel is it time to send him down. He is very young just does not look reedy just yet.
Mark P

While Schanuel performed respectably well last season, it was absolutely an act of desperation by the Angels in promoting him so quickly.  The organization is so eager to finally win that they're looking for quick fixes rather than real lasting answers.

Can I please go to Baltimore for some prospects?
Mark P

The Orioles don't need another outfielder.  Especially not an outfielder who is injured for what might be a lengthy amount of time.

Thoughts on the Phillies city connect jerseys?
Mark P
9:31
They're objectively not bad, but I just wish the Phillies would go back to their old logo and the burgundy/maroon color.  Eight-year-old me thought that color was really cool!
And I still do!

Is this the year Mike Trout asks to be traded to a contender?
Mark P
9:32
As much as Trout seemingly feels it would be "the easy way out" to ask for a trade, he didn't entirely close the door on the possibility, and his non-answer about Arte Moreno's spending was pretty telling.

9:33
In short, I think Trout will probably ask out at some point if the Angels can't turn it around.  It could be that he's just more focused on staying healthy for a full season, for the time being.
Giants fan

What happens to the SF rotation when Robbie Ray and Alex Cobb come back from the IL?
Mark P
9:35
Webb, Hicks, and Harrison are the only pitchers who seem like rotation locks.  Unless Winn and company are really doing well, the Giants will no problem finding room for the injured guys.

That's over two hours for this chat, so it's time to wrap things up.  Thanks for all your questions, and now that my schedule has become more normalized, the Weekend Chat should again be on more of its regular schedule going forward.
fyi, if you're interested in more baseball Q&A, one of the many benefits of our Trade Rumors Front Office subscription is the exclusive weekly live chats. The more limited field means you're about 10 times more likely to get a question answered, as opposed to battling for space with hundreds of other questions in today's chat. For more on our memberships, check out this link:
