MLB MLB Trade Deadline Top Five Trades the Angels

With that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I give you the top five trades the Angels failed to make at the 2010 MLB trade deadline. Newton Heath initially played on a field on North Road, close to the railway yard. the original capacity was about 12,000, but club officials deemed the facilities inadequate for a club hoping to join The Football League. Some expansion took place in 1887, and in 1891 Newton Heath used its minimal financial reserves to purchase two grandstands,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], each able to hold 1,000 spectators. Although attendances were not recorded for many of the earliest matches at North Road, the highest documented attendance was approximately 15,000 for a First Division match against Sunderland on 4 March 1893. A similar attendance was also recorded for a friendly match against Gorton Villa on fifth September 1889.

Still, the threat of a little pop in the batting order couldn't hurt.
The move was seen as a bold step, not to make the playoffs, but to get deeper into them.
Manchester United was formed in 1878 by the Carriage and Wagon department of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot at Newton Heath as Newton Heath LYR Football Club. The team initially played games against other departments and rail companies, but by 1888 the club had become a founding member of The Combination,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a regional football league. However, following the league dissolution after just one season, Newton Heath joined the newly formed Football Alliance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which ran for three seasons before being merged with the Football League. This resulted in the club starting the 1892 to 93 season in the First Division, by which time it had become independent of the rail company and dropped the LYR from its name. After just two seasons, the club was relegated to the Second Division. Like a kid finding socks beneath the brightly colored wrapping paper on Christmas morning, Angels fans once again felt short-changed on Saturday after baseball's trade deadline passed.
Too bad pitchers in the American League don't hit.

In 2008, Tony Reagins made a splash in his first year as general manager when he landed the highly prized Mark Teixeira for first baseman Casey Kotchman and a minor league pitcher.
It also should be noted that Reagins did come through with a big trade before the deadline, swapping Joe Saunders for Dan Haren. He's a tremendous addition to the rotation and has a career batting average over .300.

At the time of the acquisition, the Angels were already 10 games up in the AL West.

Because,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], although Tex himself was not on the block this year, there was certainly no shortage power-hitting, game-changing names out there, ripe for the plucking.
Since 2005, it seems Los Angeles has been in the market for another big bat to bolster their lineup. Only once did they succeed.
This year, they are eight games back of the Texas Rangers, perhaps the reason for their unwillingness to do what it takes to bring another Teixeira into the mix.

Before we examine the trades this team could have or should have made,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it must be said that one guy is not all that's missing from the Angels' lineup.

Bobby Abreu, Hideki Matsui,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Juan Rivera, and Jeff Mathis all have to step up at the plate before the Angels can hope to make the playoffs.
