Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – May 22, 2013
Mike Trout hit for the cycle. Did he also save Mike Scioscia‘s job?
Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I ponder the future of the 2013 Los Angeles California Angels of Anaheim in Orange County. Will they tail off? Or will the night that Mike Trout had the best night of his career also be the turning point of a championship season?
Gregor Blanco, Adam Wainwright, Max Scherzer and Mike Trout all owned baseball on May 20, 2013.

Arroyo’s Last Stand: Revisiting The Trade That Brought Him To Cincy For Wily Mo Pena

Wily Mo Pena was the classic ‘tease’ power hitter for several MLB clubs. The Reds sold high on him – as he only hit 34 HRs and drove in 105 RBI in his 827 AB for 4 different clubs over 6 seasons after he left Ohio – before packing up for Japan. With Cincy, He hit for 51 HRs and drove in 134 RBI during his 830 AB with them. I would say that the Trade has worked out well for the Reds – in receiving a top of the Rotation Starter for almost a decade in exchange. Wily Mo Pena was still the best Batting Practice hitter in the Majors. Clubbing 84 HRs in 1703 Career AB is just a little over 1 HR per 20 AB. Just not worthy of a Pitcher like Arroyo.

In March of 2006, the Reds completed a deal that sent outfielder Wily Mo Pena to the Boston Red Sox for Starting Pitcher Bronson Arroyo and cash.
Now, in 2013, Bronson Arroyo is in the final year of a contract with the Reds and Wily Mo Pena is in the Japanese League. With all the talk from fans for the team to sign Shin-Soo Choo to a long term deal, the name not being mentioned is Bronson Arroyo.
It almost seems like a foregone conclusion that he will walk at the end of the season, but is that the right move?
