“He has a pulse. We won the trade!”, those were the words that Jim wrote when the Andriese trade was announced on the SnakePit back in January 2020 and the Los Angeles Angels apparently were prepared to give up “something”.
That something carried the name Jeremy Beasley. Fangraphs did not include Beasley in the Angels’ top 30 prospects list, but he got a mention amongst a bunch of Anaheim prospects: “Beasley has the best long-term prognosis as a potential fifth starter. His splitter is plus, the rest of his stuff average.”
Beasley in 2019 pitched mainly in AA and a handful of games in AAA, for the Angels, where he did not do that well.
