   Angels Official Website: Trout is MLB's best and deserves AL MVP Award

   November 13, 2013 by AngelsWin.com

   • 0 replies
   • 214 views

   In 2013, Mike Trout cemented his case as baseball's best player, his combination of speed, power and defense still rivaled by no one. However, he likely won't be taking home the AL MVP Award. View the full article

   NL clears Hurdle; Tito takes home AL prize

   I'm not too surprised by Hurdle winning the NL manager of the year but ... Tito is a little surprising.

   Free agents reject qualifying offers

   Free agents reject qualifying offers A few of these guys may be waiting for a while before getting signed. Especially Napoli. Losing a pick to a DH, that might not even be fully healthy, doesn't seem to be a recipe for lot's of offers.

   Why the Luxury Tax Really Doesn't Matter 1 2

   Good article that I learned quite a bit from about the luxury tax. There's even a section on a Mike Trout extension. The Angels could literally add 35 million dollars in payroll for next season's salary and pay a penalty of only 1.75 million. That's it. Why was anyone afraid of this in the first place? http://www.monkeywithahalo.com/2013-articles/november/the-angels-the-luxury-tax-and-mike-trout-s-contract-extension.html

   Current Prospect 2014 impact 1 2

   • 1.9k views

   In 2013, the Angels had a down year but did have several rookies make their debuts. Now, none made the impact that Trout had made in 2012, but a few players did do well enough to show they belonged for 2014. Hank Conger and Kole Calhoun stand out and Luis Jimenez showed signs of life with the bat to go along with spectavular defense before slumping and getting injured. Grant Green did hit well. So I ask, Which guys from the system will make an impact for 2014?

    LA Times: Angels and Dodgers play waiting game on Japan's Masahiro Tanaka

    The teams have the right-hander as one of their primary free-agent targets this off-season, but a change in the posting rules for the transfer of players from Nippon Professional Baseball to the major leagues is holding up things. ORLANDO, Fla. — When the general managers' meetings started Monday, the Dodgers and Angels still didn't know if or when one of their primary targets, Japanese right-hander Masahiro Tanaka, would be available this off-season.

    I apprecaite reading everyone's take on the state of Angels Baseball. Like you, the past year's have been disapointing, however I remain an Angels fan. I beleive in the following, going into next season: 1) For fans, this is a key year to see what Albert P does. He gave us nothing in years 1 and 2. We suspect given his age, his numbers at the back end of his contract won;t be anyhting to write home about. If he can;t produce STRONG overall numbers this year, we can't expect anything from him for his reamining years. This is the off season he has had the opportunity to get healthy. You's think he has extra motivation, given how poorly he's produced to date. …

    Why do major writers keep linking the Angels to this guy? I have seen it repeatedly this off season, and it seems to be more than just "he is a big name and the Angels like to sign big names, so McCann could be on their radar." I gotta believe McCann is at the bottom of Jerry's list, right next to Napoli and Santana. Anyone disagree? Anyone think we should be pursuing him?

    Many of the pieces the Angels need to compete for a playoff spot are already in place, so the free-agent splashes the club made the past two offseasons are not needed -- and would likely be counterproductive. View the full article
