And another setback for Madson

[Jason]

The reality is the Halos are going to need some arms with all the uncertainty. If not, it will be a long season.

[EDinTUSTIN]

aka..."too blessed to be stressed"

LOL You beat me to that punchline. He should have just said that his elbow isn't progressing as he had hoped and leave it at that.

[EDinTUSTIN]

Bring in the beard.

No thanks, he is what we don't need - another pitcher with a major arm injury.

[Wallerrrr]

Bring in the beard.

 

i think the board would freak out but i think it'd be pretty damn awesome.

this team does need more facial hair though ed and he fills that need perfectly.

[EDinTUSTIN]

It's OK because they have a lot of quality arms in the minors to fall back on.

LOL

LOL  Double down on the entertainment factor as well. With BW on the mound we can be watching a baseball game and a ZZ Top concert all in one!

[Homebrewer]

Both the Tigers and Angels are hurting ,  wishing they could find a closer, while Rodney is setting the world on fire.

There is something seriously wrong with this.

[Wallerrrr]

If you guys had to pick.....

 

K-Rod or Wilson?

[tdawg87]

Signing Madson wasn't a bad decision. Signing Madson and then pretty much laying your hopes on him being the closer was.

[AZMike]

If you guys had to pick.....

 

K-Rod or Wilson?

 

CJ Wilson, Brian Wilson or Bobby Wilson?

For the Angels? K-Rod I think, they already have a TJ rehab project and Wilson won't be ready for the beginning either.

For Team X? If they have the arms to cover until Wilson is ready, then him probably

[Wallerrrr]

CJ Wilson, Brian Wilson or Bobby Wilson?

[Homebrewer]

If Arte was OK with signing Wilson, knowing that both he and Madson might not be effective, or even around, until July-August...Man what a pair to have on this team for the next 2 or 3 seasons.

For right now, K-rod would be nice if he would sign for 1 year.

Let Scioscia ride K-rod like a horse until the ASB, and then work Wilson and Madson in for the stretch.

Sign em all!

[Angel Oracle]

K-Rod is no longer anything resembling a closer.   That time has long since passed.

[Wallerrrr]

So you're vote is for Wilson?

[jshep]

K-Rod is no longer anything resembling a closer. That time has long since passed.

You're probably right, but I do think he still has some useful seasons left in him even with his best days behind him.

[Wallerrrr]

crazy to think he is only 31 years old. man, he started young

[Glen]

Yup.

[tdawg87]

I'd be fine with bringing K-Rod back as a middle reliever, then just using Frieri as the closer. He's better than anything the Angels have in the minors right now, and would be nice insurance to have in case Jepsen turns back into a turd.

[Homebrewer]

K-Rod is no longer anything resembling a closer.   That time has long since passed.

Frieri can close, though.

It is everything before Frieri that is concerning.

Krod would be a nice piece to have right now, head case and all.

 

I woud love to have Wilson on board for the stretch, and for next season, but I really don't see Scioscia being able to tolerate his nuttiness for  a week, much less a season or two. I just don't see that being a happy situation for either of them.

thats why signing wilson would be awesome! lol

[Homebrewer]

LOL...Scioscia would have to either learn to laugh, or he would go after him with a bat.

Either way, it would be entertaining.

[angelduck]

So Jordan Walden doesn't sound so bad now does he?

J.C. Romero looking ok in the WBC. Cheap insurance move?
