So what will Arte's big splash be this off-season?

[jsnpritchett]

I can't imagine he'll take this too kindly.  I'm expecting him to overpay on a long-term commitment.  My money is on Scherzer.

[bloodbrother]

God no to Scherzer. I'd rather it be LEster

 

don't lose a draft pick and I think he's better than Scherzer anyway.

[Ohtaniland]

Arte's Big Splash will be a new Anaheim City Council. That's where his focus will be.

[Butcher'd]

I'd rather him not make a big splash, and instead eat CJ and Hamilton's contracts this offseason

[full circle]

I wish his only big splash was throwing Mike Scioscia in the toilet and flushing him down the drain.  

[UndertheHalo]

I'll take Scherzer or Lester or Shields OR the Panda.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Lester or Shields.

[SoCALkid]

I Hope he's learned his lesson on big contracts. He needs to get rid of Sosh and show this fan base he won't allow the young talent to continue to be wasted. I think the rotation and bullpen will be ok enough to not have to sign a big name pitcher.

[Angels]

I doubt we'll be seeing any of that this offseason. No money plus he probably learned his lesson

[Redondo]

I'm not sure we go after any big names

[ABC]

what was his splash last year?

That would be an amazing offseason. Bring it on

I'm good with this

 

I'll even be happy if they can one of them.

The rotation has no one in it.  Weaver, Shoemaker, Wilson, and...?

[Mark68]

I WISH the big splash(es) would be finding a sucker to take Hamilton & Wilson.

 

But it will be Lester and maybe Martin.

[NJHalo]

A new stadium, and don't give a key to Hamilton

[Ohtaniland]

what was his splash last year?

 

His entire coaching staff.

[TeemuTrout]

A first round draft pick!

[Angel Oracle]

No more big splashes, most of them have been giant turds instead!

Learn something about evaluating talent, and stop signing aging talent to big contracts!

Just STOP it!

Watch Angelos today, and LEARN!

He doesn't sign overrated talent to giant deals anymore, and look where they are now!

[stevestevens]

Santiago and they stretch Rasmus out. Then GRich comes back.

[joeywings]

Your number 3 starter did not get out of the first inning .

Your two other starters are hurt .

 

No way Lester comes here unless he really hates Boston now.

 

I don't know where to get another big bat .

[ABC]

His entire coaching staff.

 

so none. 

[SoCALkid]

Richards hopefully back, Skaggs, Santiago.

[Angels]

Richards may be back by ST, who knows?

As far as I am concerned, only Richards/Shoe/Weav are guaranteed spots. Rest is up in the air

Wilson seems finished but I am sure he will get every opportunity in ST to see if there's anything to salvage

That's a pretty weak rotation.  Who the hell knows what you'll get from Wilson?  Shoemaker was definitely good this year, but is still a little bit of a question mark for me.  Santiago is a mini-Wilson.  Rasmus as a full-time starter, who knows?  Richards, 6-9 month recovery from a surgery done in late August.

 

Lots of questions.
