Off season targets

[Troll Daddy]

LH relief pitcher Andrew Miller.

Best record in baseball ... why change anything else.

[WallyWorld]

*sigh*

 

you're right Troll Daddy, the rotation is looking fantastic right now. Why go out and get more pesky SP? 

[hats4bats]

A calendar that doesn't end in September.

[TroutCron]

Andrew Miller would be too costly. He is probably looking at 3/20 or more. There will be several teams like the Red Sox, Tigers, and Yankees bidding, not to mention the Orioles and Dodgers as well. The Angels can't get into a bidding war for Miller.

[Hollyw00d]

Seeing as how we're going into next year with half of a starting rotation, they better be looking at more than just lefty relievers

Because you would be "hoping" Wilson has not turned into Blanton, Richards will be back healthy, and Hamilton will play as an above average player.

Scherzer

[nikkachez]

Yeah he'd put the bullpen over the top but dude's gonna get paid by a team much more desperate than us. 

[QuinlansMinion]

Can we sign some more offense please? I trust that Weaver, Shoemaker, Richards, Wilson, and Santiago will be fine.

[Revad]

Wait for the aces to sign and get the best SP that fits in the budget.

[Stradling]

Lester would be my first pick followed by Scherzer. I believe and Arte has actually said this, that he would go over the cap for the right player, I am sure he considers both of those guys the right players. I would also look to trade Howie if you can get a couple of Skaggs for him. Lastly, I would go after a guy to replace McDonald and perhaps a back up catcher that is great defensively. I am happy with our four outfielders, our first baseman, our starting catcher our short stop and our pen. I would even consider bringing back Freese, he had a pretty good second half. We just need a really good starter and a few odds and ends.

[Angel Oracle]

With our luck, Lester, Scherzer, or Shields would become just solid and not very good for the Halos.

 

Focus on another starter that won't cost $150-$200 million.

Get a LOOGY in here.   Bye Margaret, you were an abysmal failure in the tradition of Doug Corbett 1982!

See how much Russell Martin would sign for.   If not too much, sign him and use Iannetta as a trade chip to get a decent starter.

Make Rasmus a really good set-up guy.

Still think Martin would be a mistake...

Masterson

McCarthy

Peavy

Vogolsong

Give me a #3/4 type starter. Hope Richards is back in late May June. We'll be good

[Hollyw00d]

Peavy

[HaloCory22]

Miller will most likely be a Dodger. They'll overpay for him.

 

I'd like to go after a 3/4 starter like Vogelsong or Peavy.

A starting rotation of Scherzer, Richards, Weaver, Shoemaker, and Skaggs would make this team pretty amazing.

[Hollyw00d]

Skaggs isn't pitching next year, and I'm not assuming Richards is either until I see him on the field

[Troll Daddy]

Richards should be on schedule to start the season from what I hear.

 

Weaver

Richards

Shoemaker

Wilson

Santiago

Rasmus

LeBlanc

 

I wouldn't mind going after a legit 3-4 starter ... but our offense is pretty much set for 2015. 

[DoubleOffTheWall]

Our offense will be a much bigger problem going forward than our pitching

[Lou]

i wouldn't mind having Rasmus work as a starter in winter ball

[Stradling]

I think we won't see Richards until they are 100% sure he is healthy, he's too important to our future to mess around with. So expect him in the majors at the end of May. We need a front line starter, because we don't know for sure how Richards or Shoe will be next year. Both have only had success this one year.
