Jeff Weaver, his World Series performance in '06 was a complete fluke, surrounded by a career of worthlessness.

I can't find it, but someone just needs to post that pic from the press conference with Scioscia at the podium, and the four horsemen of the apocalypse behind him standing there staring into space

You mean the classic photo of Dipoto's folly?

 

[Erstad Grit]

While he was an a-hole, Mo Vaughn was a pretty good player here. 

 

Jeff Juden always bothered me a lot.

The one more obscure guy that I really hated was Eric Owens. I wanted to punch him in the ovaries

Hi Chuck - we had Armas Sr, Jr was a pitcher.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Dave Parker, Claudell Washington.

Hamilton doesn't even make the list for me.

Finley was the worst.

Von Hayes was atrocious too.

Rickey Henderson was terrible. The year after we had him, he swiped 60-70 sbs for Oak.

Almost forgot....my favorite name:

Relief pitcher has to be Doug Corbett. We traded Tom Brunansky for him in 1982 and he completely crapped the bed. May have cost us the World Series that year.

Exactly.

For those with selecive memories, Mo had an ops of .865 in his 2 seasons here.

He also hit 69 HRs and had 51 2Bs. His obp was .362

Here at Angelswin we believe that you are either a Hall of Famer, or you suck.

In the steroid era those numbers dont look as good.  .865 OPS is more like a .765 OPS.  30 home runs in a season was more like 17 home runs.  Gotta adjust for inflation.

[Stradling]

So if Trout hits 45 this year it will be like hitting 75 in the steroid era.

Yeah like 65-75 something like that.

Amazingly, that would barely break the record*

We all know offense was way up during those years, but I decided to take a look at just how much. 45 players hit 30 or more HRs in 1999(Vaughns first year here) and 13 of those players hit 40 or more. Last year there were 11 players that hit 30 or more and one at 40. That's just insane. I miss the steroid era.

Yeah those are pretty staggering numbers.  Back in the days a 20 home run guy was your run of the mill cheap pickup in the free agent market.

Was thinking the same thing about kole last night. Kind of reminds me of buhner
