Same exact team next year, how would we do?

[zenmaster]

Let's say we have the same players at the beginning of next year. And exact same staff from the owner down to the base coaches. Assume all injuries are healed and we start with what we have now.

 

How would we do? I predict 70-92

 

[Angel Oracle]

Houston and Tejas will be solid.

Seattle is only 5 games under .500 currently.

 

I say 75-87. 

[Docwaukee]

92-70

 

All the players who had off years would do much better.  

[UndertheHalo]

This depends on a lot of things, does Trout slump for much of the 2nd half ? What are we getting out of Shoemaker and Wilson ? does Richards get his game together ? Is Freese healthy the whole year ? What does Albert do ? This team clearly has its problems but the makings of a pretty good team are also there. Many things have gone badly this year.

in before FIRE SCIOSCIA

[Troutstanding]

around .500

[VariousCrap]

Maybe a few games over .500

 

Pujols will only get worse.  A full season of Murphy would be better than Joyce, but still nothing special.  Johnny G would probably slip a bit.  Weaver will continue to get worse and Wilson, you never know what you'll get.  3B and C would be pretty laughable.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Ugh I don't even want to think about this team next year as-is.

[laagamer]

That's pretty much going to be the reality with the contracts we've currently dug ourselves into.

That whole FA thread is nice, but I don't think Arte will shell out for jack ****in' shit personally.

[zenmaster]

At this point I'd take our current lineup as long as we can gut all the managers and coaches. Not that it's even all their fault. We just need a drastic change and it's easier to do it with coaches/managers than players.

Well all things considered, they should trade Hamilton to some other team before he outs himself for snorting coke off of a strippers behind.

This.
You can't fire all the players, but you can sure as hell fire the manager and all his cronies.

[Homebrewer]

Well... you can nicely ask the manager to please opt out of his contract....

and then fire all his cronies

[LAA Road Tripper]

70 to 75 wins.

[Blarg]

Johnny Walleyevotella needs to get his vision fixed in order to make this years roster translate to next year but in reality this roster is not the roster they broke camp with.

[tdawg87]

Since this team never meets our expectations be them lofty or low, 104 wins. WS championship. People are still mad because it means Sosh will likely get an extension.

[HaloNArizona]

Tough to say....Next year our pitching staff will look much different.  Even with the regression of Weaver, you still have Skaggs coming back, a healthy-ish Wilson.  Is this the real Shoe or is it a Sophmore slump?

 

Not to mention, we will not be returning the same time next year as this year.  Crapanetta will not be back, LF will not be a black hole, We will see an upgrade along the way.

Houston, Texas and Oakland will all have gotten better.

 

So the Angels would do awful. 

They have been lucky this year when it comes to injuries. 

[Blarg]

How do you know they won't all be worse?

[NrM]

How do you know they won't all be worse?

 

cause it's just...like..my opinion man..

[Angelsjunky]

84-87 wins. This team has underperformed a bit. Not a huge amount, but a bit.

[Ray McKigney]

0 wins. They would lose every game. Just my opinion.

[Homebrewer]

Saddam is handing out the bowling shoes in this thread, I see.

[floplag]

if we do nothing at all we are a 500 team at best and third to even 4th place.

[bloodbrother]

Probably the same as what we're seeing this year. This offense is comically bad
