Angels out on big LF FA

[The_Outrunner]

Good to know the west is really progressing as we regress... So there's that

[UndertheHalo]

It's just semantics but he did say "probably" and "if he had to decide right now". Nothing would surprise me at this point. This is certainly disappointing news tho.

[Angel Oracle]

Arte Moreno wouldn't know a good scout if he saw one.

Too many mediocre acquisitions says so.

[WallyWorld]

The Simmons trade looks retarded now, not because of who/what Simmons is, but because we traded away a young SP prospect with high upside. If you're going to punt on the next couple of years, why not keep Newcomb (and Ellis for that matter) in your system and let him develop - maybe he turns into an ace. 

 

**** this shitty team.

The Angels are the lakers of baseball. After how arte handled the Hamilton situation by leaving him out there and trading him... Now FAs dont want to play for him... bullshit he didnt make an offer to Heyward... Heyward doesnt want to work for arte...... neither does anyone else.... this team us effed... feel bad for trout... he may never get the championship he deserves....

[CanadianHalo]

Man...

I think the fat man actually gets another free pass this year with this dog sh*t lineup he has to work with

[ettin]

the thing is that the FO and Arte actually think they have a chance. Why else would you trade a young reliever for a 33yo 3bman?

they actually think we are going to be able to compete.

That's so cute.

We will compete just not well enough to win the total number of games required to capture a Wild Card spot.

[bloodbrother]

I mean, I guess the Angels plan this offseason is to just throw as much shit at the wall and see what sticks at LF and 2B. As far as the bullpen, IDK what they are doing there

[Angel Oracle]

Arte Moreno = Jimmy Bob Buss.

[Jay]

Kind of hilarious actually, the amount of time and energy spent on this board speculating about outfielders.

[bloodbrother]

Thanks to Trout, they'll compete to finish just north of .500. Without Trout, they'd be one of the 3 worst teams in the AL this season

[The_Outrunner]

I'm so frustrated with this team, I just want to flip a couch and punch a hole in the drywall

[Redondo]

This thread has ruined my day.  

 

+1

 

Ugh, Been waiting for news like a kid, checking on here many times per day just to find out we are doing nothing

 

Could it be reverse mojo for Arte? We scoop in and sign one of the guys in secret?

[tdawg87]

So next offseason we're going to be left with the exact same holes in left, third, and second. And the rotation. And the bullpen. But thankfully it's a deep FA class so there's plenty of guys to fill the oh wait no there aren't.

[NrM]

This might be the worst organization in baseball tbh.

 

Mike Trout fell into their lap. The best player in ****ing baseball. 

They had all the resources in the world to build a competent roster around him, and completely shit the bed. 

[Broad Street]

It's hard to go after the big FA OUTFIELDERS when you need that first round pick. You save your pick by getting Cespedes, but is he worth that pick? I don't think so. Outside of Heyward, I don't think any of them are. Doesn't mean I'm happy with the current platoon, just being realistic.

[Angel Oracle]

4th place in 2016 and 2017

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Happy Festuvis everyone.

Arte has planted the pole firmly in CF.

[laagamer]

Holy shit ****ing dammit shit **** crap bullshit mother****ing ****

 

 

Hoist up the ****ing flag. We're screwed. 

[laagamer]

I'm confused. What the hell are the Angels doing?

 

Shitting the ****ing bed per usual 

[southpaw]

And looks like Kim signed with Orioles. Lol

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Kind of hilarious actually, the amount of time and energy spent on this board speculating about outfielders.

Glad I signed off on September. Didn't waste any time worrying about who they were going to sign.

This team is consistent in one thing, letting me down every year. It's hard enough to stay enthusiastic from mar-Sep.

[OregonLAA]

This better be a crock of shit. I'm on hold waiting for MLBXM so I can bitch. I feel like a dork

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

What channel is that? Id like to hear that?

I hope another article about Eppler and Scioscia spooning comes out soon.  Those make it all better.
