The Marlins should be contracted

VALIDATION!

[gotbeer]

So our farm system improved from last to tied to last.  Progress!!!

[QuinlansMinion]

At least were going all in to win a championship.

Oh wait, no we arent.

[Stradling]

We need a great draft this year.

How is Florida's farm system so bad.  Don't they trade all their good players for prospects?

[nando714]

This is news?

That was a long time ago. If it hasn't happened in the last 2-3 years then it probably no longer impacts the farm.

[zenmaster]

On the plus side we can only move up.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

We may have sole possession of last place once Eppy trades Taylor Ward for ARod here soon.

[eligrba]

Sweet!!

 

PROGRESS!!!

What the Dodgers have done is just brilliant.

Instead of how the Yankees shelled out stupid money for mercenaries that never gelled, the Dodgers shell out money to take on bloated contracts BUT require top young talent coming along with it.

It's so smart.

Plus they have such a serious presence in high end international signings.

What a great way to use their deep pockets.

They are going to be legit for a long time.

As much as it pains me, very good points. I totally agree.

It could be worse, we could have the worst farm system AND a terrible major league team like the Marlins.

[Angelsjunky]

The Marlins are like the worst of the Angels and Phillies combined.

[bloodbrother]

Whoa, they're actually tied with somebody else for having a shitty farm? That's an improvement!

[Docwaukee]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the only reason we are tied is because we have in common with the marlins a lack of top 100 prospects.  

 

We still have the worst farm system, and it's not even close.  Some have called it the worst farm system they have ever seen.  

[Jason]

This makes me look forward to Angel's baseball for years to come.

[bloodbrother]

Mediocre MLB roster(mostly thanks to Trout being that good) with a high payroll and one of the worst farm systems anybody has seen in years. Eppler certainly has a monumental challenge on his hands

[Angel Oracle]

Thank you Arte

Would we be 29th if the simmons trade wasnt made? Just asking if newcomb is in the top 100

At any rate, this is one of those things that reflects pretty poorly on dipo

We'd be like 5th at worst without that trade!!
