The Angels should skip the formalities and get him on an enriched platelets program now before they even ask him to pitch off a mound.

They better also make sure he has his arm screwed on tight before placing him on the active roster.

 

[Inside Pitch]

He's been giving up more HRs of late -- so, he's already pitching like a current Angels SP... 

[fan_since79]

I'll take the 2014 version of Fister.

16-6, 2.41 ERA

Of course, being the Angels, we probably won't get anything close to that.

Nothing wrong with depth. A month from now who knows what the rotation is going to look like.

I picture the scene like this:

Eppler sits down in Arte's office.

"Arte, we're almost contending and we just need a little pitching.  Its hard to say if or when Richards is returning. The time to act is now.  How much can you give me to work with?"

"Billy, I can give you, say, 20 for a pitcher"

"Arte, I promise for 20 million I can find a good pitcher and put us over the top!"

"20 million Billy?  You don't understand" Arte gets out his  wallet and lays a 20 on the table......

The dumpster diving continues.

 

Totally. I mean, look at all those all star starters just waiting for someone to come along and snap them up. It's crazy all the talent out there unused right now.

How long did it take for you to think this up,.......oh, never mind.

We could have a certification program for new posters, some of them need a lot of help.

This is the picture I get:

Record setting mountainteer 

Big game hunter

7 digit income

Lives in Alaska

Predicted (in 2014/15?) Trout would never hit .300 again and should be traded while the Angels could get something for him.

Full of crap.

I'd take 2015 (4.19 ERA)....

[Ray McKigney]

I think this is a good acquisition. 

[Brandon]

who's ready to get fisted?

[Brandon]

side note, if he tears it up, does this mean they start selling those dumbass huge hulk fists at the stadium?

Was Tim Lincecum not available??

No, the better question is....Mark Mulder wasn't ready for a 2nd comeback?

[JAHV76]

Why a major league contract? Clearly other teams didn't sign him immediately before the season started so why not sign him to a minor league contract?

That was close but it should read Fister Pujols and Pounders.

Fister helps with depth.

Other thread it was all about girth.  So fat AND long?

Either Eppler is ineffective or his hands are tied. I don't believe he's ineffective.

He's had 18 months

Pretty sure that Billy had to beg Arte for additional money.

Yep. Arms tend to go fast around here.

Pitching for the Angels can be hazardous to one's health.

 

[Ohtaniland]

Pending a physical.

Maybe Chuck can do a poll (no pun intended) to see which way sounds better

[Slegnaac]

Finally the piece we needed to fill out our 6 man rotation.

Does this mean that Grateral gets waived again, then reaquired in the next 30 days?
