CJ Wilson, I think.

Ok so that was 7 years ago.  While I wouldn’t mind having him on a reasonable contract and the possibility of continuing to add talent to our team is exciting, I’m not sure this is anything here.

CJ Wilson?

I guess I don't have the discipline to not comment on a "RH heavy lineup."

To this day I don't see how that is actually a problem.  If you are a right handed hitter and you can't hit right handed pitching then you are probably not a major leaguer.

Right handed hitters in the majors typically can hit right handed pitching, otherwise they are probably not in the majors.

If your starting lineup is all right handed and they are decent players, the fact that they are all right handed is not a problem to solve.

If you are a lineup that is too heavily left-handed then maybe you have a problem to solve especially if your lefties are vulnerable to left handed pitching (as many are).

I just don't buy into a major league lineup being too right handed.

Even the "balance" argument makes sense to help solve a lineup that is too lefty.  A switch back and forth makes it tough for an opposing manager to want to burn a lefty and then have to come out of the game when the righty comes up.

If your lineup is all righty, it takes all their left handed relievers out of the game, leaving you with righty versus righty, and again if you are a right handed hitter that can't hit right handed pitching you are not going to be in that lineup at all or even on a roster.

So what am I missing?

Lol dude stick to flipping burgers. Why is a 2-3 year deal a overpay? 

Ok, stick to being as asshole.  As far as why is 2-3 years being an overpay, ask the entire free agent market.  Ask the Royals last year.  Ask every club why they haven’t signed him to a 2-3 year deal already.

Why don’t you just tell me and save me the time from asking

because teams don't think he's good enough to warrant a 2-3 year deal at the money he was looking for.

Things may differ this year ... but that doesn’t really answer my question concerning one year deals. 

Typically one year deals are a overpay.

Then two year deals for that same person are a huge overpay.

I also think it is pretty funny a used car sales man is making any comments for their chosen profession.

Angels were on him big time last year.  Cozart was signed to play 2b and only moved when Kinsler was available.  It wouldn't be a shocker to get moose.  Pretty much guaranteed 30 bombs at 3b

if playing for any other team. For us, probably hit 16, 17. They'll bat pocket Pujols behind him. LOL!

Moustakas produced a 2.5 WAR last season, I think. What’s his value on a one year deal?

Those are 2 completely different arguments though... is he not good enough or not worth it ?  
Frankly i think putting up a 2.5 WAR in a playoff run for 6.5 M isnt out of line in either case.

He's hit 30 HR once in his 8 year career. He's only hit 25 HRs twice. I hope the other guarantees in your life are more reliable.

We get another year of arb control of Bour even though we signed him as a FA.  

I think the only reason we'd be in on Moustakas is for a 1yr deal.  

This!

The farm will be filling in positions nicely, starting in 2020.

Speaking of filling, let me refill your kool-aid.

Edge: Moose >>>>>> Edge: Lowell 

[Jeff Fletcher]

I don’t think the Angels are going to sign Moose, but I wouldn’t rule it out. 

The funny thing is, waaaaaay more people are reading my story about something that’s probably not going to happen than the one about Griffin Canning.

I read the canning article.  Very nice!

Does that mean the team is going to start winning?
