You honestly care what they’re doing as a team? You’re an idiot 

I was being sarcastic. I know better than that.

Say what you want about Albert and the value of RBIs but being 2 RBIs shy of Babe Ruth is hella impressive.

The sad thing is, I'm not sure if you are exaggerating or if you actually did the math and this is the correct number.

Bruin.

It seems the Giants may have won this trade just by getting rid of this guy

Go spin rate your way out of here!

He’s not our #2 prospect now.  

Did i say he was?

[Vlad27Trout27]

We're talking about prospects, the number 7 prospect Kyle Tucker is hitting .109. he not alone, there are a few others on the top 100 that are struggling.

[popo85]

Point is from the Big to the Minors as pointed out earlier its been a struggle so far

Jones struggled last year as well though

We still love Eppler, bye troll. 

What's not to love right with all his new free agent bats yet again failing miserably and a rotation featuring Chris Stratton and  the 11 million dollar dumpster fire that is Matt Harvey

And enough with the troll talk assholery, I've been on this site since it was an idea on an ESPN message board. I think this team is a train wreck. You don't and it realllly upsets you that people do. This discussion is the reason a message board even exists.

have we scored yet? 

[JarsOfClay]

That great farm has yet to produce a single major leaguer.

what you think of the Cronin hire?

[GrittyVeterans]

Seriously, how much garbage does Eppler have to acquire before people start to realize that he perhaps doesn’t have a great idea on what talent needs to be brought in?

Far from contending

David Fletcher is a major leaguer.  Barria is even tho they weirdly didnt treat him as such to start the year.

No I just think you’re an idiot.   Yes discussion is why it exists it doesn’t exist for you to come in once a month, take a shit and leave.   So you took your shit, leave.  See you next month when you want to be a bitch again.

That great farm takes time to build, especially when you are drafting high school guys.

I just can't quit you, you're the reason I keep coming back for more.  

[GrittyVeterans]

You’re a bitch and an idiot if you don’t love Eppler

lolz

[UndertheHalo]

Jahmai Jones is the significant Angels prospect that I have the most doubt on.  I’m suspicious when terms like “make up” and “character” are referenced more then actual baseball skills.  Which with him, there’s a lot of.  Also, in the batters box he really has been pretty uninspiring in the minors.  He’s young for his league and he’s young altogether.  But he needs to show some life with the bat this year or I suspect his stock is going to fall dramatically.  He’s already off all the top 100 lists.

No that’s not why he’s a bitch or an idiot.   One does not mean the other.

I know you weren't asking me but as someone who follows CBB more obsessively than even the Angels the Cronin hire was such a fantastic move they basically fell into after a disastrous coaching search...UCLA never hurt for talent but they haven't had toughness or discipline and Cronin will sure as hell bring that to the table and get the most out of his recruits.  Plus he's incredibly entertaining to watch on the sidelines so that's always fun
