We are wasting away Tommy La Stella's prime years

[Rico]

He needs help.  Build around Tommy!

[Angelsjunky]

Trade him for young pitching.

[Slegnaac]

He is going to sign with Philly when his contract is up.

[Stradling]

10 out of 10, would read again.  

[UndertheHalo]

Honestly, it’s just disrespectful of the sport. 

[T.G.]

This is a beautiful thread.

[John Taylor]

This team is basically La Stella and a bunch of nobodies

[Claude]

He’s an east coast Jersey boy so he’s leaving anyway. 

[yk9001]

Where's his wife from?

[eligrba]

This thread has potential.

[NJHalo]

The heart and soul of this team (and this fan forum) is born and raised in New Jersey. 

[Taylor]

Arte won't extend him because yacht fuel.

But if he does, it's just because he wants to pander to fans.

The biggest surprise in baseball this season. The kid can flat out hit the ball. The FO might be tempted to trade him  ... but lets not

No. He’s been pretty solid and a pleasant surprise. He’s a keeper. 

[PattyD22]

I hope he doesn’t get Mark Trumbo syndrome.  That’s where they invite you to hit in the Home Run Derby, then lose the ability to hit your ass with both hands.

then they get rid of you.

save Tommy from this.

[Tank]

time for an extension. 7 yrs./ 210 mil.

[Taylor]

Tommy La Stella > Bryce Harper

[Billy_Ball]

If you're going to spend $400 million on a player, you do it with La Stella.

[T.G.]

He was born in New Jersey. He's going to sign with the Yankees when he's a FA. Plus, his nickname is 3 am. That has "The City That Never Sleeps" written all over it.

If there was ever a sell high opportunity, this is it. 

[Angel Oracle]

Ninth currently in AL OPS (.920)

I'm tempted to keep him, but also know that they have Rengifo, Simba, and Fletcher for the INF already, which only leaves 1B.

Maybe see if they can parlay his 2019 season into someone's solid young pitching prospect (throwing in one of the Halos' lower top 10 prospects, along with Stella)?

The first AL All-Star voting update has been released and two Angels are the top vote getters at their positions, Mike Trout and Tommy La Stella.
