Lmao.

Angels baseball is an algorithm

Wonderful wonderful.......

Mejia sucks, really hope we don’t start him.

[bloodbrother]

Just can't rely on Heaney at this point with all these constant elbow/shoulder issues. IDK how Eppler does it, but man does he have to perform a complete overhaul of the rotation this offseason.

[yamsi12]

Think Jered Weaver would come out of retirement? 

[totdprods]

Christ.

We're sellers!

What else do they have though? Team's got nothing and there's not good pitchers on the waiver wire out there. They're screwed

[UndertheHalo]

Just park Barria and Suarez in the rotation and let them take their lumps.  Whatever.  

[totdprods]

Pena, Mejia, Canning, Barria, and Suarez is the current rotation? 

Hm.

Don't have much of a choice but I'm for it. Pitching in the PCL won't do them any favors anyway

[UndertheHalo]

Whatever happened to Tropeano after that start they gave him.  Or bulk start, whatever the fu** it was.

I actually thought Richards/Heaney/Skaggs/Tropeano was a rotation that could be relied on to be a consistent contender. In 30+ years of watching baseball, it is the single dumbest opinion I have ever had.

7 ERA and 1.5 WHIP in AAA. I don't think they are counting on him to be part of the MLB club's future.

Don’t feel too bad.  I was all for the Angels signing Harvey.  Probably the biggest cheer leader on the board for it.  Like in September I was talking about it.  Lol.  RiP

It's time to move on from Heaney.  I feel bad because he's a super cool guy, but he just can't be counted on.

The Angels need a minimum of 3 quality starters this offseason. and 4 would be preferable

He's still arbitration eligible for two more seasons. Do you think there is any chance he can give the Angels their money's worth? It certainly won't be a high figure.

It's possible. But relying on him to be more than a 5th/6th starter has been a problem for this team. Definitely not the main problem. 

He's barely pitched 3 out of the last 4 years
