Robles added a change, reduced his usage of the FB...  Those changes drove the results.

I can't believe that list. Look at the Nationals. With Scherzer Strasburg and Corbin. They just won the title too and they are projected to be worse than the angels. I get it Trout and Rendon..great players for certain. But be honest as things stand right now would you bet your house on that projection?

and by right now I mean, no catcher and no real bullpen. Either it's a typo or somebody is smoking crack over at fangraphs

All we need to do is trade Addell, Trout and Ohtani for Happ and we'll be good.

Get it done,  Eppy!

May as well just bring back Kole on a one year deal.

Undertaker was solid enough in 2018 too over 36 innings (2.97 ERA and 1.22 WHIP).

As for Diaz, maybe he's one of those guys who has trouble adapting to change?   Relievers are odd ducks.

The last 4 words of your post are gold.

That they are

I never said that. I said to take him for free. As a salary dump. I have no doubt that if he starts this year that he'll do better than One of Bundy, Teheran, Sandoval, or Heaney. If you think that bunch is gonna get you to the playoffs you're delusional.

the good thing about happ is he takes the ball every 5th day and he did it in Toronto too.

So with Happ we’re a playoff team? Okay.

Only and imbecile wouldn't take his $17 million for free.

[Lou]

Trout was 13 years old

All for the low price of $34 mil over two seasons (if his 2021 27 starts/165 innings vesting option kicks in)...we can start printing playoff tickets

[Stradling]

I just want to know who this dude is because I’m 90% sure it is Calscuf or some other dude.
