Making a thread to cheer on the teams dope ass spreadsheets is some extremely 2019 bullshit.  
 

luv, luv luv when my favorite team doesn’t get the best players.

I absolutely wanted him and I would have been happy if we got him for the price the Yankees got him for.  That being said I completely understand there has to be a limit.  He is worth that he is about to get paid, sure for the first 5 or so years I have no doubt he is worth it.  After that it is anyone's guess.  Also since it is a pitcher he is one injury away from being a $300 mistake.  I simply hope they make good decisions going forward and the best decision they can make is Rendon because he will earn his contract, the stars usually do (Albert agrees).

Lol wait till our Reddit pal see what Rendon gets paid.  If it’s not us doing the paying he might just hire a taco man and have a Reddit party for all the fella’s.

[UndertheHalo]

A taco man sounds good as hell tbh. @Chuckster70 I’d be willing to contribute to this.

Anthony Rendon is Adrian Beltre come again.  Do not fuck this up Arte/Eppler.

If this is true we might have no shot.  Rangers would be the best option for him.

[SoWhat]

Uh, what does Rendon not wanting to play with Harper have to do with the Angels?

They definitely can't let Rendon go to the Rangers.

We are now known as the "just south of" LA Angels

Are you nuts?  Trout isn't Harper.  Trout never tries to overshadow anyone.  What a stupid comparison.

He may not want to play with Harper, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t want to play with Trout, who is one of the most humble superstars and doesn’t really crave the attention like Harper does.

[Angel Oracle]

I can't see Rendon wanting to be a teammate of Odor.

If he doesn’t want to be overshadowed by another star player, he’s not going to want to sign here.  I don’t think Trout will necessarily try to overshadow him, but if he wants to be THE guy on a team, it won’t happen here

[T.G.]

Rendon isn't a fan of Albert's hair flip after he grounds into a double play.

He wouldn’t have hired Boras if all he cares about is being the best player on a team. He’d essentially be ruling out a lot of teams, then. 

I also can’t imagine any player thinking that way.

[CanadianHalo]

I can’t even get excited about the possibility of signing Rendon when I know just how crappy our rotation is. 
 

God dammit

I don't think that is what he means by being overshadowed.  I think he is referring to all the baggage that Harper brought with him due to his attitude, clubhouse and so on.

Fortunately, the organization should be able think about more than one thing at a time.  Think of this as like the draft, and you're taking the best player available at this moment.  Try to get Rendon, but also work on the next steps most of which include pitchers.  Rendon also creates flexibility, he can move to first, or continue at third, after Pujols hangs it up.  We can also continue to trade extra infielders for pitching, any kind of pitching including relievers, as long as they are durable and effective.

I guess. But there were also big investments in Colon, Nibbles Wilson, and Escobar.

Neither here nor there.  We’re talking about getting the best guys available and why people would be happy about it when their favorite team doesn’t.
