unfuckingbelievable that we got him.

 

He ran a .404 OBP vs RHP and a .433 OBP vs LHP in 2020. Put him in front of Mike and Ohtani behind him and man that is a productive 1-2-3 or 2-3-4. Not to mention whatever else we add (a good 1B would add even more firepower which I expect to happen unless they really believe in Walsh, who has promise himself).

that f'n defense with Rendon, Simmons, Fletcher, Trout, and if we get Maldo with Adell and Marsh joining?  Holy balls.

And no, this isn’t the singular piece to make them a WS contender. But we’re way closer to contention now than we were last night. The Angels had to do this, I don’t give a fuck about the price. We’ve experienced too many losing hopeless seasons to cry about overpaying by 3 million per year

This ^^

Our infield defense is top notch! Top 5 in baseball easy.

Getting Rendon allows us to be content with a poor hitting catcher. Truly a game changer 

 

And yeah @Stradling I bet you never thought you’d hear this out of me but I’m now fine bringing maldo back

Overpay but such is the market. Angels now have the best MOTO in baseball.

Given the current offseason's bloated contracts, I don't think it is an overpay.

Rendon > Strasburg, and got the same contract.

Upton as the only liability on defense. Hell yes.

Calhoun has to be bummed

Jon Gray would be awesome. I have a feeling he would be filthy outside of Coors

Yeah that does suck for him. And knowing all the teams that want him are basically bottom dwellers.

Rendon is better, younger, and offers far less risk

[floplag]

ok up next, Kuechel, maybe add Madbum... if you cant get a good C in trade bring in Maldy and maybe take a flyer on Puig to keep RF warm till Adell/Marsh are ready.... print playoff tickets

[Mile High Dreams]

Remember when everyone cared about Arte’s money?

Yea...he'd be much better than a lot of the other options being mentioned. Plus he doesn't cost much, which will allow the Angels more flexibility to keep improving.
