of course, but priorities matter.    as said i may be off base but im just have no interest based on one good year when the 3 prior were not in line with that

Would you prefer 3 previous good years and last year pitching 60 innings because of injuries?

Right. I didn't phrase that very well. Did Madbum get more or less than expected?

The options are quickly dwindling, and we still need 2 arms. Keuchel is a must. Teheran is still available too. But that would make for a less than impressive rotation.

Teheran is someone I’ve always been high on. If you can get him for a good price you do it in a heartbeat.

That's because the Angels medical staff hasn't treated them yet.

Wait, that's not what you meant is it?

I'm starting to miss the good ol' days.  you know, when we signed Rendon 

[jchalos89 94]

Good. He's been posting 5+ERA away from Oracle for past 2 seasons and I didn't want Angels to give him 4+yrs nor $15M+ per year.

I think he got less.  At least according to here.  If I remember posts right, they were saying he wasn't worth 5/$100 million.  He got 5/$85 with $15 deferred.  

In the end, at that price he probably would have been worth it for the Angels to sign.  He was a 200+ inning workhorse.  But that home/road split was very concerning.  And I could see why many were turned off on him.

[tdawg87 31,938]

I'm basing this on absolutely nothing, but I think it would have cost the Angels 5/100 or more to sign Bumgarner. Dude likes the NL, and he likes to hit. IMO it would have taken a significant overpay to bring him in.

Angels need pitching badly and the list of pitchers is dwindling ... yet, fans here are more worried about over paying for pitching
