Best news all winter.  I have zero tolerance/respect for any male who strikes a woman.  The Callaspo situation was annoying enough and the accounts of that one were kinda funny...

It feels like Minasian is now winding down the off-season for the Angels. His targets have grown increasingly smaller as time has progressed, so I don't think they're in on Odorizzi or any major trade target. 

If I had to guess, I'd say this is the rotation and bullpen they head into ST with. 

Has payroll increased over last year? It feels like it's largely the same.

But we have been linked to Colome, Rosenthal and Osuna.  Even though Colome has signed and Fletcher says we aren't in on Osuna, the fact that we are in on all three, you have to assume we have our eyes on adding at least one more high caliber arm for the pen.

So you don't believe Fletch?

If we're not going to open up the pocketbook for Rosenthal, there are some good relievers out there still.

It's funny to me that some people like to predict what's going to happen or not happen all the time.  All. The. Time.  If you throw enough crap against the wall, eventually something is going to stick.

Different strokes and all that, I guess.

Minasian has made it clear that he's always looking to improve the ball club.

So you don't believe Fletch?

I misspoke.  Should have said "since we have been in on at least two of those guys".

[T.G.]

Blake Parker is 36?  Wow. I had no idea.

[T.G.]

A ton of one year deals on that list above.

MT is against the signing and she has heard nothing about the rumors.

Dodgers have lost McGee, Pederson and Kiki and could possibly lose Turner (I think they will resign him) and yet they are still the best team in the league.

They have the money mostly from selling Dodger Dogs

sometimes, like right now, I feel like the IQ of the website has taken a serious hit lately.

I am been pushing for Petit and I'm curious to see where  and how much he gets.

I am ok with the mediocre moves on the rotation.  However he should have gotten one more backend reliever.

How would you feel about Greene or Melancon?
