Petit has been solid for A's and in 2017 was Angel pitcher of the year. @.25 mill for him is a steal.

2.25 mill

Maybe our pitching market has been stagnant bc we currently don’t have a pitching coach LOL 

[AngelStew43]

I just want to put out there that some of these players signing these late deals will be FA again at the end of ST, because they will not have made their clubs.  

At that point, it will be a buyers market, maybe that is what Minasian is waiting for.  

We got a good season, and Packy Naughton, for Brian Goodwin doing just that.

That sounds dark. Like somebody made a dad joke about valentines day, and was told to leave the room.

The serious talks paid off...

 

[Second Base]

So much MLB activity, and none of it involves the Angels. Jerry Dipoto was a punk B, but at least he was entertaining. 

Oh well, I would rather have a boring winter and exciting fall than the other way around.

Everyone was right. Cohen really spent big in free agency.

Saving money for Odorizzi and Jeffress

Has anyone mentioned that Matt Harvey signed a minor league deal with Baltimore?

Really hoping the Angels make an offer to Trevor Rosenthal. Dude can hit 101mph and would be a big force in the bullpen for us. 

Hey, if the rotation is what it is then at least get us one hell of a bullpen arm. 

If the Angels don't sign him then I pray the only reason why is because he wanted too much money.

I think they'll sign Rosenthal. They've said they planned on increasing payroll and as it stands now, they appear to be right where they were before. It's unlikely they'll sign Odorizzi to displace Heaney or Canning as well as potential lose Barria. 

That leaves Rosenthal. He's probably been holding out for a lucrative multi-year deal where he closes out games for a contender. That was probably going to be with the Padres, but in b the last week, it appears they moved on and instead are allocating those resources towards Melancon and Kela. 

The Angels don't have Iglesias past this year unless they extend him. I think they'll offer Rosenthal a contract similar to what Trevor May got from the Mets, 2/15.

If you had to choose would you take Rosenthal for two years and $15 million or Odorizzi for 3 years and $30 million?

I’ll take the closer in that scenario. While relievers production is volatile it takes a certain type of individual to close out games.

I don't think Odorizzi is going to get 3 years at this point, unless it's from the Mets....But, given those choices, I'd probably go with Rosenthal....he potentially is the final piece to what could be a really strong bullpen....

Rosenthal
Its a tough one at those numbers, but i do not think Odorizzi will be better for us than he was for the Twins.  Being the best option available doesnt change the numbers.  At this point i actually think i would prefer Walker to him unless he slips way down cost wise.

[GoodTimesGoneBad]

Odorizzi. If the SP gives up too many runs you’ll never need the closer. Plus with MLB deadening the ball, Odorizzi could be comeback player of the year. 

[m0nkey]

 

Yes!

I hope so too. I didn't hear them saying payroll was going up only that it wasn't going down. 

Either way if the Angels are set on their rotation, which is mediocre, then adding another bullpen arm should be a priority.
