By the numbers:

Bundy has been a #4, #2, #1. Settling closer to a #1/#2.

Heaney has been a #1, #4, #2. Settling closer to #2/#3.

Quintana has been a #3, #2. Settling closer to a #2.

Canning has been a #4, #3. Settling closer to a #3.

I appreciate what you are saying and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.  

I think if you add floor, ceiling and potential for injury to this then you bring in another element

Bundy - floor #4, ceiling #1/2 (but not an ace).  Low prob for injury (missing less than 5 starts)

Heaney - floor #4, ceiling #2, intermediate to high prob for injury (missing 10+ starts.  up to a whole season)

Quintana - floor #4, ceiling #2, low prob for injury (missing less than 5 starts)

Canning - floor #4, ceiling #1 (but not an ace), intermediate to high prob for injury.  

Barria - floor #5, ceiling #3.  low prob for injury

Sandoval - floor #6/pen, ceiling #2.  low to intermediate prob for injury.  

Ohtani - floor #3, ceiling Ace.  High prob for injury.

Speaking of Barria, he's been doing really well in the Dominican League, but now he'll be representing Panama. 

In his five games with Tigres De Licey during the LIDOM winter league season he posted a 1.89 ERA, 5GS, 19IP, 18H, 6BB, 16K line.

Hope it's not too much longer before the team officially announces the signing.

Yeah, I'm not sure why it's taking so long. They have 40-man roster space, so that shouldn't be the issue.

It's possible there could be an issue with the physical, or they may just be hashing some technicalities in the deal out. Or, perhaps Quintana's a bit delayed in getting to Anaheim for a physical.

He missed the all-star game because he was put on the IL due to a little blister. 

Wuss.

Making all four #2’s-3’s if pitching at least 150 innings each?

Pretty much. That’s a big if, but on paper the rotation is much better than people make it out to be.

I like that. Respect.

Which would be better than anything we've had since, oh I don't know, probably 2014, maybe even 2011 without looking deeper. 

So many here complain about us having a rotation of #3 and #4s, but that hasn't been accurate for some time. We've had guys who were maybe expected to be #3-types, or who were or could be #3-types, but I don't think we've had more than one or two guys in a rotation at any given time doing that. 

Everyone else has been hurt or worse. Like, AAAA worse.

Sounds like he appreciates being here.

I like that good attitude.

Hopefully he can have a solid season for us.

[T.G.]

It's all hugs and kisses until he has that first bad inning and then AW will turn on him like a jackal.

Inning? Don't be ridiculous.

We'll turn on him when he walks a guy.

I think I read somewhere he really wanted to play for Maddon too. He probably could have made more money pitching elsewhere, but he wanted to be on the Angels.
