This is not fair

[Angelsjunky]

This fucking team:

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they win 120+ games. I'm not sure I've ever seen such a stacked team.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Gonsolin can't even crack that rotation. Crazy amount of depth.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Yeah...pending an epic choke job or some major injuries; I think they'll coast to a repeat. That team is fucking deep. 

[Drink More Yakult]

All they needed to do was spend 20% more than the 2nd highest payroll in baseball.

Hopefully Magic gives all of them AIDS

F'ing Arte

[TooCool]

They are insanely stacked. Definitely not fair. It also doesn't help that when they play the games (like against the Padres for example) and then their opponents are as un-clutch as ever. Just basically throwing away games and giving it away.

The Angels did start 13-3 in 2018.

You're reading into what I wrote. I was being facetious and mostly just pointing out how good they are. It isn't only because they spent a lot, but because they spent well - and have a great international and farm development system.

And they have 11 times as many scouts as the Angels.

Bellinger out

This is what happens when you give a guy who built a perennial contender in Tampa with one of the lowest payrolls in baseball access to lots of money - he has built an incredible team, from top to bottom, in LA.

I see a lot of fans who are envious of this, but personally, I would instead look at them and see what we can learn about team-building and how to emulate the strategy they have.  This is why I think it's a positive development that we have poached some members of their staff, as well as Tamin, who helped play a significant role in building that team, too.

[Angels 1961]

The Angels are the reason why MLB has a draft.

Stacked team......adds bauer lol
