I'd rather have re-signed Cobb or spent that money of Iglesias..... Maybe Arte is ready to spend!

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

The Mets are really going to land him aren’t they…

[CanadianHalo]

What an absolute waste of 7 million. If Arte isn’t willing to blow by the tax line then this isn’t a good sign of things to come 

[Angels 1961]

I like Lorenzen signing. He will surprise people, 2 way player.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Well I guess it’s safe to say it’s a bad pickup if this dude likes it. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

So Dogs maybe loose Mad Max and Kershaw this off season......... Hey they got Bauer!

With a Ray or Stroman signing and resign Raisel not bad off season.

[Dtwncbad]

Bottom line is my top three are Max, Ray and Stroman and they are all still available with a number of other teams probably not still in on them after signing others.

[Second Base]

Love the Lorenzen signing. Big upside in the rotation, and if that doesn't workout, he has elite reliever stuff. Also operates as a 4th OF, defensive replacement late in games and can pinch run. 

Gives the Angels a ton of versatility in roster construction and it's only cost 7 million.

Do people really think that rotation gets this team to the playoffs?

? Sure why not.

That's a pretty good rotation man.  Sandoval and Suarez would make a pretty good SP4/SP5 combo.  Lorenzen is a big question mark, but if he isn't good or doesn't pan out, they can easily pivot.  We'd have Canning, Detmers, etc as depth in the minors, ready to step in as needed.

The key thing will be whether they secure another top option to go with Ohtani and Syndergaard.

He is a guy.
