I hope you are right as we are both Angel fans and tired of losing. I would like another TOR pitcher and Cobb with Detmers, Canning and Barria in reserve

I prefer the Angels limiting the innings for a quality pitcher than having Maddon limiting the innings for a shitty pitcher.

YES!!!

Reading these comments is entertaining. We all had such high hopes. Syndergaard being one piece and the next one being a Stroman type and then finally trading for Luis Castillo so that Detmers can develop in AAA. 

As usual, reality sets in. The second starter is a failed reliever with upside (Lorenzen), and there was no trade. Detmers is it. 

Had I said this at the beginning of winter, y'all would've lost it. 

Hopefully this works out.

I still wish they would've re-upped Cobb instead of go with Lorenzen, but hopefully I can get Lou'd for this and Lorenzen kills it.

I wish they had done both.

Yeah that too. Cobb had interest in an extension too.

I think the rotation should be much more stable than the previous 7 years.

At least a positive note is that the bullpen has been completely overhauled so hopefully we're less reliant on starters going deep.  As long as guys like Suarez, Lorenzen and Detmers can avoid completely imploding every outing and give us 4-5 innings the bullpen and our offense should be good enough to keep us in games.

Best case is Ohtani stays healthy again, Thor's arm doesn't fall off, and Detmers takes a step forward and becomes even a league average starter.  Lorenzen is just a dude, I have zero expectations for him.

Under this contract that Perry and co. gave him, Syndergaard has pitched 5.1 innings and has only given up 1 run in the playoffs, and is heading to the World Series.  

Thank you, Perry!
