How many more losses before the team makes a shake up trade?

So are the Angels still on top of Mt Stupid or are they in the Valley of Despair?

Yes

Yes

To clarify, they keep falling into the Valley of Despair but then try to escape by climbing the backside of Mt. Stupid.

I think technically it’s us AW folk that reside in the valley of despair.  Im pretty sure Mike Trout isn’t there.

He doesn't reside there but he owns several of the buildings

They need infield help. Last year, they had no production from the MINF, and then later when Rendon went down, no production from 3rd.

This year, when Rendon is giving league average production, they were winning. Tyler Wade was hitting over .300 in April and playing a lot.

He's been terrible lately, though. Just like Duffy, Mayfield, Wade, and Velazquez. Marsh and Lageres have been pretty hitting pretty poorly too. They have struggled to score runs, because 1/2 of the lineup is way below replacement level. Rengifo and Fletcher had two of the worst three OPS+ in the majors last year, and this year, all of them are back around this number. We're talking below 70 OPS+

1) Stefanic is not healthy yet as far as I know. He picked the worst time to get injured. I don't know if he'd play everyday but they should try it.

2) No one else in AAA looks to provide an immediate offensive boost.

3) Fletcher is weeks away from coming back. And is he an offensive boost?

 

I knew we should've signed a SS in free agency.

I don't know in what thread to put this opine.

The 14 game losing streak was pretty low down and atrocious, but the last two losses to the lowly Royals at home is more telling.

It's not a good team nor is it a good organization.

I was thinking they’d put Fletcher at third once he returns. Here’s hoping he can return to his best form.
