The one year the Angels figure to be picking top 5, MLB decides to mess with the draft order. Perfect.

The Angels currently have the 10th-worst record in MLB.

I don't care if we win, I just don't want to drop.

Rangers could pass the Angels tonight on the way to the bottom.

8-game winning streak incoming.

Yeah I was being facetious. But there always hope.

during the last ten years the angels always go on a winning streak of sorts to fuck themselves in the draft. it will happen again. it already has.

I'm fine with them winning at this point.  

picks 6-12 are virtually the same and we still have a shot at a better pick.  

Not sure if there's momentum for next year but I like seeing the young guys succeed at least.

Momentum doesn't mean shit when you have 5 months off. It is the most bullshit idea in baseball that finishing strong the last month while still landing in the bottom third has any carryover effect.

I don’t think it does for a team, but it certainly means something for individuals. Players learn and if a player has success doing X over the last month of the season, he has a better idea of how to be successful in the next season.

Going into winter meetings will Angel's be active or just small pieces? I think bullpen is set and top 4 in rotation set. With change of ownership, you see any big splashes for offense?

Since the winter meetings are in 3 months, ask me in about 3 months.

Teout bounces back from his "he might need to retire because his back is broken". Rumors that Rendon might come back. 

It's what we do.

Is it true Angels will be looking at players with law degrees? New two-way player.
