Teams farther out of the division lead than the Angels

[Vegas Halo Fan]

AL East: None

AL Central: None (ChiSox are even)

AL West: Houston (15 GB)

 

NL East: NY Mets (11.5 GB), Miami (18 GB)

NL Central: Chi Cubs (15 GB), Milwaukee (15 GB)

NL West: None

 

That's some stellar company.

Doesn't mean crap, what's our team WAR?

[SmallSampleSize]

You need to look at the positives to present a balanced view.

 

We're also in 4th place, no different than teams like the Cubs and Mets who have...a long...history.

 

Also, the Doyers are in 5th place, so we're technically the KINGS of Los Angeles right now.

 

Eat it Dog fans!

Since Dipoto took over in 2011 as the GM, 13 other MLB teams have improved in the standings with a lot less funding to work with.

^^dipoto is a horrible GM...just horrible. people like him should never be given so much money.

What has he done that was so awful? And I would like to know what players you would have signed?

Disagree.

It was going to take time to clean up the Scioscia/Reagins disaster. IMO the Albert Pujols and Nightmare Child mistakes were all Arte.

The Washington Generals.

He brought in these guys just to name a few. This team is worse than the team he took over.

Trout, Trumbo, Aybar, Kendrick, Bourjos, Conger, Weaver and Callaspo (the core of the team) have nothing to do with Dipoto. 

 

Hamilton

Pujols

Burnett

Madson

Hanson

Hawpe

Iannetta

Harris

Buckner

De La Rosa

Blanton

Shuck

Lowe

 

Let's not forget that he was about an hour away from acquiring Carlos Marmol.

11th in the AL in pitching WAR

7th in offensive WAR.

 

 

useless stat, tho.   its only more accurate to win-loss record than the pythagorean.

Everyone here jumped for joy over Hamilton and Pujols. Give me a break

Burnett was a solid pitcher the last two years and when he has pitched with us he has pitched well. He has never been an injury prone player

Madson was a low risk high reward guy. Making not a lot of money. No big deal there

Hawpe, Lowe, Buckner, De La Rosa, Shuck and Harris were for depth. They weren't expected to contribute. Some of them have. And some of them have helped at times

Blanton was a terrible signing but has actually been pitching quite well lately

I don't see what was wrong with Ianetta

So nothing to complain about with that group. And still no list of who should have been signed

[YouthofToday]

Didn't Dipoto sign Aybar and Kendrick to club-friendly extensions?

[Tank]

Charlie browns little league team.
