Approximately 55% of the Payroll is not healthy.  No organization can succeed at this level of handicap.

err 57% of the payroll is injured.   Or in Blarg terms, this means that the Angels are simply "hobbled" by injuries, but the more pertinent point is that the coaching staff has not got the most out of the injured players.

Ohtani just got injured today.  They're 61-67, so it's stupid to throw out that $130M number as if it means anything at this point.  Who gives a shit if Ohtani doesn't pitch again this season? If he did, maybe the Angels would go 14-20 in their remaining games instead of 13-21...

It's been a terrible year for the Angels in terms of both injuries and performance--but it's disingenuous to add Ohtani's salary to the IL total and try to make any meaningful point with it.

Just reporting the facts maam.  No matter how inconvenient they may be to you.

Lol.  Has nothing to do with being inconvenient. It's just meaningless. What point are you trying to make by including Ohtani's salary here? His current injury has had zero impact on their 61-67 record up to this point.

Actually the consistent and multi game injuries to the Angel regulars have everything to do with the 61-67 record.  Anyone who is a injury denier can't be a serious contributor.  I hope this doesn't include you.

You completely avoided my question of what point you're trying to make by including Ohtani's salary here.

The point is in the thread title.  Just reporting the latest news, similar to you posing the latest line ups for the day.

There is nothing remotely similar between the two. Yours is clickbait.

There was another thread someone started that claimed the Yankees had more payroll tied up in players on the IL but it ignored that Judge being on the IL isn't the same impact as the Angels having 16 players on the IL.

In fact one member claimed Judge's 10 war was more valuable than Trout on the IL. Until I pointed out Judge was only worth 2.9 war this season.

Anyway, it was a dumb article based on salary not player depth.
