Good night sweet prince

He has a live arm? How did the Angels miss this.

[DMVol]

I know some disagree, but it was time to move on. Good luck to him.

[AngelStew43]

Rodriguez has a big arm.  There are plenty of pieces of dead wood on our roster that I would've gotten rid of before him. 

[T.G.]

Damn. The dream is over.

He hasn’t played in 2 and a half years and had another setback in his recovery a month ago that has him unable to throw a baseball.  Not worth using a 40 man spot on anymore

"Jeremiah 29:11

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

 

Apparently, the Lord didn't have those "not to harm you" plans for C-Rod over the last several years...

Not my point.  My point is that there are players currently on the roster, like Rosenberg and Fletcher, that we could've used to clear roster space.

In the proper context, that doesn't mean he wouldn't have trials along the way.

"Dodgers".

I was making a joke.

[wopphil]

Sad, I feel bad for the kid. Few things are worse than wasted potential, especially his degree of it.

Haha, this guy finds meaning and motivation in a biblical passage. What a dumbass! Right guys?

I wonder if he's familiar with the book of Two Corinthians.

[Angels 1961]

This opens up spot for Giolito at 6 years 165 mill or a return of Tepera.

[BTH]

I just wonder why they put him on waivers now?

Like why didn’t they do it when they dumped that group of 6 other players with Walsh, Barría, etc.

[Stradling]

Looks like MAGA needs attention again. 

[Angels 1961]

How about those DUCKS

Because he had another set back?

My post was sarcasm. In case it wasn’t obvious enough.

Chris Rodriguez was one of my favorite guys to watch, and I found @jsnpritchett’s “””””joke””””” distasteful. Just my opinion, sorry if that bothers you

Uh oh. I got a dummy face emoji. My evening has been ruined!

I find it amusing that you're triggered by a harmless joke that wasn't making fun of his religion. I thought it was funny that of all the thousands of verses he could have picked, he picked one that is kind of ironic given his injury history. Stop being so soft.
