Again Anderson turns it around you trade him at deadline get another young prospect. Remember you are in rebuild mode. Spending around 10 mill you could get 2 decent prospects. People after 8 LOSING SEASON halos no way going to compete this year for a playoff spot. 

Of course they can compete for a playoff spot. Health and upgrades along with young pitching pitching like they did in 2022 and they are a playoff team.

According to who? The voices in your head?

They aren’t in a rebuild and aren’t going to be with Arte at the helm.

This team isn't in a rebuild, but they should be. The roster for 24 will be pretty much the same, minus Ohtani.

So many IF"S and I'm not buying into anymore magic beans. Angel's should start rebuild around young players they have in my opinion. New direction after so many years of trying in off season to compete.

Also not a contending team for how long now. Let's try new approach.

Then feel free to go share your drivel on Twitter. They are building around young players. They are one of the younger teams in the league. 80% of the roster is 27 or younger.

You said they “are in a rebuild,” not they “should.”

Doesn’t nightingale write for USA Today? So is that Tim Anderson rumor coming from him? That’s enough for me to say it’s bullshit

and yet you want them to sign tim anderson.

[Inside Pitch]

I see some Angels fans are all excited about adding a name they recognize.

.......The ciiiiircle of liiiiiiife!

[T.G.]

I’m not in favor of signing Anderson, but if they do - I need to see what else they do. I won’t judge any move individually. I need context.

[Second Base]

I think generally speaking, I'm in favor of playing the youngsters to see if they make the adjustments and you have something of value. And then filling the holes/gaps in the roster with veterans on one year deals that you can flip at the trade deadline and replace with AAA players to close out the season. 

It saves money and rebuilds the farm system and does the quiet part out loud, which is rebuild.

You sign Giotito for 7 years at 210 mill. Anderson is low risk and let rest of off season play out. Again depends on what direction Angel's are going in.

You want the Angels to sign Lucas Giolito for $30 million per year for Seven years? Really? What did he do last year that so impressed you?

I think I'm going to need people to start taking an annual cognitive mental acuity test before their accounts can become active to post.

If you don't have to do it as president, you shouldn't need it to post.

What statement would it make?  That we aren’t serious about trying to win next year?
