Take what you can get, and bank the payroll savings.

Sure on expiring contracts, but not on guys like Ward and Sandoval.  No reason to sell low unless you care about Arte’s wallet.

Trout steals 30

 

[Angels 1961]

In September on Ron Washington bobblehead day everyone with AARP card get 10% off on tickets.

[Taylor]

The Angels get off to an unexpectedly hot start, someone makes a thread about it, the Angels immediately collapse.

[Adam]

Going to be a super painful season

[Chuck]

Miguel Sano hits more HR than JD Martinez

[Angels 1961]

Anthony Rendon plays both games in doubleheader.

[Angels 1961]

Arte spends like crazy at trade deadline and Angels go over lux tax.

Not sure what constitutes "bold," but here goes.

Logan O'Hoppe hits 30 HR.

Zach Neto makes the All-Star game.

Four starters win 10+ games, three with sub 4.00 ERAs, and five with 2 WAR or better (but none with 4 WAR).

Nolan Schanuel has a .400 OBP and walks more than he strikes out.

Anthony Rendon plays 100 games. Almost; 90ish sounds more likely.

Mike Trout plays 130 games. Almost. I'll predict 129.

Jose Soriano is the best reliever in the pen.

Moniak and Adell are both good enough to earn significant playing time, but neither good enough to win a starting job outright. 

[Torridd]

Detmers clicks and wins 16 games.

Well he won 4 last year, and 16 + 4 = 20. So maybe his bold prediction of winning 20 games last year was really meant for the next two years.

[Stradling]

Rengifo, Trout, Neto, Moniak, Schanuel will all have 15 home runs and 15 stolen bases. Drury, Adell, Hicks and O’Hoppe will have at least 15 home runs each.

We make the playoffs and Mike hits for 50 homers

The Angels play meaningful baseball in August and September.    

They will be relatively healthy all year meaning that the starters will average 140 games each.  

It will be announced mid season that Arte is selling the team

Trout will start slow and everyone will freak out that he's done.  'Someone' will write an article comparing him to Albert.  Then he'll catch fire and propel the team into contention 

Rendon will hit a walk off hr on the last day of the season to clinch a WC spot after being clutch all year.  He'll subsequently retire after the season and people will wish that he wouldn't have.  

They will draft a pitcher in July who will make a start for the big club in Sept.  

Matt Thaiss will hit 20hrs and will get a bunch of DH at bats.  

Davis Daniel will be awesome out of the pen - mostly as a long man with a few spot starts. 

Jadiel Sanchez will soar up our prospect charts and crack the top 50.  

Mike Stefanic will have a really solid season over about 250 PA coming off the bench and hit .320.

Adell is second on the team in homers with 32.
