Angels sign Joe Smith

[Jim]

I have a feeling Freese will spend quite a bit of time on the DL. I can then see Green playing third and Taylor Lindsey brought up to play 2nd.

This is what is shaping up to be the 2014 nightmare that nobody saw coming.

WEDNESDAY, 10:08pm: Smith's salary will be spread in even, $5.25MM annual increments across the life of the deal, tweets Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register. Smith can earn an additonal $250k annually based on games finished, which essentialy means he'd see a bump if he lands in the closer role.

I wonder what nickname Hud would have given this guy.  Not much you can do with Joe Smith.

Also there's a decent chance we hold three run leads to three run leads with a better bullpen rather than see it always be a one run lead by the time it gets to the ninth. Also allows us to battle back into games if the pen does their job more often.

 

this is what I'm looking forward to. A pen that can actually hold a lead.

I'm trying to figure out how the Angels make money off of this.  How big a cut does Moreno get when these guys do their Old Spice commercials? 

Duh! Gun ads of course!

Yeah I get frustrated with those mechanical pencils too....

How about "The Prophet"?   I mean, the guy only founded the Church of Latter Day Saints and is viewed as a prophet on the level of Moses for Mormons...

[Angel Oracle]

Still need one bullpen mentor added.

The Beard?
