Pretty sure that that's standard procedure. RT"@AntiGlib: Does a person need to have all their shots when venturing into the 909?

I'm looking for the "We Hate Mike Butcher" thread? Am I in the right place?

Its too bad this #Italy pitcher had surgery on his rihht arm. Seeing him do the whole "ambidextrous" thing wouldve been a treat.

I see Howie being Howie. I've seen nothing to suggest any kind of "breakout." And to be honest, you could say he already HAD a breakout season in 2011. He's a second tier catcher (borderline top shelf), and that's cool with me.

Not if @MnkysThrwngDrts beats me to him. RT"@HllywaAmber: @mike_hllywa is going to leave me for mike trout.... I'm ok with that."

Awwwwwwww, that's cute. Maybe Vernon will do his best to pass on pranks like "hot foot" while trying to avoid getting splinters in his hind quarters. -
If he didn't have "Major League Regular" upside, I'd be all for it. As a backup off the bench, he provides lefty pop which this team seriously lacks. But if his future IS behind the plate, then this last option year needs to be burned so his defense can catch up with his game calling abilities. Thanks to the arm injuries, he's only caught a total of 340 games in the minors, barely three seasons worth of what most backstops will provide, and that's over a seven year period. If he becomes the sole backup option with the Angels, he's a bust and so be it. But why not see if the team can drain any sort of trade value they can out of him if he starts to show the consistency that he is supposedly showing while on the practice field?

I thank him"@HllywaAmber: @andrew_galvan when I woke mike up this morning the first thing out of his mouth was "totes, whatevs" I BLAME YOU"

I'm new-ish to the board. I've posted here and there, but not to the extent that some of you gristled vets have. My name is Mike (duh), I blog and podcast for LA Angels Insider, I live in parts unknown (AKA Central PA), and I have the same affliction as the rest of you (For eight months out of the year I breathe baseball). Hopefully I stop lurking and post more, but if I'm not here you can find me on Twitter at @mike_hllywa. Let's get snarky.

Dear mother nature, I only get two days off a week and today's one of them. Stop screwing with my baseball plans. Mmmkay?

Reasons Why Callaspo, NOT Aybar Should Bat Second

This year is his last option year, so the team is in a precarious situation with regards to Conger. But there were always questions as to whether or not he would remain behind the plate. He and the Angels are running out of time.
-
But would you rather have Hank playing 40-50 games with the big club, or playing 120-130 in AAA where he can develop the consistency that he seems to be lacking. Or at least work on memorizing Victoria Secret's catalog's so he doesn't nearly take off Weaver's head again.
-
The problem I have with Conger being a back up, is the same problem I have with Romine being the utility infielder. Back up positions, in my opinion, should be reserved for journeymen veterans. They shouldn't play much who are extremely strong defensively. It does no good for the development of a player to sit on the bench in the bigs when he could be getting his reps in AAA.
