mike_hllywa got a reaction from Chuck in The Tweet that Jon Heyman deleted..
Because, as writers, I feel we should hold them accountable for what they write, tweet, say. It's not just because it's "the internet," and I'm not a pious douchebag as was stated. I'm just as candid with my own boss when he says someting stupid. I also follow them because, for better or worse, they do get inside information that none of us are privy to. When it comes to getting information, they are there and I will respond with a serious question. When they say something that I think is stupid, I'll call them on it.

mike_hllywa reacted to AZMike in Hank Conger
I don't understand the comparisons here. Why does everyone think Hank Conger -- left handed catcher who hits for power -- is going to turn into a mediocre right handed relief pitcher?

mike_hllywa reacted to Scott34 in Angels are apparently looking for a backup catcher
Found the solution. Luis Jimenez was a catcher when he was 18 in the DSL. He threw out 46%. Clearly he is ready to jump right back in to catching.

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.

mike_hllywa reacted to mike_hllywa in Howie Kendrick
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.

Why are they hell bent on denying Jeter a gold glove in 2013. It's his birthright!

mike_hllywa got a reaction from Troll Daddy in From The OCR Angels Blog - Conger's throwing an issue for Scioscia
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.
