In order to get my 15 minutes of fame, all I need to do is speak Spanish and show up to AngelsWin fanfest with a Salmon jersey? Time to get Rosetta Stone. Congrats Juan Carlos!!

My favorite part from the article: “Maddon said he’ll check with Pujols regularly to make sure he gets enough rest to be somewhat productive.“
Somewhat productive...

I imagine he would also be considered for the bench coaching job considering his clubhouse presence.

Thanks Chuck!  It really is a better experience not having the ads. 

I am not familiar enough with all our prospects to give a reply to whom I would protect. However, in an effort to keep this going or even expand upon it and maybe this deserves a thread of its own, but assuming you were a GM if an expansion team, how would you build your roster. Would you go for the best possible team now to energize your fan base?  Would you build a team upon as many young, high upside prospects as you could?  Would you do a mix of major league talent and prospects?  Perhaps you would build a team with as many players as possible to flip at the next trade deadline to bring in some of the higher level prospects that were protected?  I imagine one could build quite an effective pen with an expansion draft along the lines later out by the OP. 
 
Was just curious where where most of you stand. 

I find it amusing that the Angels can go 5-2 on the week and ESPN drops them from 19 to 20 in their Power Rankings. 
 
It is small things like that that sometimes gives players/teams a chip in their shoulder. I can see this team using small things like this to make this a "magical" season. 

If you suspect or know you were tipping pitches, wouldn't it be better to use that tell and try and deceive a couple hitters?  Continue to do that and let the other team figure it out and adjust. Seems that would be better than going public with it.

I don't think #1 is a factor. The two teams made a trade during the offseason.

You are too simple minded. Someone needs to be convinced to part with a game worn commodity for the betterment of the team. When you are dealing with the advantage of a trade tool as precious as a Honus Wagner card, you MUST explore all trade scenarios.

Halos should trade an authentic and unworn Ryan Madson Angels uni

Ultimate showing of displeasure is just to not show up.

Rays forgot bros over hoes.
