  1. What I don't get is why they added him to the 40 man over someone like Jerry Berg.
  2. Wow! Just listened to this. Jose was an incredible interview. Great job to everyone on the Podcast. AngelsWin.com is really stepping it up this year with the podcasts this year.
  3. Keep 'em coming. It's something fun to do today until the game starts. Besides, at the end of the season, it will be a great way to reflect on how well we were at forecasting the season.
  4. Congrats to Shoemaker for making the team! Good job. Very happy for him.
  5. Looking forward to listening to it . . . once the kids are asleep! Been a rough and busy day.
  6. The Angels are going to go through a lot of bullpen arms. Innings like that will make sure he's on the short list to get a call up.
  7. The press conference will begin around 1:30 and Mr. and Mrs. Moreno, Jerry Dipoto, Mike Scioscia, and Mike Trout will attend. If it is like events in the past, I would bet that some alumni Angels will attend.
  8. Looks like Rondon and Towey are both going to the 66ers.both should be challenged. I though Fish might have gotten that bump up too.
  9. I agree with everything you said and was almost going to put #5 as one of my reasons, but I went back and saw that the Angels had an 8-game win streak in 2013. I couldn't believe, but they did.
  10. I have to say how awesome Jose is for coming on to do this and how amazing it is to see how our site has grown. Jose and Terry were there at the beginning at Hail Marys and they're still here as we're getting ready for the start of the 2014 season.
  11. Looking forward to this. You've got to ask him about what his father thought of this and what is what like as a kid to hear this. Seriously, his dad never played with Pedro Borbon.
  12. I like what Dipoto has done and is doing by writing ouT an organizational philosophy, spelling out exactly what a player needs to do to earn a promotion, being aggressive and challenging prospects with jumps so that they can grow more and faster. Lots of good things to watch for a long time.
  13. Do Craig posts count? I wonder how many page views we've had over the years.
  14. Not at all. As others pointed out, time flew by, as did space on my memory card. I was going to edit it better to make the transition more smooth, but decided that the bit that I caught regarding the stadium improvements was important on its own and left it in there so we could get as much info from his talk as we could.
  15. Good analysis. I agree, his screwball was just filthy, and I'm looking forward to seeing it all season long! Plus, he's such a great guy. As much as we all will miss Mark Trumbo, Santiago's personality and stuff plus Skagg's stuff will more than make the Angels a better team this year.
  16. Bumping this for the people who didn't attend Fanfest or watch the interview. Jerry telegraphed the move to the crowd in his answer to the question about what the rotation and bullpen would be. Notice who he does not mention. If you haven't watched this video, along with the Tim Mead Dugout Talk (which is in the process of being posted) you really should prior to the season.
  17. Thank you for reminding us of the classiness an professionalism that Jerry brought in his answers and for pointing out an often overlooked fact. Having a bad season does not make one a bad person.
  18. I am convinced that he would have been a success either in business or politics had he never been a baseball player. He is very charismatic and thoroughly knowledgeable about every aspect of the organization. I would love to sit through a game and just talk shop with him.
  19. Me too. Can't help but root for him to have a good season overall and a great season against the Dodgers.
  20. Jim Abbott is more than one of my favorite players--he's a true hero and a great guy.
  21. He may have lost a few pounds each offseason, but nothing even remotely close to this offseason. It's a dramatic difference, and I really think it's his way of showing that he and the entire organization are serious about the changes that they want to make. I wish I had the willpower to lose that much weight and the time to workout that much.
  22. I got a copy of it from Rob. He does a wonderful job writing. I might not get to it until the summer, but am looking forward to reading it!
