Draft Lottery is this Tuesday, Dec. 5.  Hopefully a top-3 pick is on the way.  Maybe by the time the draft rolls around there will be some college pitchers ready to step into the rotation.

Now that he’s closer to Hollywood, we should see more of Ron Washington in his role as Moff Gideon

I wouldn’t have thought it was possible, but if this team keeps up the way they’re going, we’ll have a decent chance at getting the #1 pick in next year’s draft!  By good chance- I’m talking 10% or higher!
But seriously- maybe there’s a Ken Griffey Jr. in this draft!  Or even better- maybe the next Phil Nevin!  The good part there is is that Phil can mentor him about being a failed prospect here and then advise him that all he needs is a change of scenery to succeed in life.  

it’s an exciting time to be an Angels fan- keep losing for that pick!

None of the prospects we gave up is a Hall of Famer, - I’ve come around to the position that if these moves give Trout and Ohtani a little better chance to go to the playoffs together then it’s worth it even if just for the entertainment value.
I think the biggest problem has been the injuries.  If there had even been half as many as we’ve had, I think the trades might look different.  Not only that, but there are still 2 months left which means even more chance of injuries so we need all the semi solid major league depth we can get.  Sorry, Jeremiah Jackson, Quero, Crow etc aren’t going to help us make the playoffs and won’t help us in the playoffs.

I still have concerns about pitching overall, but I think having added Keuchel or Ryu along with Bundy and Ohtani coming back dramatically improves pitching and gets us into the playoffs.  We can look at adding more pitching at the deadline instead of playing chicken with other teams. 
What it really allows the team to do keep our trade chips until the Bryant grievance  is resolved and we see if he has one or 2 years left- either way we go get him.  The Cubs will want MLB ready players as they are still in contention and the Angels seem to be a good match.  It would require them or someone to take on Upton as KB would be in LF.  He is one of the few players I’d trade Brandon Marsh for and we could include players such as Rengifo and possibly one of Sandoval, Barria or Suarez. Obviously it won’t be as much returning if Bryant only ends up with a year left.  I think Bryant would have a good chance to re-sign, but even if he doesn’t, this is the type of move you make if you are going for championships.  
Look at this lineup 
1. Fletcher 2B
2.  Rendon 3B
3. Trout CF
4. Bryant LF
5. Ohtani DH
6. Adell RF
7. Pujols 1B
8. Simmons SS
9. Stassi C
