    SC81 got a reaction from stormngt in Who stays and who goes next year?   
    The Angels need two things:
     
    1:  Another legitimate starter - CJ is a number five at this point, and there are no guarantees that Richards will be able to go in April of next year.  Personally, I'd go for a Lester or Scherzer. 
     
    2:  Need a legit number four hitter - and the good news is that he can be a DH/OF type.  When you compare Trout's numbers to Anthony Rendon of the Nationals, they are surprisingly similar in runs scored in spite of Trout being on base about 30 more times.  The Angels just got virtually nothing from the four hole in the line up.  I'm not completely giving up on Hamilton, but it is foolish to depend upon him to be anything more than an injury prone shell of himself.

    It actually doesn't sound like your nightmare scenario, it sounds like your "oh well if we can't win it, I'd rather have these guys than anyone else" scenario.
     
    The A's need to be crushed.  Baseball is a game of psychology as much as anything, and they need to lose faith in their ability to win.  Losing to KC is the best case scenario for the long-term in dealing with the green and yellow uglies.

    SC81 reacted to DoubleOffTheWall in What exactly is Hamilton's diagnosis?   
    I highly doubt that. He had that sick clutch homer in the 2011 WS in game six in extra innings, only to see it erased by the rangers' pen.
    I am starting to think more and more that his body is just straight up breaking down. Whethet his past drug issues are a contributing factor is hard to say but I think physically he cant take the toll of professional sports much longer

    Rick Manning here.  I have lived in Maryland for the past 28 years, but remain a loyal Angel fan dating back to my favorite player as a kid -ole number 11 - Jim Fregosi.
     
    I have enjoyed lurking and decided to sign up so I could join the fun.  After many years of looking for a really top notch site for Angels baseball, I think I've finally found what I've been searching for.
