How sweet would it be if we traded Ohtani to SD We could see the Dodgers get beat (hopefully), he would stay out of the AL which would be much less painful They have a lot of great prospects. Its not a douchey team like NYY, BOS, LAD

We can only pray Ohtani walks and signs elsewhere at this point

Even if you divide that amongst crappier players whos sum don't equal the value of Ohtani, isnt it a smarter bet given the likelihood of injuries to all those people much less than just Ohtani I'm looking at the pain of Trouts contract during his injury years and imagining more

Kelenic and Torkelson got sent down but we keep guys like this up here I guess just because we have nobody plausible to replace? Call back Kevin Frandsen

I told you to shave those sideburns!

Were the 2008 Seattle Mariners the only team to hit the 100/100 milestone?

Trout to Philly would be pretty cool The guy deserves a chance to win and he wont get it here, and we shouldnt be so selfish to keep him down

any chance the angels will retire his number?

Sandoval is pretty good Pujols contract is over

we are lucky to have had him was he the last true Ace of this club?

https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/ANA/los-angeles-angels-salaries-and-contracts.shtml Maybe in 2026? Trout will be 35/36 and potentially Pujols 2.0 phase Rendon will have his last year on the books, maybe on the IL Most of our young guys will be on the last year of arb, if they last that long Presumably, if we can perform well in the future drafts, and continue to do what we have been doing (sucking) well build up some good prospects by then

You have to wonder how close to the bottom they are, or if they will be even worse in the Trout=Pujols years

IF Rendon somehow manages to stay healthy AND starts aging backwards IF many of the draft picks we got somehow defy the odds and become really good IF Ward maintains his really hot 6 week '22 sample size for the remainder of his career IF we just sign a good catcher, SS, 3 SPs, and some BP arms and stay within payroll IF Adell does what he has never done in the ML and play well and Trout stops getting routinely hurt I think our chances are pretty good to compete with anyone besides the Astros in our division

Imagine (insert 14 "ifs") scenario is the other plausible route

Imagine if we had a stable of T100 prospects and a huge amount of payroll to sign a field of fresh FA's Trade everyone but Trout and hope that we get him a ring / playoff chances in his Pujols years with us this is our highest probability to win

Hard to say

When ohtani thinks about his angels signing it's probably an "I married the wrong woman" feeling, except there's no ring involved

who

Go to the batting cage store and find Paul McAnuly. Add in Matt Palmer and season saved

I think if about 14 or 16 different "If's" happen than we should be pretty good

how about now?

can we get a RenDONE sign in LF?

Some dude is trying to sell me life insurance Male, 37, white, no health issues, passed all the health checks, one wife (odds of divorce surely greater than 50%) Guy works at Mass Mutual. Hes kind of a buddy (kind of) so I sat through 2 hours of "financial advice" which I think was just a ploy to obligate me into saying yes. anyway $ 1M / 15 yr / $77.87 month $ 500k / 30 yr / $92 month $500k / 15y / $43.51 month (maybe something like this) Im going to inherit two $1M+ value homes nearly free and clear from my 71/72 year old parents Anyone know if the price above is higher than it should be? I was OK spending $15 a month on it, but didnt expect it to be that much. Is life insurance a suckers bet? So many questions, somebody kill me

I really enjoyed this film
