Stripling isn't a free agent until 2023.  Two more years of Arb. 
That would be awesome.

I agree, I would call this a great day for Billy if it's Stripling.

My guess is we see Pedersen play more at first than the OF. Curious to see if there’s something else brewing, though. 
 
This should be a really fun offense to watch.
 

Joc is not going to block Adell.  

Fool me once, shame on you; but teach a man to fool me, and I'll be fooled for the rest of my life.

Did I miss an AW competition to see who can create the shittiest thread?

We're going to kick ass in the 2020 MLB Leapfrog Contest

How good is he with a camera?

Lmao.  It would be so funny if they pinch the Dodgers.  Please, please, please let that happen. 

Its almost like weighing out 2 years of poor drafts for a ring....
 
Id say they won that gamble

Don't get hurt. A couple starting pitchers step it up.

Rearranging the numbers in 2002 gets you 2020. It's meant to be. 

Props for honesty. 
Too bad he’s dumb as a box of rocks. 

I will read the article later but this SP is better than last year. At least on paper. It would be nice for it to look even better though. Still time to add.
Oh and Jennifer Lawrence is super hot.

Absolutely 100% #1, year of control for year of control.
WE get someone to slot in at #1 AND we retain young tradable assets for possible deadline deals for an actual ace that isnt a project. 
Its win win.
I do that yesterday.

Each team in the MLB can choose one Astros player (minors or majors), and take them (with their current contract).

Arrogant much?

I don’t think you grasp the concept of a sunk cost, which is what the final years of Pujols’ contract were always going to be. Most people understand you don’t give playing time to a bad player just because you’re paying him more money than almost everyone else.

There are people who think the Angels offense is only top ten (or worse)? Geez...
You guys have gotten so pessimistic you don’t even accept objective third party opinions about the team when they’re positive anymore. 
We are a top offense. Period. Not ‘the’, ‘a’ top offense. We’re in the top five. Injuries or breakout years by someone like Adell could change that but that’s roughly where we are. Anyone who says otherwise, I’ll just repeat @GregAlso‘s challenge: Prove it. Don’t just make idiotic assertions.

An outfield of Marsh-Trout-Adell with Ohtani and Upton splitting time at DH makes me feel all tingly.

Not bad - it really helps having Trout and Rendon on the team. Before adding Castro, Fangraphs has us projected in a 3-way tie for second in batting (with the Dodgers and the Red Sox, behind the Astros). They have decent projections for Castro next year, so that should edge us up to #2 in these projections (assuming none of the other top 4 have made any recent moves I'm not aware of). And, that's assuming very little production from Adell, and that Upton doesn't bounce back much after last year.
The exact position isn't super important - but its interesting that Fangraphs is so high on our offense overall. Feels like our path-to-the-postseason is: 1. stay healthy, 2. Teheran does his thing and plays above his metrics, 3. any two of the following pitchers live up to their potential: Canning, Sandoval, Suarez, Barria, 4. STAY HEALTHY. Adell living up to the hype would help as well.

I agree
