Omg joe smith again! He has the nastiest stuff on the staff... filthy

Outside of getting Skaggs and Santiago, yes. 

 

Speaking of Santiago. If the Angels acquire pitching or believe Shoemaker can be the guy, or Jose Alvarez, I can see Santiago being a lights out late inning reliever as well. He closed for the White Sox before. 

Interesting

Again incredible. ... lights out!

nothing this is the beginning of many unfortunate events that are about to plague this team...so much for a "better april"... 

young pitcher = inconsistency.. 

i sense a day off to "get things right" coming!  

we can expect 40 plus HR's from him! to bad pujols's dominate playing days are behind him cuz; what a line up we would have! 

I'd actually like to see him close. I've never been a big fan of Frieri closing 

ditto that.  i'll bet he'll make is way to close before the all star break....

skaggs!

Stay healthy... 

Yea skaggs looked great!  Joe smith's movements=sick scot shieldish... 

First time i have seen him pitch and very impressive....  Good job! Hope to see a ton more! 

GO HAMILTON! 

dude, thank God you're fixing your teeth, it was hard to see you smile. 

Omg... 2014 cy young award winner! 

Same ol story different year....  We have a ton to look forward to out of our bullshit pen... 

Lol at this post...  Knew i would find those words.... 

who the eff cares. Arte can do whatever the heck he wants.  simers is the one acting like a little baby pouting. 

Sounds series. Not surprising.

jose mota? series or serious? LOL  

Jim Abbott Fav angel ever?  i mean he was great but certainly not a fav. what about  Rod Carew, Bobby Grich, Wally Joyner, Tim Salmon, Nolan efing Ryan, Valdy, Darin Erstad, Jim Edmonds... wow halos have had some great names play for them...

Pujols is running a ton better too.

Very good to see.

running better? LOL i hope your joking.  vlady ran better in his last years as a halo...  giant strides heel to toe?  who the hell runs like that?  

He just does the math in his head by converting to grams.

LOL!   

i like this kid... good d and some decent AB's.... 

Reminder of the other half of my previous comment:

"From May 5th 2012 (day of first HR) to Aug 22nd (the 23rd thru 28th he missed due to knee injury) Pujols had a .985 OPS."

So, for 3 1/2 months of the 2012 season, over half the season, he had a .985 OPS. It faded when his knee was injured. In 2013 he had a problematic offseason, a knee that wasn't fully healed and Plantar Fasciitis that kept him on one leg and eventually ended his season. Every slump he has had as an Angel has a very rational explanation.

His health can be questioned. That is fair game. But, if he is healthy then he can at least put up a .985 OPS. There is no evidence to say he will suddenly hit like Kotchman. Albert hit 17 HR in 99 games on 1 freeking leg! He has not forgotten how to hit. He hit well for over half of the 2012 season! His body may not hold up long term, but if healthy, he will hit.

blah blah blah blah blah..... so sick of excuses thats all we have heard since he got here.  bad knees, plantar fasciitis, pressing too hard, big contract, marine layer bigger ball park, missing his family.... SO SICK OF IT! the pujols we all hoped and dreamed for will never be. ever.. 

ITS early.. oh man here we go again... i remember this, " its early" talk for the last 2 seasons... its not early, what did he just start working out?  Didn't he start like in december?   he should be at least in spring training form, right?  not 2 for 15 or something like that.... geez.........
