The Angels need a left fielder.  Common knowledge.  But there are a few things about Cespedes that really are bothersome.  Oakland was making a run at the AL West, and in the heat of the race, Oakland trades Cespedes.  Detroit is looking like it has a chance and then all of a sudden they trade Cespedes.  Why?  This man has so much baggage.  Do you really want a big gun left fielder who isn't even liked by his teammates?  Who has proven to throw errant shots from the outfield?
 
The lack of Angels hitting in 2015 stems from not having a real hitting coach.  The material was there, but Don Baylor has never shown he can translate his hitting ability into instruction.  Let's give this team a chance.  I am so afraid that we are so anxious to put a big name in left field that we will create another Josh Hamilton scenario.

In fairness to Scioscia, he did not pick this pitching staff.  Remember how much control he used to have over player personel before Dipoto came on board?  So don't dump on Mike so quickly.
