Air Trout

Choi was a rule 5 selection right?

Notice I said he needs to smash during spring training, implying that if he is a beast during spring he gets a spot and I then said for him to continue to be a beast during the season, so he can keep his spot and help this team win.

I wasn't suggesting to rebuild, I was replying to underthehalos idea of trading Richards/Calhoun if we aren't contending.

I think you're right about that, but I'm referring to the giveaway schedule. I mean its out but there's nothing on there expect opening day: http://losangeles.angels.mlb.com/schedule/promotions.jsp?c_id=ana They usually have the list ready by December but this year they haven't updated it with any giveaways. I want to know the dates for the bobbleheads.

I never said we are rebuilding, I was replying to underthehalo, because if Richards is traded then may as well trade others. We may be able to pull through without Calhoun but definitely not our Ace. Trout loves to win and he loves the east coast. If we aren't winning he is going to leave to a team who is and to a location he loves. I would not bank on saying Trout will stay here if we lose and rebuild.

No doubt the pressure is on, that's why he needs his big boy pants.

And when his contract is over, he is leaving, because there is no way he sticks through rebuild years. and then Halos miss a huge opportunity to restock the farm with one player. I'm against rebuilding period, I think the current team we have is good enough to compete and get into the playoffs and once in well you know the cliche, anything can happen.

I think what needs to happen is for Kaleb Cowart to end the 3B drought, put his big boy pants on and smash during spring training and smash again during the season. Cowart is a major key for the Angels success.

If they are going to rebuild they will have to trade Trout.

Anyone know the reason for it not being up already? It's usually up by December, it's about to be February and nothing.

Poor choose of words by my part, should have been, it is less difficult to find a corner outfielder as opposed to a shortstop.

Simmons was a great acquisition. We didn't need to worry about it this season, but next season we did. Now we don't need to worry about it. It's much easier to get someone to fill in the corner outfield spot as opposed to SS, especially an amazing shortstop such as Simmons. As you can see for next years free agency http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/03/2016-17-mlb-free-agents.html , there's really no one at short to hold the position long term.

Before this home-stand i was having doubts about this team. But having been there at the stadium Sunday versus Yanks they showed me that they could fight and comeback they just didn't complete it. Tuesday versus M's they came back but also couldn't finish but third times a charm and this team fought till the end to complete the best comeback this year and to do it versus Felix!! WOO SOO HAPPY RIGHT NOW! Ernasty say's to believe because he believes well Ernasty I BELIEVE! Now don't disappoint me!

In another forum I predicted PBJ to hit .280 while hitting Homeruns,Doubles,Triples but a decent enough OPB.. He has proved me wrong so far and hope he can keep this level off play up. We need him to keep it up

HAHAc funny people on here

I wasn't here on this during the bad things that were said about Ernasty, but I felt the same way although not completely. Ernasty the first months was scary to watch. Yes he got the job done but he did it by making the game interesting. Now he looks settled in and looks like the Ernasty from last year. I hope he can keep it up because we need him to keep playing at this "Untouchable" level.

I'm a believer!!!

This is dumb should have put Trout lead-off.. I guess well see what happens uggh

Kendrick for young arms, I think it's more than enough. There's enough teams that are in need of 2nd base upgrade. Would they be willing to trade there young arms, well who knows, teams do start to get desperate though during the deadline. Young arms is a must for this team and Dipo needs to do his best to restock

Just any pitcher who is 24 or below for Kendrick

No we have to keep Ernasty. He is young and there's no one to replace him. It's a step back if Angels trade Frieri

Trade him as well. This team needs arms. We have enough offense. Got to go after those young arms, they can benefit us right now and will for sure help us out in the future.

If they can extended him for a fair price then do so if not then flip em for SP prospects

Ya Hanson sucks. Weaver needs to get it going although he has been knocked around lately he has looked really good in those games. Just needs to get back to playing his game more consistently.

The only reason i came across this site was in search for Aybar gifs lol. I was searching for the one today where he is sticking his tongue out and doing stupid faces after getting on base with an infield bunt single, I hope someone has it.
