I may be in the minority here, but I really don't mind not spending this offseason. I don't think this team is a FA or even 2 away from being competitive. And I don't think any FA available this winter, outside of Shohei, had the ability to substantially alter the team. We have been burned too many times by signing the same caliber of FA that was available this winter to exorbitant contracts. 
Now, if this becomes the new norm rather than a 2024-specific strategy, then I have a problem.

This offseason seems to indicate a sale. Lots of one year deals for spare parts; no long term commitments. That is my hope, anyway.

I was hoping this would be a poll so I could subtly vote.
No, I will not root for Shohei. He's on a different team, probably the worst team he could possibly join from my perspective. 
But there is no chance I would ever root for him to get hurt. Many of these posts are pathetic. And definitely not emblematic of the many, many passionate fans that I have met over the years. 
Quickly losing respect for several posters that I though had reasonable posts over the years.

I thought this was about how much Rendon earned every at bat.
In all seriousness, congrats -- my #1 source for Angels news: has been since 2013 and was before then while I was lurking!

Typically, not "that guy" but I've seen enough of your posts to know you have many, many better adjectives than "retarded." Please use different terminology.

Thank you for this. It makes a ton of sense. Though Ohtani has departed, hopefully his exposure on the Angels will endear the team to some Japanese fans -- we have enjoyed the support from, in my opinion, some of the best fans in the world.
I hope to enjoy more of your posts and insight going forward. Domo arigato gozaimasu!*
 
*Please excuse my clumsy attempt at Japanese. I have been inspired to try to learn the language.

Thank you!! 
@The Ghost of Bob Starr PM'd and congratulated me earlier today. I've been eyeballing the 1.9 million stat for what it seems forever. 

Congratulations @Chuck 

With @Lifetime we'd be approaching 3

Yeah it does.
But it doesn't count posts that were marked as hidden or spam. 

Does the 2 million include all of the posts that were made by posters that were put on "Ignore"?

What was the 2 millionth post?

We finally hit the two million mark on AngelsWin.com.
After bouncing around from 2004-2013 we finally found a permanent solution for our website’s home back in Feb of 2013.
Since then we have had over 2 million posts across 45.6k topics. 
Thank you all for calling AngelsWin.com your internet home for Angels talk and more.
