oh well it would have been nice to get him for a year or 2

"There is definitely some unknown because of the transition. We scouted him extensively. Certainly, we look forward to adding him into the mix with the rest of our rotation. That's what we look at him as: A solid, potential No. 3 starter in the big leagues."

Lol $155 million for a solid #3, alrigghttt 

no way he gets that much, ridiculous 

sure why not, weird after seeing him on ESPN for a few years. You see coaches do that but not really players 

Darin Erstad

i think santiago is going under the radar a bit too much 

prime Mauer at catcher (when he could play catcher)

i've always had mixed opinions on her. Sometimes i think she is as hot as can be then other times i think here face is kind of weird. Her body is a 10/10 though

i would be stunned if we don't end up getting Garza

Getz is the truth. He went bald quicker than anyone i've ever known though hahaha

meh we never sign players like this so it doesn't bother me 

I do think Trout would have won it last year if we made the playoffs. Even with Cabrera taking the triple crown

nothing is wrong with the stadium or the location. Naming the team the LA Angels would be BS

Trout would have 2 straight MVPs to start off his MLB career. Man he's unreal

Don't get me wrong I, like all of you, love seeing the Angels win. But at this point in time winning does nothing but lower our draft pick. No matter how well the Angels play the team won't make the playoffs and either the gm or hc will be gone after the season.

I'm not saying the team should tank

It, but does winning even do anything at this point in time?

On a side note, if I ever get the chance to meet Arte the first thing I'm going to ask him is "what are you doing to the team name?"

I'm going to be incredibly pissed if we become the Los Angeles Angels

My feelings are so mixed. On one hand you always want your favorite team to win but on the other these wins mean absolutely nothing apart from lowering our draft pick.

Weaver is ace by default but he's a 1.5 or a 2 starter, Wilson is a solid 3, Vargas is a decent 4, I'd offer him arb, and Richards can be depended on to be the 5 until he can prove himself over a season.  What the team needs is a starter somewhere between Weaver and Wilson to complete the rotation.  

 

The BP is a different story...I'd keep De La Rosa, Frieri, Kohn..I'd keep Williams for depth and hopefully Rasmus can work out.  That's five but considering injuries and regression they probably need 3-4 new arms.  Berg, Morin, and Maronde should be given long looks as well.

1.5 or a 2? He, Verlander, and Felix have been the best 3 Al pitchers in the past few years. How is Weaver a 2?

this thread will be responsible for Trout ditching us in a few years. Sometime in the future Trout is going to stumble across this thread and it will rustle his jimmies just enough to make him finally decide to move back to the east coast to play for the yankees.  For future references i blame it on you

wow man how awesome would it be to sign him. Unfortunately by joining our organization, which doesn't sign foreign players, he would turn out to be a bust and a massive waste of money

really is awesome to see. Like Gubicza i always thought he had the stuff to be a great pitcher but I couldn't figure out why he wasn't putting up the numbers. Now he's finally showing his potential. His one bad start (last start) could have been way better if Cowgill caught the flyball 

still hoping he nets us some good young pitchers this offseason

I have never seen a pitcher that is easier to steal on. Bengie could have stolen multiple bases off him if he chose to

Point is it's not like Francona has his team playing incredible baseball.  

 

They are a few games over .500.  

 

Not to mention I see no evidence that Sosh's managing has cost this team games.  It's all conjecture.

Look at what he's been given in comparison to Scioscia and he still has a much better record. A team can suck because the players aren't good but you can't have a team making this many mistakes, that's on Scioscia.
