  1. Not in so many words but that’s the indication I’ve gotten. Of course they change their minds a lot (see Silseth, Chase)
  2. The heart and hustle award was earlier in the week. The only other one last night was Estévez winning the pitcher of the year.
  3. This is referrring to Chris Russo, who is hardly an “analyst.” These “si” links… c’mon guys.
  4. I just want to point out that about 75 percent of people who commented or replied about this story read it as “Fletch is great and the Angels screwed him.” People see what they want to see, I guess
  5. I don’t think he’ll still be on the restricted list next year. I think he’ll either be playing or he’ll retire. If he is, then they would just pay him when he’s active.
  6. @AngelStew43 is correct. You guys are both saying the same thing. He can reject the assignment but he won’t because he’d be forfeiting his contract. Once he gets to 5 years (which he won’t this year), he can reject it and keep the contract.
  7. I think this right here is a really important quote. And why I don’t think he would request a trade.
  8. I’m not even going to guess. I would not be surprised by any scenario except Nevin stays/Minasian goes.
  9. Ok. I’m just saying that whether he stays or goes and when they decide that is all independent of what his contract is. All that matters is what Arte wants to do.
  10. Billy Eppler had a year left on his contract and they fired him immediately after the final game.
  11. It was before my time, but I always had been led to believe 1999 was the worst. Wasn’t there basically a player mutiny that forced Terry Collins to quit? Hard to top that.
  12. No. That would be “hamstring.” Loup is gonna be a free agent so he would not agree to any IL designation with his shoulder if it weren’t true.
  13. I think Trout wants to stay based solely on his own situation. And the Angels also aren’t going a full rebuild.
  14. I think they really want to load up O’Hoppe’s games since he missed so much time. Every pitch he calls in the big leagues teaches him something, and hes got a lot of catching up to do. I think Thaiss is supposed to start at catcher once more. And I think Cron is DHing tomorrow. We talked about this today because of my 7-1st-round-pick lineup I wanted Nevin to use.
  15. The way to sign a free agent is to offer him the worst contract.
  16. Ok. He hit on about 3 of 10 guys over 30 when he should have hit on 4 of 10. So he’s worse. Thats all I’m saying.
  17. It’s pretty sad what has become of “SI” now. The vast majority of stuff published under the name SI now is just nonsense written by fans.
  18. I’m saying that the majority of players who are over 30 are going to get worse. And some of the guys you mentioned are 33 or 34.
  19. The first part of this statement is true but the second definitely isn’t.
