UndertheHalo

I dunno man. I think any team could use a guy like Andrelton Simmons. In my mind he’s a championship type player.

Here’s a thing to consider. Who would be interested in giving him say. 5 years and 100 million? Keep in mind that he’ll be 31 once his contract with the Halos expires. As I said before. I’m really not sure what kind of contract I’d want to give him. I think 5/100 is a wholly justified ask on his end - should his current production keep up. Which I anticipate it will.

And to be clear, I’m not for trading Simmons. I just think that there are scenarios that would make it something that makes sense for the good of the team. And the clock is ticking on his time as a player in what’s traditionally considered “prime years” the Angels are entering a time where there really needs to be urgency to be a contender. Urgency to be a contender is not how I would describe what they did this last offseason.

Ya this off-season sort of shredded that whole idea from last year.

Simmons leaving the Angels would for me be the most painful player to see go. I’m not old enough for some of the guys from the late 70’s and 80’s. But.....this could be a sell high opportunity. Like @Chuckster70 says. If some team absolutely backs up the truck for him. Potentially this moves the Angels closer to a serious contention window. My biggest thing is that I’m not sure what kind of contract I’d want to give him should they extend him. IMO you really can’t pay guys significantly if they aren’t going to deliver with the bat. Simmons is solid now, and I’m not concerned about his fielding work declining. But I’m not sure how the bat plays as he exits his prime years.

lol. These fuc*king goons will do literally anything to make dat monies.

Government spending to aid Americans ? Lol. Geez. I wonder who’s for that.

This is honestly the most aids stricken thread I’ve ever browsed through.

Im not really that concerned with the pick. If they can get Keuchel on 2 years or less I’d be interested. Not sure I want the Angels making longer term commitment.

BA had a new mock draft also. It had the Angels getting an OF out of Missouri Kameron Misner. Toolsy type.

Ya I think it’s great and should absolutely be encouraged. It’s fun. Big fan of the dude with the horse mask also.

That horse is far more beautiful then John Lackey. How dare you.

Definitely was, but it’s gonna be important that some of these Angel starters starting building up pretty soon here. They all seem to experience issues once they cross 75-80 pitches. Honestly i’m not sure why they even sent him out, he obviously was gassed at the end of the 6th. Off day tomorrow. I don’t get some of the stuff Ausmus does. I’m not really one pretend I know better about that stuff. But I don’t know. It’s bizarre.

Gubi is really running with the Snydergaard/Thor and Endgame thing. Mega old man energy.

That gif will never not make me laugh.

Weird they’re sending Skaggs out again....

Maybe a little. Not egregiously imo.

Simba is a goddamn cheat code.

I’m going to be deeply bothered if Skaggs doesn’t get my fantasy team this QS.

I guess that depends what grandma Vlad sent him to work with today.

i feel like dreads are a big look for this blue jays team.

Barring some massive change with Cozart it’s pretty clear that the Angels fuc*ked up on that deal. Oh well. Add him to the list.

Jesus these Jays OF’ers are mega fuc*k ups.

Great AB for Goodwin there.

I did not expect to see Rengifo drive the ball to the opposite field so well. Great sign.
