If the Angels don't add good pitching we aren't making the playoffs it's pretty simple. This team has added one pitcher in Bundy. That's not going to cut it. 

I get the point this thread is making, but it still sounds like one of the stages of grief.

not really. it's more like saying, "i've been lifting weights to help with my cancer."
while the lifting weights and strength building are great, it's not really addressing the cancer.
 

outside of the rendon signing, which is awesome, this offseason has been shit. i know they're going to trade marsh, and that's going to piss me off.
i guess i'm pulling for us to sign ryu, because he's the only pitcher that actually pitches like a number one. everybody else is lesser in quality. sign ryu and pray for health, i guess.
trading marsh is going to be a mistake. i'm tired of repeating it, but that's your all star outfield.

Is it as bad as it was last seasons, no, i think they guys on the roster will be better.  The kids will take the next steps, Ohtani will return, i think they will improve.
BUT,  if we go into the season with what we have now, well be lucky to get third place

Looks like we’ve come full circle and we’re at the point where we try convincing ourselves these guys are better than they are and that Andrew Heaney will stay healthy. 
 
Yes, we NEED pitching if we want to compete for a WC spot this season. Real pitching. None of this Robbie Ray or Wade Miley bullshit 

I’ve always wondered about the view from rose colored glasses...

why do so many keep acting like the mets are going to trade their starters? they've said they're not going to, and they've behaved like a team that's not going to. i don't see the gray area.

Me too. At this point, I wouldn't object to paying a steep price for him (say, Marsh and Rengifo).

For a team needing “top tier” pitching Robbie Ray shouldn’t even be in the conversation 

Anyone who wouldn’t have wanted Bumgarner at that amount, well you’re nuts. $17M per season for a guy like that?

Literally could have had Kluber and Bumgarner at reasonable value. Eppler better have something up his sleeve or we look like idiots. 

and 15M deferred?  WTF?  Epp better have a really nice rabbit in his hat about now 

not when youre getting it for what we thought 4 would cost... to hell with the last year 
 

I would've done that deal in a heartbeat.

rumor is only for 80-90M, if thats true, we should be over reacting 

dang, we let go of borjous one year too early.

Indians must really love Clase

this means I still have no idea who we're getting
