  1. I crrtainly am not impressed with Featherston or Rutledge. I wouldn't mind picking up a utility infielder, especially one who can play shortstop.
  2. I am very happy for GR. He has worked really hard to come back. He will be ready to take the "ace role" in mid April.
  3. Rucinski should get a couple starts until Rihards is ready then head to the pen. Heaney is not ready yet.
  4. The "Big Man" was also well prepared and a pro at talk radio. He was the best at scooping the local media on Lakers, Angels and Dog news. He will be missed. RIP
  5. I still am upset about the Carney Lansford trade to Boston. It was easy to see that he was going to be special. At the time the Angels always traded away the young playrrs for vets. This trade was awful. Burleson was really good for the Sox but not so much for the Halos. Carney Lansford would have been the best 3rd baseman in club history and might have won batting titles for the Angels. He also played excellent defense.
  6. I have seen all the great ones at bat in my 55 years of watching baseball. No one was more fun to watch than Vlad. Also, when he would unload a throw from right field only Roberto Clemente could match his arm.
  7. We need another left handed bat. How about Daniel Nava from the Sox? Trade a Rondon or two for him.
  8. A failed drug test would be the best thing for the Angels. Arte can dump him and get sympsthy from fans and sportswriters. Guy should be jn jail for stealing money.
  9. I may be wrong but didn't the Giants win 3 of the last 5 WS without high priced free agents? Pitching, in a short series is everything.
  10. One of the all- time greats that never tasted the post season. To me, he played in the Golden rra of baseball with Mays, Aaron, Mantle, Koufax, Gibson and so many more. RIP MR CUB
  11. Boras is not finding any teams to go against Detroit. He needs the Yanks, Red Sox or Dodgers ( or God forbid Arte) to inflate Sherzer's worth. I think he resigns witth the Tigers but not for more than 7/175.
  12. I couldn't agree more. I don't expect anything from Hammie. He will probably be hurt before May.
  13. Another good move by DP. Absolutely needed a left hand bat. I didn't see Cron as an every day DH. Jepsen was very good last season but he hasn't been consistent in his career. He can be replaced by Morin and Pestano. I think DP might be done now until the spring. The only moves I could see are if some sucker wants to take Josh and absorb a chunk of his salary. Same for CJ.
  14. Howie plsys the game like it should be played--with a smile on his face. Sosh never had to eorty about who would play second for nine years. Baseball is a business and the Angels had a great employee in #47.
  15. I would still like to see a veteran Lefty for the bench. Someone who can play The corner outfield. Does anybody think they carry Rutledge, Green and Featherston on the 25 man roster?
  16. I would still like to see a left handed bat that can DH and play first and the OF for the bench. I like this team right now but ee need a lefty on the bench.
  17. A big hitting upgrade? I think Green has a lot to prove yet. Howie was very solid and an excellent defender. This isn't just about offense.
  18. The Red Sox sent Cespedes to the Tigers for Porcello.
  19. The Trumbo trade was great but wouldn't have happened if the Dbacks hadn't moved Eaton to the Sox for Santiago. JD has been excellent. He has remade the 25 man with some kry codt controlled players. He has situated the Angels to compete for the next several years. Cudos to Jerry.
  20. The dude has caught a no no in each league. Maybe instead of cash the Angels can send $10 worth of Mega Million tickets.
  21. If Arte won't go over the tax threshold then it is almost impossible to include money with CJ unless it is applied to 2016 only. They would still need to sign a FA pitcher that would cost at least 4-10 million.
  22. Trumbo in another three-way. Deja vu all over again!
  23. How many teams have a backup catcher who can hit and play decent defense? You are describing an all star catcher not a backup.
  24. Next Heyman eill tell us that Hamilton is in the market but yhe Angels are nit inclined to kick in any money. All these writers at the winter meetings hsve to come up with something. The CJ report took no imagination.
