Seems like hes been in the shadows of Kris Bryant's attention but hes getting things done. Was highly touted coming into March amd for all spring trainings worth he is number 1 in OPS, ahead of Trout. Looking forward to seeing him play... Who has a better year, him or Bryant?

Hes 5'8 ish, although hes listed at 5'9 on most places

Saw him in high school and followed him in college. I Remember seeing the guy throw a no hitter reaching low 90's (he pitched too) and hitting 2 homeruns in the same game, though at the time didnt think much about him becoming pro. He was always solid with ASU too, if I remember correctly he tied the college world series RBI record his junior year. The skill has always been there and I always wondered why he got drafted so late. Maybe his size? He was pretty bulky early on at a low height. Edit: He wasn't too shabby in JC either, hit over .300 as a freshman and hit .413 with 18 homeruns as an All-American 1st team as a sophmore. He always hit, so age is probably the reason he was doubted as a major leaguer. That still doesn't explain the fact why he was drafted so late to begin with, causing him to be older than the competition. My guess is his size as I mentioned. He was easily over 200 lbs and 5'8 / 5'9 during high school and college..

Hahaha im aware of it

As I said, I like their story and they made baseball interesting for me to watch. If that makes me a bandwagoner then damn. What do you not consider a bandwagoner, someone who roots for their local team? Lol I live in AZ and cant stand how the organization is run. Horrible team. But go ahead and tell me who I can truly be a fan of.

Am I missing the humor? Lol

Im a redsox and angels fan. Call me a bandwagoner, but i fell in love with the sox when they came back against the yankees and won the world series in 04. I just loved the story behind it, and its what got me into watching baseball. I was 9 years old so I didn't follow baseball prior to that (Im young I know lol). Ive been following the angels for about 3 years now as a result of followingkole calhoun, and became a fan of the team! I probably follow the angels even more than the redsox now, in large part because of this forum.

Yes besides Richards, plus I dont think we can expect him to do what he did last year. If he does great,i think he'll still be dominat but id expect a bit of a regression. Same goes for shoemaker.

I think a few teams are going to be after him including boston and st.Louis, but what do you think would be his price? Would be great for the angels to have a proven dominant front line guy..

Thank God For Arte Lol... Seriously though, we are very lucky to have an owner who is willing to spend like he does to make the team better (weather it does or he doesn't). Also, I think that something that goes overlooked is that despite those years after 09 with last year being an exception, he stuck with his staff. Many of us here have wanted socia out and even JD or have at least been criticized, but now we're a 90+ win team and we should be one for years.

Very similar to what I was thinking
