World Series champion Jacob degrom?

2022 Starting pitchers
Yankees signed Rondon for 6 years $190 million and got 14 games with a 6.85 era last year. His history previous to 2020 was poor, at best. 
Texas signed Jacob deGrom to a 5 year $220 million dollar deal. They got 6 games for $30 million. His history was injury riddled with the Mets. 
Minasian could have done worse than Tyler Anderson. 

Yes you said a lot of ridiculous things. Eflin has a 6 ERA this year. Anderson is at zero. 

Zach Eflin got an identical deal to Anderson the same offseason. Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm overambitious, maybe I'm too confident in my ability to read fangraphs player pages.... I want the GM that gets Eflin, who was roughly 5x times better than Anderson last year if you believe in WAR.

I was just about to post that no GM is going to have success here while Arte is at the helm. 

3 failed efforts to add frontline SP in Syndergaard, Anderson, Giolito Long list of awful relief pitching signings Bad extensions for Stassi and Fletcher, who weren't even free agents at the time Consistently acquiring players who predictably regressed after previously outperforming their peripheral and advanced stats or coming off career outlier seasons -- like Tyler Anderson, Ryan Tepera, Aaron Loup, Lucas Giolito Usage of most players in the league multiple times due to having to shuffle through wildly incompetent depth signings like Kurt Suzuki, Juan Lagares, Tyler Wade, etc. Failed to adequately apply platoons to mitigate production drop off when players sustained injuries Lost Ohtani Coaching staff was a shitshow during Ohtani competitive window Rushed Silseth, Bachman, O'Hoppe, and Neto's development and all suffered significant injuries Had public falling out with one of the most successful and well respected managers of the recent era Flip-flopping organizational values year-in and year-out One year he hires driveline guys and emphasizes stuff+, the next he gets rid of them and emphasizes fastballs and throwing strikes One year he gives Raisel Iglesias one of the richest RP contracts of all time, the next he trades him for nothing in a contract dump  One year he hires Phil Nevin with no managerial experience to be Ray Montgomery's analytics puppet, the next he hires the oldest manager in the league At this point Minasian's only redeeming quality has been moderate success in the draft -- by drafting the consensus most "pro-ready" collegiate players and rushing through the system. Is this really some sort of rocket science strategy that another GM couldn't replicate?
 
At this point I am at a total loss for why this guy is still here. Drafting Zach Neto and trading Marsh (a top 10 CF in the league) for Logan O'Hoppe do not compensate for the overwhelming incompetence this guy has demonstrated the past 3 years. I'll be surprised if he makes it through July.
 
 
 

i would add bartolo colon, jose gullen, and kelvim escobar to the good list as far as production is concerned. guillen crashed and burned in his relationship with scioscia, but he was a good player when he wasn't being a knucklehead.

It’s an identity crisis, and it’s an Angel flaw. Same thing Matt Thais went through after being drafted. They draft a pure hitter and on base machine, and rather than understanding and fostering what they have, they plant the ideas in their head about being a power hitting 1B.
 It just isn’t who he is, and what you end up with is a broken hitter with no power rather than what you drafted in the first place. Sane thing happened with Cron, Thaiss and Ward. As soon as they took their careers into their own hands and stopped trying to change, their careers improved. 
 
Schanuel needs to go back to basics like last year and forget this concept of turning on the ball with authority. Just keep slapping it to all fields and milking your way on base. Don’t be who the Angels wish you were and be yourself. If they don’t like it, then it’s their fault, they shouldn’t have drafted you. 

Another potential HOF pitcher ruined by the pitch clock. When will this madness end?

Works with driveline, kind of a pitching guru, and a pioneer in terms of pitch shape, stuff+, pitch+, location+ metrics. 
 
 

Gubi also took a look at the statistics and said, “the Red Sox crush fastballs…” 

It’s just early season conversation. I’m not putting definitives on anything. Just posted that I thought it was interesting

The Angels won some games against the Marlins so who cares?

If adding Sasaki means that the Angels have to slide in a shitty starter to pitch every 6th day, I'm out. 
 

He is declining already. 

Of course Jared Walsh goes to the Rangers and shows signs of a turn around…
feels like the Angel organization has a culture issue. What happened with J Walsh? Dude was an all-star
