Hi CardsRule
Nice truck you have there.

In 5.2 innings since the recall, bedrosian has allowed 2 hits (both singles), 1 walk and struck out 10. If he's finally translating his dominant play in the minors to mlb it would be great.

Anyone who speculates about trading Trout doesn't understand Arte Moreno at all.  
This offseason made it clear that Arte's goal is to maximize attendance relative to cost.  It should have been obvious to us sooner.  
while winning plays a role, it's only one part of the puzzle to achieve his goal.  It's clear that one of Arte's biggest perceived weapons is star power.  
With today's news, the only thing that is going to continue to draw fans is the presence of Mike Trout.  
 
So those speculating about trading him need to understand the financial implications relative to how Arte runs his franchise.  
 
You want to know if Arte would trade his golden goose for prospects so the team might have a chance to be good in 4 or 5 years.  All the while still paying Albert 30 mil per while the team loses 90-100 games and attendance drops to catastrophic levels.  
 
Also, I would bet a considerable sum that having the best player in baseball means something to Arte regardless of whether the team wins.  
 
Here is another thing to consider.  You have Trout for almost 5 more years.  Even with his escalating salary, he's still worth more than can be matched by any given team at this point.  Anything a team would be willing to give up at this point is pretty much everything they'd have to give and could never equal five years of Trout.  It could, however, equal 2 years of Trout.  So if you are gonna trade him, why not wait until he's only got two years left.  Spend the next three years trying to catching lighting in a bottle.  Maybe you have an amazing draft or two.  Maybe you make a great couple of trade or get a couple of free agents at below market value.  
My point is, you probably get the same bounty for trout in 3 years as you'd get now.  So why not hang on to him and see what happens.  You can't really miss your window to trade him.  So wait till the last possible second and hope you can get lucky to where you don't have to.  
 
One more thing and I've said this before.  You don't trade Trout for unproven talent.  You'll never get close to enough value.  You start with a teams three best young players under control for at least 4-5 years and go from there.  You can always move those players for additional talent later, but you get the most proven talent that you possibly can.  It's all about value.  Not future need or projection.

And then the website link that outlays a million "rules" that other people have to follow when dealing with both them and their shitbird kid while claiming some kind of moral high ground. FO.

Takes me back to the mid 70s East German women's swimming star, KorneLIUS Ender.   The perfect gloss for her, as she was probably as roided up as a lot of men were.

Davies had an ERA just under 9 allowing more than 2 baserunners an inning coming in. 6IP 2ER

Leading the league in double plays (by a wide margin) while also having one of the lowest OBPs is hard to do.
 
This team also has the worst baserunning stats in MLB, again by a large margin.

Tropeano has done a great job pitching out of jams but he allows way too many baserunners (1.62 whip). The low ERA can't last allowing so many walks and hits.

Lots of Ospreys flying daily over south corona and into the cleveland nat'l forest.

I like that website. You can follow the flights over the north pole, usually to avoid the strong headwinds. On the eastbound flights from asia they usually stay more south to take advantage of the very strong (sometimes 250 mph) tailwinds. Fastest verified groundspeed was a 747 at 752 knots (865 mph) just east of Japan.

Sometimes you can see when LAX or SNA switch takeoff/landing direction, usually during strong santa ana winds they point east.
You can also filter based upon aircraft type or airport. Good site.
 
I have a cheap ADS-B receiver so I can see the planes without needing internet. The range isn't very good with the small included antenna but you can still pick up planes within about 50 miles. It does software-defined radio too. Not bad for ~$20.
