  1. Bill Stoneman won in spite of Disney. The Angels would be a vastly better team today had he simply stayed on as GM for a couple more years or if more of the old guard survived the Dipoto purge.
  2. If I was a pitcher signing a one year deal there is no park I'd rather pitch in than that one. I know his history, but if he's healthy he will pitch well and that place will mask some warts... Think MadBum.
  3. Its the damage to the farm, that's been the issue. Many of us have said it but I don't think people realize just how truly bad the system was in 2015. The gap between the Angels and the next worst team was possibly bigger than the gap between that team and the very best farm system in MLB.
  4. Montgomery isn't someone you go five years on. He's not a stuff guy. He's someone I wanted when I thought he could be had for 3, maybe 4 years but he apparently wants a lot more. Dude can pitch, he's tall and left handed and those guys can often buck the norms but he's got a pretty good shot at going Patrick Corbin on someone. Look at the bright side, Snell will likely be available again next season.
  5. If they would have caved to his opt out request they would have had him. I was given very similar info on Snell from a member of the Yankees front office. He didn't have specifics on whatever deal the Angels might be working on but he claimed an average of 35 mil or an opt out after one season was what they were hearing Boras was looking for or had set as a starting point. The actual signing will get him close to the 35 Mil after the one season and gets him back out there next season year without the burden of the draft pick. If Arte was the reason they didn't do it, then its maybe the first time I'm happy he interfered with his GM.
  6. So, like everyone else? Good thing nobody actually accused you of any of those things, huh?
  7. They can do that AND try to add pieces. This just seems to be a situation where what he wants and what best suits the Angels doesn't really line up and to date neither side has been willing to make it work for both parties. The Angels shouldn't be trying to sign anyone who will cost them a pick to a one and done deal -they aren't one player away.
  8. That is some seriously high octane gas-lighting. But sure, that's what you meant.
  9. He's as talented as they come he's just got a history of lacking durability and playing down. Sometimes guys defy their histories, sometimes they live up to them, like Rendon (Made of glass). Dude has a career ERA+ of 104 in his non Cy Yong seasons.
  10. This is rich coming from the same guy that tried to paint me as a "different" kind of fan because I choose not to obsess over the tripe "superfans" fawn all over. What exactly does Rendon have to do with Moreno not being willing to give him an average of 35 mil or an opt out after one year.? Rendon Derangement Syndrome is now officially a thing.
  11. I wasn't picking at you -- I was saying that guy is just repeating other people -- no original thoughts.. The internet is 98% fluff.
