  1. Any reason there has been zero interest in Montgomery all along?
  2. It was the 02-03 offseason. It was voted that because it was put on a tee for him with Mike Scioscia, Bill Stoneman, a top farm system, and fresh off a World Series championship. Riding the coat tails for another 7 years before completely ruining everything is exactly what I’m saying. he was the owner that let it all go to shit because he didn’t allocate resources to the farm.
  3. Ron was optimistic about Stephenson also so I’ll believe it when I see it lol
  4. Thats wrong. he bought the franchise in 2002 from Disney who put Stoneman and Scioscia in charge and let the baseball people run the baseball club. as soon as Arte started putting his hands all over the franchise and even more so player personnel decisions, and stopped listening to smart baseball people things went the wrong way. things were fine for 7 years while the pristine farm system kept chugging along. 2010 on has been a cluster fuck. 13 years of a bad franchise vs 7 years of a good one that he took over. I won’t derail the thread with this topic but wanted to make that point
  5. He took one of the best run franchises in sports and ruined every single aspect of it from top to bottom. Im not mad about Snell not being signed, I just can’t believe what this old f**k has done to my favorite sports franchise
  6. I agree with all of this. Let the kids play but get some major league depth in here in the event they don’t take the next step and or injuries happen. Martinez and a starting pitcher would be a huge boost to this team going into the regular season. I love Trout, he’s my favorite player of all time but I’m just not sold on him playing 150 and not going into any extended slumps. He’s getting to the age where the injuries and games played are going to start to hit the stat line, unfortunately.
  7. I’ve became a little pessimistic about the overall outlook of the team. I was feeling a little better at the start of spring but the lack of offense has worried me. I’m not even sure signing Snell and losing the pick is worth it at this point. roll with what you got and let the rebuild play out. Stephenson, Estevez, Drury, Ward, Sandoval, etc can all be dealt at the deadline if they are having solid seasons. Let Schaunel, Neto, Rengifo, Moniak, Adell, O’hoppe etc take their lumps and build a good core.
  8. That’s why I wanted them to snag JD Davis. It made way too much sense to have insurance at 1st and 3rd and also a good bat. oh well
  9. Normally we have the offense cookin in spring training and it at least gives you some optimism. I saw we were being 1 hit through 6 innings today I agree with your assessment of the offense and I really don’t wanna see Mike Trout decline but get the vibe he is going to take some time to get rolling
  10. The offense has flat out been ass all spring. im not feeling super comfortable with any aspect of this team right now.
  11. It was kinda dumb in all honestly for the exact reason you stated. Im sure it’s an attempt to get a little more hype for a spring game but really nobody cared any more for it.
  12. I did. I was just commenting on the Indian wells tournament being less busy than normal lol
  13. Indian wells was a dud this year. The stands were empty and usually the desert restaurants are busy, not much this year.
  14. To break up all the Snell talk, check out this sick vintage Angels jacket I scored on eBay.
