  1. I think it’s either C-Rod or Soriano going the other way, unfortunately. Still a trade I really like
  2. Eppler has been good this offseason. Really good. He’s put us in contention IMO
  3. Damn. Well that definitely makes it more puzzling. Time will tell what’s going to happen. I guess I won’t be surprised by anything
  4. Does anyone know if he has proven he can play 1st? I’m joining this conversation late and have been out of the baseball loop most of the offseason (since we got Rendon).
  5. I get that this is slightly puzzling but I’m a huge fan of adding Pedersons power and patience to the lineup against righties. We needed a lefty bat BADLY. If he can play 1st it would be huge too Pederson 1B Trout CF Rendon 3B Ohtani DH Upton LF Simmons SS Adell RF Castro C Fletcher 2B thats a lineup as good as anyone in baseball
  6. This is a classic baseball fan thread. Clamor for a dude to be on your team for 5 straight months. when he signs with a different team: “that guys a huge prick!”
  7. Did you sleep through the signing of Anthony Rendon? this team can’t afford to give up the package the cubs want for Bryant, nor should they
  8. I disagree. As currently constructed, the Angels staff is a total disaster. You’ve got injury prone Ohtani as your ace. And Canning as your number 2. Then you’ve got a mostly mediocre Heaney as your 3. Bundy is average at best and probably below avg Thats fucking awful. the acquisition of 2 starters is a must, just to make the pitching staff respectable even
  9. I’m happy the angels stayed away. Get Kuechel and one more starter
  10. I will reserve judgement until the end of the offseason but this feels like a missed opportunity
  11. it Only would make sense if you can get a big haul for Simmons to replace some of the prospects you would be giving up i don’t really see Cleveland wanting Andrelton
  12. I’d love Jon Gray, but only if he’s the 2nd best pitcher we are acquiring. Ryu/Kuechel + Gray would be pretty solid and give us some upside. although I still think we should go get Kluber
  13. La Stella 1B Trout CF Rendon 3B Ohtani DH Upton LF Adell/Goodwin RF simmoms SS Catcher TBD fletcher 2B going to score a lot of runs, particularly if Upton bounces back and Adell is in ROY conversation
  14. I expect at least 3 or 4 of the listed players to not be with the Angels organization when Spring Training starts
  15. Kluber and Kuechel. Castro or Maldonado weve come this far, don’t be cheap now
  16. Hopefully the Astros get penalized big time for the cheating and the Angels make a run at the west. I don’t want to fuck with the wild card if we don’t have to obviously
  17. I’m willing to bet that not only will he be ready by May, he will instantly step in and out produce Kole Calhoun. i don’t usually say such things about young players but this isn’t the average prospect. The other guys in the system have way more question marks
  18. I’m not sure I agree here. That is a solid rotation but not spectacular at all to me
  19. No way in hell do you bring him back with Adell ready by May. Goodwin will be the opening day right fielder and then will slide to the 4th OF role. The Angels also have Marsh who could be ready by july, although there’s about a 40% chance he’s traded
  20. Getting Rendon allows us to be content with a poor hitting catcher. Truly a game changer And yeah @Stradling I bet you never thought you’d hear this out of me but I’m now fine bringing maldo back
  21. And no, this isn’t the singular piece to make them a WS contender. But we’re way closer to contention now than we were last night. The Angels had to do this, I don’t give a fuck about the price. We’ve experienced too many losing hopeless seasons to cry about overpaying by 3 million per year
  22. Amazing job by Billy and Arte. This makes the Angels an offensive power house. Check that box. Time to get pitching. I’m hyped
