Dick-pic Mick? No thanks. He only lasted 33 games in Mexico...

My first, and only, Angels home games were June 14 and 15, 1986 against the Royals. I loved that team. I remember Wally Joyner hit a home run in that Saturday game and Halos won 6-5. Looking up the box score on BR tells me Don Sutton pitched 6+ innings and Doug DeCinces also homered. The Angels lost the Sunday game 6-5 and all I remember from that game is Dan Quisenberry coming in to close the game for the Royals. I don't know how many hours I spent in the backyard imitating his funky sidearm delivery. Great memories!

Official 2021 MLB draft thread
East Coast Bias replied to Docwaukee's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Looks like Perry's computer is stuck on autodraft, someone better let him know. -
Official 2021 MLB draft thread

Select a college pitcher, and only a college pitcher, apparently. -
The Mets seem like the strongest candidate for Springer, their new owner is intent on spending money. They just fired their GM this morning though so things may be slower on that front. Cohen reminds me of Arti though, seems like he'll get involved when he wants something!

Griffin Canning getting an MRI on his elbow
East Coast Bias replied to Chuck's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Honest question, when Canning was shut down last August for the season with elbow inflammation, wouldn't the team have evaluated it then throughout the offseason? Maybe the issue worsened as Canning worked out over the last 3 months and it became a significant issue this week. Maybe the two are unrelated but it doesn't seem the case. Same thing happened with the Yankee's Paxton where they tried painkillers for 3 months before opting for back surgery. I'm not sure how involved the team is with players between seasons, anyone have insight? -
Came across this Ringer.com article which provides a good summary of the Angels offseason and prospects for 2020. Wish more was done to shore up the pitching woes but I can't wait to see this offense in action. Go Halos! https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2020/1/8/21056186/los-angeles-angels-pitching-needs-julio-teheran-dylan-bundy-mike-trout-anthony-rendon

Great and amazing news going into the season!! After Harper signed, I thought this might happen but didn't hear anything for a few weeks. Second best day in Angels baseball history!!! ? -
Breaking: Arenado signs extension with Rockies 8/$255+
East Coast Bias replied to jordan's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
A Trout-Arenado-Ohtani core would have been nice to dream about but glad he is staying in Colorado. Agree that this could be a Trout contract road map... -
Agreed, it's a fair question. It's kind of like the situation the Cardinals were in with Pujols. Do you break the bank for a home grown, once in a generation talent and limit payroll options for 10 years? I'd be much more inclined to do it for Trout though as Pujols was 32 when he came to the Halos and Trout is only 27 now. Much less of a chance of being stung by the back end of that deal! To me, he's the one guy in MLB you do it for.

Surprising but good for the Padres. Phillies likely finish the Harper deal now that Machado signed then hopefully a Trout extension. Wonder what the reactions are over at PadresWin.com?

Hi all, came across this article today on The Ringer on how Kole came back from the dead. Pretty good read: https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2018/8/9/17666160/kole-calhoun-los-angeles-angels-cold-start-hot-hitting

Bartolo Colon’s double life with secret family
East Coast Bias replied to gotbeer's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Should only be used in reference to John Lackey though... -

I'd go with: Griffey (Lock) Piazza Bagwell Hoffman Will be interesting to see if Griffey is the first unanimous choice. Still on the fence about Bonds and Clemens but their talent would have gotten them into the Hall without the PEDs, especially Bonds....
