Wieters, err Bor-arse, better lower his demands.   Otherwise, he may be waiting until June.

His CERA is why.

How Jeff Mathis keeps getting major league jobs is one of life's great mysteries.

Always partial to the one Jerome is wearing.

The fact that he has been able to improve both the minor league system and the big league club while living within significant budgetary restraints is impressive.

RIP. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family

Screw Montreal, they no longer exist and like you said, he won an MVP with us and made more playoff appearances than with any other team (none of which were with Montreal). 
Lastly, he had one of the best hits in his career against the Boston Red Sox in ALDS back in '09.

Sweet! That is really great for the team honestly. Excellent deal!!!! Gives Kole financial security the rest of his life as well! Well DONE EPPLER!

Three years, buying out his remaining arb seasons, with an option for his first FA year.

Fletch with the specifics:

I expect Weiters to be GONE before we make a move.
This is the period where GMs are eyeing FAs and each other, hands held above their sidearms. Someone will draw before Moreno/Eppler.

Is that from Dean Womer's office?

That's the LA Rams season in a nutshell screwed up.

You could add sorry for the Craig on the tshirt

Watched the movie Sicaro on a plane. What an intense flick!

Yeah it's dope

The Giants drafted Lincecum 10th in 06, Bumgarner 10th in 07 and Posey 4th in 08. They then won the WS in 10, 12, 14.
The only key members of their future WS teams who were in the organization prior to drafting Lincecum were Cain, Wilson and Sandoval.
They went from being terrible, with a terrible farm system, in 07 to winning the first of 3 WS in 5 years in 2010.
The 07 Giants were in worse shape than the current Angels.
I covered the Giants then. The franchise was just a vehicle for Bonds with no foundation around him.
This was a team that once gave away a draft pick because they didn't want to spend the money on the draft. (Long story.  Google Michael Tucker.)
As for the Angels improving enough to keep Trout, it's not like they have to win the WS by 2020 to keep him. If they just make the playoffs a couple times and are showing promise by the end of 2019, they would have a good shot at keeping him if winning is his primary goal. If he really just wants to be close to home (and I have no indication that matters to him that much) then it doesn't matter.
EDIT: I don't mean for this to be some rosey optimistic look at the Angels situation. Only to illustrate that four years is a lot of time to change things.
