Hubs

I am the OP. And to be clear, Ive been posting for 18 years on this site. 
Nevin has utterly totally sucked as a manager. The buck stops with him, and I seriously doubt that Maddon would have this team in the same position. I understood why they fired him and I liked him being protective of Trout with the Mariners, but he's gone 16-30 in 46 games. That's worse than any stretch I can remember.
He seems to make weird choices like playing Marsh defensively in Left, when Trout has been out, and playing the worst CF of the three OF (Ward) in CF. Then he'll try something else.
His relief pitching decisions are baffling even to someone who watched Maddon for two seasons. Iglesias should never pitch in tie games. Ever. Peguero sucks in close games too. 
The lineup is questionable. The defensive positioning is questionable. Players have long slumps hitting wise and they just keep grinding. Walsh's swing is so messed up right now and Marsh is striking out more than 40% of the time under Nevin. 
Players must've been told to take more pitches, and they are watching strike three too often.
Pinch hitting is questionable. 
He has too quick of a hook with starters. Mound visits are non-existent. 
Scioscia had his faults, but these last three plus seasons have shown that maybe we all thought he was worse than he was.
 
 
 
 

Agreed.

Agreed.

Agreed.

I think it's gonna be committee this year, Tepera/Loup/Quijada/Ortega/Chavez all probably get 2-3 save opportunities down the stretch.
Then it's a battle in camp next year.

It sounds like you are rooting against him.
You're a pessimist and a troll and it gets irritating.

Aaron Judge come on down. You're the next veteran signee for Arte Moreno!

He's the #50 ranked prospect on Fangraphs in all of baseball. 
 

I agree that we have all sorts of options, but a lot of those guys you have listed are either unproven, injury prone, or have not done much so far with playing time.
If we legitimately want to contend, I would think you'd want at least one legit significant FA SP addition to pair with Ohtani at the top of the rotation.  So - Ohtani, SP2, Sandoval, Detmers, and then hope that you get two guys that emerge amidst all the options you listed.
Our bullpen, of course, also needs significant work, too.
I don't disagree that we need offensive support, too.  Truth be told, this team needs a lot of work, which is perhaps why we decided to trade Iglesias.  There's no need for an expensive closer on a 4 year deal when you aren't on the verge of contention.

I actually think they may just bring back Lorenzen. They have pitching depth. 

Again, think you're pretty much wrong on all of those, but ok.

Jadiel Sanchez? WTF?
One failed former first overall pick, a top catching prospect, a Low A OF 
for Marsh And Syndergaard?
This is a terrible return.

The simulator is probably harsh on relievers. Raisel maxes out at 2 WAR potential - which is about breaking even at $16M a year.

The only way they sign Ohtani before the season is if they go big. He wants to win.

Angels Real Payroll:
Rendon 38M, Trout 37?, Loup 7.5, Tepera 7, Stassi, 7, Fletcher 6. TOTAL 102.5
Arbitration Eligible
Ohtani (3rd), Barria (1st), Walsh (1st), Ward (Super 2), Maybe Canning (1), Sandoval (1). Total will be like $30.
Everyone else is under club control.

what the fuck is this trade 

I wanted Cavan Biggio.

Ok, you're now officially smoking crack. 
 

Pujols had 11 intentional walks. 
Ohtani has 10.
You can stop now.
