Also Marsh has just 28 games at AAA, and Adell has only 73 last season and 27 the season before that. I would not be surprised to see one traded or to see one (probably Marsh) start the year at AAA.
 

Adell hit .246 with a .295 OBP and Marsh hit .254 with a .317 OBP. If you think they're not gonna bounce up and down in 2021, you're mistaken.
I still really believe in these guys and hope they start the majority of games in the OF (along with Trout) in 2022, but they're not gonna start 145+ games each on a team yearning to reach the playoffs and carrying a high 190M's payroll, and likely exceeding the tax. 
In 2023 yes, but not in 2022. I'd bet one will start in the majors and one in the minors. By June or July they will be the full time OF...but not in April.
 
 

Upton is still really good against lefties. Also, while Marsh and Adell feel ready for prime time,  they haven't set the world on fire yet. There is still a chance one or both ends up struggling enough to get demoted. I'd be surprised if Upton wasn't still getting regular at bats in August.

I disagree about Rendon. In 2020 he’d have had a 6 WAR season if it had been full length and then he was hurt in 21. 

You could have stopped here. 🙂 

Yep, he was second in the AL in OPS.  

I think he’ll end up having success away from Coors just like DJ LeMaheiu and Matt Holiday.

I'm sure you guys know this, but the one guy I don't want any part of is Correa. Sure he was a high draft pick and is talented. But he's injury prone, (played in 148 and 58/60 the past two years, but before that was at 75, 110, and 109 games played) and more importantly, he cheated, was one of the ring leaders along with Midget McGee, wasn't punished, so he continued to cheat, and I don't want any part of a guy like that on my favorite team.

This. I think Lorenzen is a good depth piece, Syndergaard is a frontline guy, and a guy like Stroman or Castillo is just bonus.
But I want the bonus. And I want Iglesias.
I'm torn though between Stroman and Iglesias or say Taylor, Castillo, and Iglesias.

RE: Arte 
You can say he isn't building the team right, but with the 7th highest payroll in baseball, I don't see that you can say he hasn't spent.
He has signed the largest contract in baseball history (Trout), the 14th (Rendon), the 16th (Pujols), The 49th (Trout), the 70th (Hamilton), and the 95th (Upton).
Having 6 contracts in the top 100 of all time is more than double what it would've been if it was divided equally.

I feel so dumb just waiting for the Angels to make a move before the lockout.

No, but I think he caught 54 games last season in AAA and supposedly did a good job defensively. If Stassi went down they'd have to acquire a catcher and keep Thaiss at the 65-75 Games Caught.
They could've brought him up in July and given him the everyday 3B job with Rendon out, but they didn't. 
The Angels backup catchers have been Suzuki, Castro/Bemboom, Kevan Smith/Dustin Garneau/Bemboom, Briceño/Rivera/Arcia, Graterol/Perez, Jett Bandy/Graterol/Soto.
None of these guys wow me. Since the Mathis/Napoli days, they've really only had three good catchers in Stassi, Maldonado, and Iannetta. The backups are usually no names and nobody's. 
Thaiss can be a good platoon partner for Stassi, and they can have Chad Wallach or a Bemboom type at AAA ready if needed.
No reason to spend here when they need a starting SS and more pitching.
 

So you guys are so butthurt that you now want to trade Ohtani?

This is all pretty ridiculous. 
 
The Angels have no SS and they have an owner with a lot of money who has signed big name players before. So it’s pretty easy to just guess and say “the Angels are in!” And then you can hedge it by saying “the deal isn’t close.” So what the hell are you actually reporting?
I also like the one guy’s comment about his “source” burning him before. If you have a source who has burned you even once, you don’t have a source.

Mikolas for STL.
 

Taylor (5/80), Iglesias (4/56), and a trade for Castillo (7.5)
(Canning or Barria, Adell or Marsh, Jackson or Paris, Bachman) would be a great way to finish the offseason.
12/12/7.5 = 31M.

This is completely fixable.
No strike or lock-out required. I think the economy and cost of living issues right now (and for the past several years) plus the growing distaste for the Uber-wealthy, make a work stoppage a really difficult proposal for either side.
OK, so biggest issue is revenue split. Revenues are approaching 11 billion annually while average player salaries are falling.
How is this corrected?
MLBPA wants raises in minimum salary, quicker arbitration, service time adjustments, earlier free agency, and changes to the draft order. They're also in favor of the universal DH.
Owners want a lower luxury tax threshold, increase in penalties, changing service time to age based, soft salary floor, an arbitration pool of funds, disallowing tanking teams to continue to draft highly, expanded playoffs, international draft.
Ok, so here's the fix. 
Revenues and Luxury Tax.
 Mandate Owners spend a specific portion of previous years revenues on player salaries. This percentage will set the upcoming tax and floor levels. Allow team to self report revenues, but allow team by team audits if revenues decrease by a certain percentage. Base this on TV contracts and gate revenues only. Give players a bonus if they don't reach percentage as a whole, to be paid equally to all players and by all teams.
Lower the minimum salary for first year players but increase it for second and increase it again for three years of service or greater. Something like 550K for rookies, 650k for second year, and 750k for third year or greater. Tie this dollar value to a specific percentage of revenues.
Arbitration and Service Time.
Give players salary arbitration at completion of two full years of service or in their third calendar season in the majors. Exclude one Sept. Call up from service time. Meaning a player called up in 2021 in Sept, will still have to play 2022 and 2023 before arbitration. Give them free agency at 5 years of service or at age 29 which ever comes first. 
Base arbitration salary on WAR as in MLB's current proposal. Tie amount of Money per WAR to percentage of revenues.
Draft and Free Agency Compensation
Allow trading of draft picks. Allow international draft. Give a weighted draft lottery to all non-playoff teams like NBA, but also mandate minor league signing bonus by draft slot like the NFL does. Expand draft back to 40 rounds or do two separate drafts for international and USA.
Get rid of qualifying offer. Tie compensation for free agents to WAR value and add picks based on free agency loss and free agency gain per team. Base on previous two seasons of WAR. Mets Lose Noah Syndergaard, Marcus Stroman and Javier Baez, but sign Kris Bryant and Robbie Ray? Average the WAR lost = Additional end of second round pick. Blue Jays lose Semien and Ray but sign Taylor? Compensation is end of first round pick.
Playoffs, Expansion, and DH
Allow expanded playoffs, 7 teams per league at 30 teams, but 8 teams if league expands to 32 teams. Realign divisions to 4  per league if expansion occurs.
Allow DH in both leagues.

And apparently, that account no longer exists, lol.  Hopefully that was just one big joke/ruse.

He did post that he was about to have a kid. So that’s probably why.
