Nobody hates the Dodgers more than I do. I was just comparing the Angels to an obvious local team than wins far more games and controls far more talent on their roster and in their minor league system. I would agree the Braves are a well run team too. Heck I like how the Padres are willing to make bold moves. I would take that too. But the bottom line is I really want the Angels to find a way to be among to top 20% of teams in terms of drafting and developing players. Things seem better recently but I suspect the Angels need changes at the very top to really approach what I would ideally like to see.

Just for the record, I think Moreno isn’t the right owner for this team. I would prefer that he sell the team to somebody else that would run it more like the Dodgers are run. I am excited that baseball is starting again but this exact roster isn’t very exciting to me. The optimist does see that there is some real upside that could materialize and make them much better than expected (and subsequently far more exciting). But my enthusiasm is very guarded and reserved until I see something materializing on the field.

And all these opinions about this situation without any real idea what the player and his agent are currently demanding the contract be. Are they still demanding a stupid contract? Or are they willing to do a totally reasonable deal but Moreno is being a moron? We don’t know. Every team has a budget. And every team might adjust the budget depending on how opportunities evolve. If Moreno originally said “absolutely not” to a massive long term deal, and now Minasian has to stay engaged with Moreno on things as they evolve into maybe there being a different opportunity on Snell, it sure would be easy to report that as “Minasian frustrated with Moreno’s unwillingness to sign the player Minasian wants to sign.” Moreno has definitely earned his reputation so he is going to get thrown under the bus now on everything. Because he is going to get thrown under the bus on EVERYTHING, it isn’t really possible anymore to know when he is actually being a jerk. Maybe he is being a jerk. And maybe he is openly communicating with Minasian on adjusting the budget as things are developing. We don’t know.

This is the best Angels off-season in a while

So just to be clear, Lorenzen is “depth” and Snell would prevent someone else from developing? -

Tell me exactly what young player would not develop if the Angels signed Snell. You do understand that signing Snell would just push one pitcher to the minors, where they would be in an environment whose sole purpose is to develop them. And you are in another thread literally right now calling for the Angels to sign Lorenzen. Can you make up your mind on whether or not signing a free agent starter prevents others from developing? -
The WNBA team could also just change their name to the Airballs. Then they could market the game experience as “come see airballs and broads.” Then AirBnB steps up for naming rights to the arena. . . Schedule as many homes games as possible on Tuesdays to promote Taco Tuesdays, etc. Maybe get creative like the tacos come with more and more cheese as the game progresses, etc. It all comes together logically pretty quickly.

That’s actually funny. I didn’t see the 2022. I stand well corrected. It took sam’s guardian almost a year and a half to react.

No what’s weird is commenting on this five months later. Weird.
