You complain about all these years of mediocrity, and yet very consistently you seem to exclusively want to either pursue mediocre players or hope unproven players levels up to being mediocre?
It’s miserable to be mediocre but make every decision that fits a plan to be mediocre?
It’s kind of a head shaker.
 

Are you talking about signing Snell, or resolving the stadium issue, or Arte selling the team, or the broadcast contract situation, or the health of Rendon and Trout, or Minasian’s contract, or finding out if Jo Adell is a player or a bust, or if Schanuel can drive the ball at the major league level, or if there will be shrinkflation in the dippin dots servings this year?

The social event shindig on Saturday was something I really wanted to go to but luck of the calendar just didn’t go my way.  I am hosting a family event next weekend for a wedding.
There is no way I am getting away with, “Sorry honey I am going to miss the family event and go drink beer with people I technically have never actually met.”
I am sorry to miss a good opportunity to meet people face-to-face.
Hopefully next year.

The official commitment is now in place, but he doesn’t get laid until 2034.

It’s painful to listen to him.  He’s perfect for a 9 year old passionate fan that innocently loves the team, and that’s kind of it.
I would compare his purpose and role to like a Mall Santa Claus.

Mathematically, isn’t losing a negative WAR player addition by subtraction?

You could have just stopped at Ohtani, since none of the others really contributed much, if anything at all.  Moustakas and Cron were below replacement level during their time with the Angels, Grichuk was barely above, and Stassi didn't play at all.  Replacing their value isn't hard at all: quite literally almost anyone can do it. 

I believe the moves they have made support the theory that they either did, or still do, want to add a quality starter.  If they don’t sign one, it will be because the price was way outside what they think the price should be.
And given that nobody has signed Snell or Montgomery, it makes sense that maybe it’s because the asking price is outside of what everybody believes it should be.
If the price doesn’t change, it seems like Angels won’t be the team that signs one of them.  If it does soften, I believe the Angel might be the team that acts.

We have to accept the reality of what this roster is today.
This is not a roster to “rebuild.” It’s already pretty darn young, already with lots of guys with upside and controllable years.
If they want to win, this is a roster to add to.
Whether they can or will add to it remains to be seen.
But if they can’t add to this roster, calling for a rebuild as a reaction to the bland, uneventful offseason fully ignores what this roster actually is today.
The next best thing to do outside of adding to this roster is to just wait and let this group develop.
Unless people have a different definition of “rebuild” than me, I just don’t understand the call to rebuild.
