    You are mixing up different things.  If Montgomery had a draft pick loss attached to him NOW (he already doesn’t) then a team could get around that by waiting to sign until the draft.
    If Montgomery waits to sign until after the season opens, he will also again not have a draft pick loss attached to him NEXT year in his NEXT free agency.
    At least that’s how I understand it.

    If Moreno gets fired up and motivated over unfinished business, then somebody needs to redirect him to be fired up and focused on the unfinished business of selling the team.

    One position player that came through the Angels development pipeline since 2003 has/had accumulated more than 15 WAR.  
    280 position players have accumulated 15 WAR or more in the last 21 years.  
    There have been 3 pitchers in that category.  
    173 pitchers have accumulated 15 WAR in the last 21 years.  
    Let's do some silly math for a second.  450 players and 30 teams or 15 players per team.  So the halos are 11 short.  At 15 wins a piece that's 165 wins below average over the last 21 seasons.  
    Obviously, there's probably a fair number of holes in that calc, but the raw numbers speak to the catastrophe that is supposed to be the lifeblood of every major league franchise.  
    To me, the discussion about how this franchise has been run the last two decades starts and ends with this.  You don't start averaging 75 wins a season for almost a decade out of nowhere.  It starts years in advance of that.

    It’s more the injury history that led to only two seasons with over 130 innings.
    Other than those two Cy Young seasons, he made more than 24 starts only once, and that was 27 starts.

    I just don’t see the Angels going into the season with this rotation.  They are going to add somebody to the rotation right??

    Well there is something to be said for rearranging the chairs on the Titanic.  Might as well make the BEST of your situation and get as comfortable as you can if the final outcome is inevitable.
