Jackson is playing SS and Paris is playing 2nd. Reports had it that Jackson is better suited for 3rd or 2nd and that Paris should stick at SS.

As of May 8, Bonilla is listed on the injured list.

The Angels are turning to Cuba for their future catcher. First it is Edgar Quero, signed this year and Jonathan Linares next year.

Noticed that in Low A and A ball the Angels are letting two pitchers pitch the game. The starter going 5 innings and the other going 4 innings.

Suzuki supported Trump.

Enjoy. 

Politics  should not be involved in sports. It should be an escape from reality for a few hours.

I cannot remember the last time I saw an Angels first base man run so far into right field to catch a fly ball.

Albert going into the HOF is comparable to Ken Griffey Jr getting in. Both will be enshrined for the first 10 years of their career not the second decade.

The second decade of Ken Griffey Jr. was marred with injuries. Albert's second decade was playing at replacement level and supplementing to his career numbers as a Cardinal.

I do not believe Albert should be inducted into the HOF in the first ballot. Albert was a replacement level player during his Angels tenure. I do not know what kind of value you give Albert for him mentoring Mike Trout

Imagine if Adell, Marsh, AND Adams all turn out to be stars?

If the is the case, then we have the dilemma we had when we had Edmonds, Erstat, Salmon and Anderson. Who de we trade?

If Adell is going to take that long to develop, Adams will pass him and be the starting outfielder. Trade Adell for a potential #1 starting pitcher.

So where do you put Adell in three years, if Adams in center, Trout in left, Marsh in right and Walsh at first?

If your talking two years for Jo  Adell, Jordyn Adams will be the starting center fielder with Mike Trout in left field and Brandon Marsh in right field in two or three years.  

Joe Rock round 2.

Bundy wins cy young

Rendon wins mvp

Angels win AL west

Angels loose world series to Padres in 7

Trout has a poor playoff

Walsh is mvp in american league championship series

Barria wins 21 games 

Yan world series mvp

It is great to read about these guys. But do you hoard them like Bill Stoneman did and not win.  Or do we trade these assets to become better and win now with Trout and Rendon in their prime?

Mind you, only 10% of baseball players signed make it to the majors even for just a September call up.

Mark Gubicza and Bob Boone

Bobby Valentine and Vlad Guerrero

I would trade Musgrove for Adell straight up. Musgrove is a middle of rotation starter now with potential to improve on that. At the moment, Adell is a question mark. The Angels need good pitching. Musgrove will give you that now. Adell maybe a star or maybe just a quality regular. The Trout, Rendon.... window is closing. Sign or trade for another middle of the rotation starter and the Angels have the potential to be in the playoffs and maybe even win the world series.     

Bauer to Angels

Realmuto to Angels

Marquez to Angels

Blackmon to Angels

Hand to Angels

I know this is not realistic, but if it did happen, everyone played to career norms,stayed healthy and the team gelled it should get them to the world series.  

Trevor Bauer may be an ace, but he seems to be a douche bag and character matters to Perry Minasian.

Jose Soriano has not pitched above Low A, the odds of him making it to the majors is still remote. Sure the Pirates may end up keeping him, but you do not know how well he will recover from TJ surgery.

How is Ha-seong Kim's defense? Chuck's comment even stated "The big question is whether Kim can play shortstop in the majors, as there's been some chatter that he might have to move to third or second base." Everyone here is clamoring about his offense. Fletcher is not Simmons defensively where the Angles could use Simmons great defense to cover for a second or third base mans defensive flaws.
