Gerrit Cole?

I'm sure the 700 listeners will be outraged. 

This board has become an all-Arte waste land in your absence. It is believed that soon after you left, a type of pro-Arte mania has spread and is only getting worse. 

Factions have begun to splinter the movement, however. Stradling is crowdfunding a golden Arte statue in Long Beach in an effort to get him to move the team, while inside Pitch moved to Los Vegas, gambling away his fortune in an ill-fated attempt to win enough money to build a stadium there. TDawg and Lou have begun working their way up the corporate ladder at Del Taco, only sending the occasional cryptic text to provide updates. However, they are both have to take so many opiates to deal with the pain of working in Del Taco's cooperate offices that their messages are gibberish and no one knows what their goals or methods are. 
Meanwhile, It was revealed in a court filing by the ATF that Chuck moved only to open his new compound -- called "Heavens Home Plate Gate "-- and has appointed Second Base and Blarg as his priests. They further allege that Rodondo is going to be sacrificed at the opening of the compound, though Chuck -- sorry, HIGH PRIEST AND KEEPER OF THE RELICS Chuck -- has denied these rumors, insisting that he would never sacrifice a human, would only offer a racoon or turtle or, at worst, Taylor as his offering. 
Thank God you have come back to restore order.

Hopefully not terrible website owner reasons. 😬

That’s funny from someone with a Chelsea avatar 

Minasian needs to extend Philips

Orlando Palmeiro.

He’s one of the prospects I’m most excited to see this season. I’m anxious to see if he continues his second-half success from last season.
The K% is high, but he’s also so, so young. Also, hopefully he can stay healthy and play a full season.

It’s not the same without Trout, Ohtani and Ward, but we might have had some worse lineups last year during the regular season.

not too good of strikes

If he can get Marte to throw strikes, the stuff is there.

If Loup would just maintain enough control, especially not falling behind in the count, maybe he would have a solid 2023?   Doesn’t give up a lot of hits, and only 5 HRs (and 91 hits) in past 115.1 inn.

This org has treated Barria like trash. He deserves the 6th spot. 

Assuming I were a Billionaire and the owner of the Angels, I would offer 6 years, 330 Million (55 Per year) -- with an opt outs in year 3 and 5. You can fudge the numbers here and make it look like a 10 year, 500 Million + offer, but in reality its almost certainly going to be a 3-5 year deal. 
From Ohtani's perspective, he would probably want to do something like Machado did and get paid twice. The two opt outs give him the chance to either reach Free Agency at age 31 or  stick around with Trout and the gang if we are (still?) winning while hitting the market in his age 33 season -- which is realistically the last shot he'll get at the really big bucks. 
For the Angels, 3-4 seasons is really the window we are looking at before Trout's decline begins in earnest AND Rodon's contract becomes a real an albatross. The double opt outs give us insurance in case things fall apart this year and/or next year while also setting us up for a decent trade if Trout really starts to slow down. 
 
 

more of a switch batter.  

Essentially Buxton, but with just passable defense.

... lol

I didn't say multiple, just one quality secondary pitch whether it a be a change or curveball, just so long as hitters have to think it may not be 102 coming at them. 

The real reason Arte kept the team?
