If we get the Tropeano from the 12th of this month it will be a pitcher duel tomorrow. Hope Nitro has his A game face.

Parker, Middleton and Paredes, I'd rather see Paredes since he's fresh

I'm not sold on your next 10 posts adding value here either. 

Why is Kalhoun being interviewed? Did Skaggs not bring his translator?

Joyce now responsible for more Angels wins than when he was actually on our roster..........

I knew Joyce had it in him the whole time. 

The health part is all I'm worried about.

Yeah well their team bus was pretty impressive.

Thought I'd make a separate thread tracking Eppler's moves this off-season so that we can reflect on it at a later date. If you see an inaccuracy let me know in the thread and I'll modify it if incorrect:

He must’ve gotten too close to Angel  Stadium!

Plus when we have Barria waiting why need a starter. We need one good back end reliever and were good depending on moves the team makes with the Arb players and if any of them get moved or not.

With those numbers, if they keep going the way they are, he could be at Nolasco numbers at year three. Pass.

Its funny that the same time japanese guys dont want to go there, dudes there want to leave and go to japan.

I think it's going to be a to more effective if we strengthen the bullpen.  A couple of veterans there are cheaper than signing Arrieta, and the length of the contract would not be quite as onerous.
