You're doing yeoman's work here, @Stradling. It'll fall on mostly deaf ears here, because, well, fuck 'em. They knew what they were getting into. If you can legally get away with not doing well for their employees, then by-god, why not?

That reads as Baseball knowing how to get to many minor league affiliates. A road map, if you will. #grammarcounts

Do they serve Taco Bell to the minor leaguers? /crossthread

These are only terrible conditions that hamper the development of champion athletes. At least this story isn't about an employee supplying deadly drugs to our partying pitcher. So the organization is making progress.

https://www.latimes.com/sports/angels/story/2021-07-23/angels-minor-leaguers-housing-advocacy-group Angels general manager Perry Minasian released a statement Friday afternoon vowing to address the situation. “What is being reported is unacceptable, and we will look into it and address it,” Minasian said.

I lived it 35 years ago, and see what my young adult kids face today. Look at your rent/mortgage as a percent of your income from 1987, and look at it today. That's as good a starting point as any. Then get back to me.

I have a bootstraps story that rivals any here. I consider it poor form to use this board as a bragging point. And it was so much easier 35 years ago to be financially independent than it is for young people today. NONE of the bootstrap stories here are relevant. This whole thread should be about what the Angels are not doing to put their players in a position to succeed. It's pathetic.

MAYBE one percent. Rates 'caught fire' a couple years ago, and got up to 2%-ish https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DTB3 Current savings rate at Bank of America for something called a Platinum Rate is .03% https://www.bankrate.com/banking/savings/bank-of-america-savings-rates/ You can compound any way you like, $400,000 (and he never ever had $400,000 - after taxes and agents, he probably had closer to $275k) - anyway, even at the mythical $400,000, he will earn $120 this year. Before taxes.

Oh for fuck's sake.

Oh for fuck's sake.

Jesus man, when @Angel Oracle needs to come in here and be the voice of reason, it shows how ridiculous some of you are. Nobody cares about how some of you walked uphill in the snow to and from school, and you had two jobs, grandpas. Its about (as AO is the first to point out) this organization doesn't set up its players to succeed. Training, nutrition, sleep. Good organizations set their players up to succeed by providing the right things.

I swear i feel like some board members are stuck in a 1987 time warp. Do you know what savings interest rates - compounded - have been in the last 10 years?

Our team wore this for years.

I was on a frigging island arguing here about the name change. Me on the board and Chad out on some corner on Katella. There was practically universal approval on this board.

Guardians is a local thing, right?

Fans of the team with the hands-down, worst, most bastardized, red-headed stepchild name in North America are complaining about the Indian's new logo. You can't make this crap up.

never gets old

Personal, I'd go with 'kids with terminal cancer' but to each his own.

I like the "and idaho" part

I wonder who the Indianswin.com's version of Light The Halo is to tell the board that the controversy will last a month or two, then you'll never hear about it again.

I'm not much for the name, but the logo is sweet

A bunch of Los Angeles/California/Anaheim/of Anaheim/Los Angeles fans commenting about a name change. Oh, that is rich!
