I'm pretty sure Pujols stopped giving a shit in the last few years off his contract and only worried about hitting Hr. One he got DFA, He started to care. 

For Canning the stuff has always been there, for me it has always been about limiting the homerun ball. The stuff is there for him to be  a 2/3. 
My predicition for him will be:
24G, 11-6, 3.56 Era in 134 innings.

It's not a gut feeling, its more off an Arte-like move. Hopefully not. 

Honesty I would round this the BP by signing Robertson. Bring in that veteran experiences and a guy that can close. 

I would not be surprise if they let Bregman leave. I think there focus will be to resign the other 3

I guess 3 more days until Arte decides to spend or not....
 
 
 
....of note, say a rumor that stated that Boras is asking for 270mil over 9 years for Snell....... If it's true, he played himself and Snell 

There no doubt that he has a good fastball with high spin that can hit 96/97. But most of the time it'll be in the 92-95 range and hitters adjust. I feels like he needs to pitch in the entire strike zone, move his pitches around and throw more of that plus-plus curve to offset his Fastball and Slider. 

I going to say that Rada and Dana will both be in the top 50 by mid-season. I also think that Dana will be our top prospect, followed by Rada and then Kent.
By Mid-season;
       Dana will show that he has the upside of a #2 
       With Grades: Fastball (60), Curve: (60), Change (55), Slider 50, Command (50) Overall: 55 
       Comp: Corbin Burnes 
      Ceiling: #2
Rada: 
   Will be a table setting and an ideal lead-off hitter with 30+ SB. 
   Grades: Hit (60), power (40), Run (65), Def (55) Overall 55 
    Comp: Jacoby Ellsbury 
Kent
   I'm going to sneak Kent in as well. Reports have been that he worked on strength and conditiong, mostly in the lower half this offseason. He has       4 average to above-average pitches that could improved. Can't wait to see how he does. 
  Grades Fastball (55), Slider (55), Change (50), Curve (45), Command (50), Overall 50 
 
Surprises: 
Mederos;
   His brief cup of coffee reminded me a lot of how G-Rich's went. I bring up G-rich as Mederos stuff and commands reminds me a lot of Richards.     I  think they'll be more refinement of command and stuff  and a surprise waiting to happen.  
Kochanowicz, 
   I really cannot wait to see how he does next season. he has the potential to be a middle of the rotation arm or a power pitcher. We will see him in     2024. Next step for him will be refinement of his command and stuff, plus setting and finishing hitter with stuff outside of the zone  
Disappointment 
 Bachman, I just don't think he'll stay healthy enough in either roles
Paris, I think the high strike-out rates will not do any benefits for hi,,

I think Sandy will rebound this upcoming season. whatever the pitching staff, analytics department  and coaches were trying it flat out did not work and everyone regressed. Going forward I think We'll get a guy that has an ERA between 3.60 to 3.90 while giving you a solid 140 to 150ish innings. 
Next up I have Detmer, he just to good to be over 4 ERA guy in my books. His stuff is that good !he has no hit stuff, and a hammer curve that he needs to use more. Personally I believes he just needs to alter his pitch usage. Last year he threw 43% fastball, 31% sliders, and 19% curves. basically 74% of his pitcher were the hard stuff and hitter will adjust. I feel like bringing that FB usage  down to 35%, and Curve up to 25% with a few more changes could help him. Next, I think instead of mostly going up and down in the zone, he needs to work all for 4 corners of the strike-zone. I think he has the stuff to be 3.20 to 3.50 ERA guy. 
 

I am really excited to see how Dana does next year. if everything clicks he could finish the year at AA, and have shot at the MLB the following year. He has a high spin fastball that rates as plus, mixed in with a curve that could also be plus. He still needs to refine his command/control and a 3rd pitch to reach his ceiling as a #2. I think his change has a chance to be another plus pitch to give him 3 really good pitch. 
Honestly I have a more of a Corbin Burnes comp for him.

I have Low-expectations for Rendon going into the season. But I would not mind seeing trying him out at leadoff to hopefully get the most with his lack/concern of power and having him hit in front of Trout could help. He still gets on base and does not strike out a lot.

I wonder if the angels already made offers and are now just in a waiting limbo? The reports are that they're in a holding pattern, yet they have also been linked to guys like Snell, Stroman..Etc
