5 players played 162 games last year.  

I think it's called being realistic.  

If he can hit near .260 25 plus dingers and just drive in the other big bats who hit in front of him, that would be my wish.

Canning starts 25 games and becomes  a solid 3rd in the rotation

Rendon,Trout, Ohtani combine for 90 homers

Fletch hits .300 and becomes our go to leadoff hitter

He would of been a perfect fit for us then lol

Jeff any chance Angels try and acquire a SP prior to opening day?

FTD

Teheran gets no love.... I think he's a solid pitcher. We're lucky to have him.

Exactly, he should of been mentioned before Bundy

I’m all for anything that may cause the Dodgers to  lose in the west...

so you're implying that it would cost Adell and Marsh and Canning?  

I would like to take this time to remind people that Clevinger pitched 126 innings last year 

Yeah there’s no way we give Adell along with Canning

So they’d rather shed money than obtain quality prospects. 

Do you think a package around Marsh and a few others can get it done?

ESPN’s Buster Olney reported on Sunday that the Boston Red Sox are seeking to package the former AL MVP with the contract of veteran pitcher David Price. The Red Sox are also said to be asking for a pair of frontline prospects.

Betts, 27, just agreed to a record one-year contract to remain in Boston but could still be on the move with the team looking to slash payroll. The 34-year-old Price, meanwhile, has three years and $96 million remaining on his deal.

Once again lol

I would switch Teheran and Bundy on the plus wins, Teheran's been a much more consistent pitcher.

Nah, too easy.

Are we pushing hard for Wood?

At the least one more SP hopefully  a trade for Gray or a cheap deal for Wood.

I haven't heard that.  Ludicrous if true.  He's got 1yr deal written all over him after last year.  

Someone wrote on another thread like last week that it was 3, hoping we can get him on a 1 yr 6mill deal.

What's the update on Wood? Is he still trying to get a 3 yr deal?

Not bad 

Sign Wood and still try to make a move with the Cubs for Contreras and 1 of there SP.

fuck it, Upton, Marsh, Sandoval and Suarez for Heyward, Darvish, Kimbrel and Kendricks.  Cubs can do a quick reboot.  

If there is a deal with Cubs hope somehow we can get Contreras too

Rosenthal suggested on mlb network Angels sign Alex Wood for 6 to 8 mill

Depends what type of pitcher we are getting if it’s a top tier Marsh and Canning if it’s a bad contract like Price those names are off limits

Had a rough 2nd half of the season, hoping they go for Gray or a big move with the Cubs.

There are still a few low risk pitchers on the FA market that are kind of interesting Alex Wood Ivan Nova Drew Smyly Taijuan Walker Danny Salazar Chad Bettis Jerad Eikoff Matt Moore Homer Bailey But if your looking for the difference maker it’s going to be via trade

 

Fuck Cole too, go rot in NYC.

Sure, some people may be underestimating the impact of Rendon, but they aren't understating the need for pitching coming into this winter..  or last year.  The pitching situation has been an ongoing issue...  earlier someone used the term PSTD and honestly -- that fits.   

Eppler's stance in previous years was that our rotation was good if healthy -- and while he was right, it was never healthy....  so.... even if he was right, the old line about the definition of insanity being repeating the same thing over and over starts to creep into people's heads.  Everyone understands the dude had his hands tied with the farm being what it was, the black holes all over the place, and the lack of available money but, that started to change last year and there is no denying his stepped on his dick .   So, while logically there were reasons why he went the route he did .... holy shit did things go sideways.   Anyway... IMO, people reacting emotionally to what they may view as more of the same is almost merited.

You said earlier than you could respond to some of this but that people would see it as you making excuses -- you get it.  The reality is that had last year FA moves not been the shit-fest they were then people might not be so on edge about what they have done this year.  It's fair for people to be skeptical even negative.  Personally, I'll be worried about them making some panic trade until they don't.  And I'm not opposed to making trades, I just don't want to see a Marsh moved for a Boyd or something along those lines.

Agreed there 100% 

Boyd's 2nd half numbers

14 starts 5.51 era 20 homers allowed in 78 innings , only a 3 to 1 so/ walk ratio

If they ask for Marsh, Angels should tell them  no way.
