    $156 Million

    Not that the Angels will spend a lot of money, but I (and Cot's) have them at roughly 156 Million for 2017. They may be slightly higher or lower than this, based on a number of factors. They also have Skaggs as Arbitration eligible on Cot's but not on MLBTraderumors.com, so I'm not sure where to put him. 

    With the Luxury tax at $195,000,000 and the Angels needing a 8-10 M on top of the actual salaries, plus the difference in AAV vs. actual salaries, it still looks like they have money to spend.  If they choose. 

    Where is this money best spent? 

    The best free agents remaining are Edwin Encarnacion, who doesn't fit with the Angels very well, Mark Trumbo, who also doesn't fit the Angels well, Ivan Nova, who had a small resurgence but is not worth a 4 year deal, so I don't see a good free agent fit left.

    However, they could add a late inning reliever, a lefty second baseman to replace Pennington, a 4th OF, and even a starting Catcher. Ramos may have signed, but Weiters, Castillo, and Hundley are all pretty decent with the bat, and not horrible defensively. But I think they are prioritizing defense, so that's probably a long shot.

    Still, they could also bring back Jered Weaver, if they were so inclined on a incentive laden deal. 

    We'll see what they do, but they are really far under the cap, and will get even more so next season, when Nolasco, Escobar, Espinosa, Chavez, Pennington, and Bailey are all set to be free agents.

     

    Is Hamilton also off the books after this season or is it the following season?

    Got me thinking about some creative trades and signings. I was thinking we could trade Calhoun to the Cards for Wong and a pitcher and then sign Fowler. 

     

    Damn it I'm so bored, DO SOMETHING EPP. We are all over here coming up with crazy scenarios that will never happen. 

    That would totally blow if Calhoun is shipped off. He'd probably be the 2nd coming of Edmonds for the Cards with our luck...
