Love that CJ Wilson was trashing the Angels Spring Training facilities like not even having a gym for them..
This is a great story and i hope it gets a lot of press because Arte and the front office need to be shamed publicly on how this franchise is being run.
Neto isn't really lighting the world on fire with a .725 OPS (league avg is .750) / OPS+ of 94 (league avg is 100) Detmers had a really tough year this year. Bachman and Joyce are TBD.
Schanuel is fine but the guy has almost no power with a .300 SLG Percentage (1 double and 0 triples / homers)
hopefully he works on his launch angle in the offseason and maybe goes to driveline to get some high quality coaching.
Doubt they'll release him.. he's useful can play defense and hit as good as anyone else we can put in his place.. Only reason to waive him was for salary relief.. if we dumped him we'd still have to pay him so he'll be staying.
Could have gotten some nice prospects for Moustakas,Renfroe,Drury,Moore,Estevez and Ohtani. Was a real sellers market this year as there weren't a lot of people selling at the deadline.
Huge mistake. Huge.
Definitely not worth it. Wasting prospects when we could have traded them for non rentals and could help us down the road. Buying rentals on a season that isn't going to amount to anything is the worst thing you can do outside of signing has been players for huge amounts of money IE Pujols / Rendon
I wish you were the GM of the Angels and i could listen to you calling other teams on speaker phone.. "Yeah we're willing to give you Ward and Walsh for Stroman" and just hear nothing but laughter followed by the phone being hung up.
