Dipoto is awesome when he's not on your team haha. Always true to character, gotta hand it to him -
Josh Bell & Chris Archer anyone? Pirates looking to make moves!
goldenGlove replied to Chuck's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
I think it could be an interesting move tbh. Maybe Wooten/Reed can help Bell stay more on par with his monster first half ala how they helped Calhoun. I like Bell a lot more than Thaiss/Word, bad defense and all. Archer would hopefully not even need to be a #3 if free agency goes as hoped. I wouldn't send out either of our top 2 or anything- but it could be a pretty high upside move worth moving others from our top 10 for perhaps. -
Kole is a class act and will be missed. I posted in a thread awhile ago about this, but based on the market last year, outfielders around his age and around his production pretty much only get 1 year deals. There are exceptions and maybe he'll be one, but most likely he gets 1 year/4-5 million. Last years non-minor league deals to outfielders: Michael Brantley (age 32, 4 years 32 mil) Lonnie Chisenhall (age 30, 1 year 2.75 mil) Avisail Garcia (age 28, 1 year 3 million) Bret Gardner- (age 36, re-signed 1 year 7.5 mil) Robbie Grossman (age 30, 1 year 2 mil) Billy Hamilton (age 29, 1 year 5.25 mil) Bryce Harper (age 26, 13 years 330 mil) Adam Jones (age 34, 1 year 3 mil) Nick Markakis (age 35, re-signed 1 year 6 mil) Andrew Mccutchen (age 32, 3 years 50 mil) AJ Pollock (age 31, 5 years 60 mil)

The Official 2019 Major League Baseball Thread
goldenGlove replied to m0nkey's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Not sure if this has already been talked about but I was just looking at some stats and found this pretty remarkable: Tim Anderson won the batting title with a .335 AVG, which is only slightly lower than his .357 OBP. How does someone with such a high AVG have such a low OBP? He has 15 BB to 109 SO. 15/109!!! And he put up similar BB/K numbers his previous seasons. He obviously has an incredible hit ability but man that has got to be infuriating to watch. -
Batter in AFL gets thrown out after robo call called strike
goldenGlove replied to yk9001's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Looks like it was a good call -
People have made good points on what Ausmus did poorly; I didn't think he was necessarily the problem but he also wasn't a great solution. Maddon is a clear upgrade. I don't think this screams dysfunction if Eppler and Arte were on the same page that Ausmus wasn't working and there was a chance to upgrade.

Just for reference from last off-season, non minor league deals were given to the following outfielders: Michael Brantley (age 32, 4 years 32 mil) Lonnie Chisenhall (age 30, 1 year 2.75 mil) Avisail Garcia (age 28, 1 year 3 million) Bret Gardner (age 36, 1 year 7.5 mil) Robbie Grossman (age 30, 1 year 2 mil) Billy Hamilton (age 29, 1 year 5.25 mil) Bryce Harper (age 26, 13 years 330 mil) Adam Jones (age 34, 1 year 3 mil) Nick Markakis (age 35, 1 year 6 mil) Andrew Mccutchen (age 32, 3 years 50 mil) AJ Pollock (age 31, 5 years 60 mil) Multi-year deals were given to Brantley, Harper, Mccutchen, Pollock, who all are either a former MVP or All Star. Pollock is already looking like an ugly contract but the Dodgers can just replace him with a top prospect making the minimum as soon as Pollock isn’t useful. The others are obvious multi year candidates. For the 1 year deals, Gardner I imagine was only ever going to get that much from the Yankees and Markakis got paid for his all star season and to be a veteran presence. I wouldn’t be surprised if Calhoun looks at these vets re-signing with their team and thinking he should get 6-7.5 mil from the Angels. He’s younger and smack dab in the middle of those players production this year. Garcia was coming off a terrible year but was an All star a couple years ago and is only 28- he only got 1 year 3 million. He’s having a pretty similar season to Calhoun actually and would seem to be a more preferred option for a team in the OF market. And yet his season or career aren't as good as the guys who got multi year deals. He probably gets like 2 years 10-12 million maybe. The other 1 years deals aren’t paying dividends. Calhoun is having a better season than those guys had before signing; but given how poorly these 1 year OF deals have gone and that he’s in the older range of said players, I don’t see teams offering him a lot. The 1 year deals given to a player from outside their organization were between 2-3 million, except for 29 year old Hamilton. based on this, it seems Calhoun would assuredly be looking for 6-7.5 million annually but will likely settle for about 3-4 million. Unless someone wants to give him an insane Pollock-esque contract to be a great clubhouse guy and defender power bat (not happening) i think 1 yr/3-4 mil is a fair deal based on the market and I would be fine with that.

Looking back at underrated players
goldenGlove replied to happybat4's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Carlos Delgado was such a beast. .929 career OPS -
Wow he has a really nice swing. Once he’s loaded up it kinda reminds me of a smoother version of Upton
