Everything Is Awesome 

Perry is probably just waiting for Arte to come back from a drunken binge.

Ohtani's people likely came up with this plan when considering Toronto. It's a tax dodge.

Rendon is a momentum/rhythm player. We've seen it multiple times over the last few years: Starts rusty, warms up and gets into a rhythm and plays well, then gets hurt. So I think if he's healthy, he'll be pretty good - not 2017-20 good, but the point is that the more he plays, the better his stats will be. 

As for Trout, who knows. Chances are something will happen and he'll play somewhere in the 80-120 games range, depending upon how severe his inevitable injury is. I can only imagine how frustrated he must be, or how frustrated he'll be if and when he gets hurt in 2024. Still, given the freakish nature of most of his injuries, it is also possible he threads the needle and plays 130-140 games and has a bit of a career renaissance. In truth, any kind of success the Angels have depends on it. 

Have Trout split time between LF and DH. DFA Rendon at the end of spring if he hasn't produced more than the crap he has.

Where did I put Lionel Hutz's number?

I can't  wait for the first page of AW to not have a single Ohtani thread. Anyone twho starts a new thread should have a 2 week ban.

I love that Chuck liked your post!

Just cut Rendon and not even deal with it.

i'm on board, tom. 

these are an absolute must have for me: 

Yasssss!

So... who were the losers?

If Ohtani wins a WS as a Dodger, then I'll assume that will be how he'd prefer to be remembered.

I have a grey road Ohtani Angels jersey with the Japanese lettering on the nameplate.

I'll be rocking that beauty when I visit Dog Stadium as he's the only reason to go there.

They really need to bleed out the best performances from their current players to be competitive next year.

Should they look to Rendon's leg for this?

Maybe tap into it like how you'd get maple syrup?

So by my very precise calculations, the Angels need to win about 90 games to make the playoffs in 2024.  They won 73 games and lost a 9 win player.  

Hence they need to make up 26 wins from last year.  

Where are they are coming from?  

The first pick in the draft when we finish with 64 wins?

If true I'm just picturing Arte with his thumb up his ass and wondering why he just lost the biggest business asset he ever had to his rival.

What does Arte care, when he can put his thumb up his ass?

Bring back Clutch and Scoop!

I wonder what they are paying Montgomery, in my mind he isn't worth the minimum.

Ray gets a handful of kibble when he brings in something useful.

I went through all of these in reverse order.
