*whispers* Greinke Haren trades

The sad truth is Herrera would be just the START of making this team ready for the playoffs. If we had acquired him we would be just a wild card team and Herrera I believe would be just a rental. Would we have enough firepower to beat the Yanks, Sox, Astros? Probably not. 

BRAD HAND

The Nats are far and above what we are now. Herrera would be a bandaid to maybe getting to a WC at most

Eppler took over a team with the worst minors in all of baseball and a horrendous Albert contract.. he did the best he could signing/trading for middle of the road players till the minors can actually produce major league level talent 

I'm sure Eppler is just sitting on his ass playing the XBox with Stoneman

Plus a payroll near the tax threshold. 

Do you guys think Jerimiah Jackson actually sticks in the dirt or is it a matter of time before he becomes a CFer too lol
He’s my favorite pick of the draft his swing is ?

Drafting 3 top 100 prospects in 2 years, signing Shohei + braves, all while hands are tied with international $$...

Good luck to Calhoun, let's hope he is not the same guy at the plate.

I can confirm that Trent Devereux, D'Shawn Knowles, Drevian Williams (14th round pick), William English (5th round pick), Miguel Almonte (DL rehab - Salt Lake), Kyle Bradish (4th round pick), Jeremiah Jackson (2nd round pick), Dazon Cole, Cristian Reyes and Brett Bond are to name a few are on the AZL Angels roster. 
Our 1st round pick Jordyn Adams should be signing today and reporting to the club on Wednesday. 
The roster is loaded with talent and they're set to debut tonight against the AZL Athletics at 7pm PST. 
 

He has great stuff. Jewell became a reliever this year and it seems Eppler rushed him to the big leagues. Anderson became a reliever in 2017 and gave him an entire year in the minors. They also gave Middleton a year in ththe minors. I wouldn’t be surprised if they send Jewell down for the rest of the year when they bring up Tuesday’s starter just to learn how to be a reliever. But with our bullpen situation who knows..

Whats up guys. Angels fan since the 90s best game ive ever been to is still the Adam Kennedy 3 homer game vs twins in the ALCS.
I've been reading you guys for a couple weeks and finally decided to join! Enjoy following the minor leagues (F*ck you Dipito)
Favorite Angels player of all time is John Lackey
 

Jose Suarez Shines In Three-Level Jump
By Mike DiGiovanna on June 15, 2018
BEST PLAYER
Scouting director Matt Swanson believes the Angels chose "a potential franchise player” in Jo Adell, the Louisville-area high school outfielder who was the 10th overall pick in 2017. While it’s too soon to project whether he can live up to those sky-high projections, the 19-year-old Adell has done little to temper them.
After an impressive pro debut in 2017, Adell spent less than two months at low Class A Burlington this season before being promoted to high Class A Inland Empire on May 20. Overall he hit .303/.362/.601 with 13 home runs and 10 stolen bases through 47 games.
Virtually everything Adell does on the field is explosive. He has the power to mash 450-foot homers, the speed to run a 6.4-second 60-yard dash and the arm to make laser-like throws from the outfield, which isn’t a surprise. As a high school pitcher, his fastball was clocked between 92-94 mph.
The Midwest League didn’t provide much of a challenge for Adell, who slashed .326/.398/.611 with six homers with 11 walks and 26 strikeouts in 25 games for Burlington. He continued to hit for plus power in the California League, even as his walk and strikeout rates had not yet stabilized. 
BIGGEST LEAP FORWARD
Don’t let his size fool you. Lefthander Jose Suarez may be 5-foot-10, 170 pounds, but he has such an advanced feel for pitching and a knack for missing bats that he jumped from Inland Empire to Double-A Mobile to Triple-A Salt Lake within the first two months of this season
Suarez, who signed as a 16-year-old out of Venezuela in 2014, mixes a fastball that averages 92 mph and touches 95 with an 81 mph changeup he throws with deception and sinking action and an improving mid-70s curve. He increased his strikeout rates from 5.7 per nine innings in 2015 to 10.7 in 2016 to 11.8 in 2017.
The 20-year-old has maintained those rates in 2018, striking out an average of 12.8 batters per nine innings in 13 starts across three levels, though Suarez found his level at Triple-A, where he struck out 11 and walked 10 through his first 17.2 Pacific Coast League innings.
Impressively, Suarez had allowed only one home run all season in 56.1 innings, while recording a 3.04 ERA and .264 opponent average.

Definitely agree. The only top prospect I would consider trading is Jones in a package deal for Hand or Iglesias. They both have a deal through 2020 I believe  
Jones may be expendable with Fletcher and rengifo looking good.
