Nothing wrong with a little competition for the younger guys. Sign him. Bring him to Spring Training. If he performs good enough to win the 2b or 3b job, send the youngsters to Triple A. If he stinks up the joint then release him.

I’m not sure, the tray is in the way in that picture. 

After all the articles about the Angels looking for durable pitchers, they sign Matt Harvey?

If hes frustrated he has no reason to be as his limited budget is part of the reason we are where we are.  He had to know what kind of GM Eppler was when he hired him and what his plan would be.  

The news and impression around us are extremely unclear and contradictory.  Well spend for the right players, but we have a limited budget.  Were looking at trades more than FA, but were not going to hurt the development of the farm.   Our priority is pitching, yet we havent signed one and let some go?    I think its pretty clear this off season has not gone as they hoped it would to date.  Keeping it close to the vest is one thing, confusing the hell out of everyone is another.   Being involved in talks doesn't show anything when you are 15-20% lower than the winners.   Is actually winning at the ML level on the short term a priority at all? 

Its just my opinion but I think the players are picking up on that making us a far less attractive destination at least until we know if Trout is staying or not.   If we cant win with him it seems, who wants to come here and be left with the aftermath if he leaves.  I think that might be hurting us the most.  If we cant win with him, who wants to come here and get stuck with the aftermath.  Whatever is going to happen with that, needs to get done like, yesterday.   I get you might have to wait on Harper/Machado to finalize the money but damn, say something to get that concern off the table.     

Get some shit done you black asshole.
eom

Your football analogies suck and you've been asleep at the wheel here dude. 
Ok.... I had to channel my inner @Angel Oracle. 
That said, I started a thread 3-4 weeks ago asking if anyone knew what Eppler's plan was. Obviously nobody could answer, nobody really knows, but at this point it seems like his plan A, B, C, D, E, F , G and maybe facking Z have been exercised. So what gives? 
The chances of signing the Japanese lefty are probably slim, CAKE-el is an over pay and Grandal's defense blows and he disappears in crucial games. Harvey is a roll of the dice, high risk/reward guy.
Honest question? Does Trout look at this weak offseason and think to himself, another shitty losing season, I cannot wait to bounce? Will Eppler redeem himself in trades and FA signings?
Just blowing off steam, don't judge me.

Does anybody else think that Eppler is like the kid who gets picked last when picking teams? Nobody likes what he has to offer?

Holy shit this is the most boring off season so far.
I'm dying for some action.

He's bringing back Bo Jackson!! Bo knows touchdowns!

The idea itself reads like an 80s sitcom, with that as the title.
Couldnt be worse than drexles class. (And i like dabney coleman)

My wife's true love..plays that game every day.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is out it's understandable.

Salvador Perez.
Great defense.  Catches as many games per year as anyone.  He can hit.  He is 28 yrs old.  And it is the Royals. . .who need to make some moves to rebuild.

Ask me again after ST. ?

I'm not sold on Cozart. He had a good year with the bat in 2017 and that is his only year he produced offensively.

Could Eppler be waiting to see whom other clubs non-tender before he makes any significant moves?

This is great news. Now they have another minor leaguer who can't find the strike zone?

You should know I can be a little sarcastic at times... 
Welcome to AW.  Maybe I should make you a sandwich.

Well that's good to know because I've tried posting on another Angel's board and all it seemed to be was a complete circle jerk of Angel's fans who knew everything.....what do you want on your sandwich?

Maybe they could sign Bartolo Colon.  If he gets wide enough, nothing could get past him.
 

Been an Angels fan since the late 60's, early 70's. Came here to see how many Angels fans I could piss off with my posts?
