Then how do you explain Fernando Rodney? With the angels, he became diareaha. Then with the Rays, he is gold.

Upstreamers.

The free agent market for starting pitchers sucks. I have to believe that the best way to strengthen the rotation will be finding a couple of organizations with a lot of depth. Then make deals for a couple of young arms mlb ready. Use the free agency to find some bullpen arms, and to fill in any holes in the position players resulting from those trades.

Has anyone kept a running total of how many games the pen has blown? I think i ran out of fingers and toes trying to keep count back in May.

No sprechanzie Deutsce .

I first remember the team as LA Angels. I don't think the change in name is a big deal. The only changes i want to see is the product on the field, the Stadium rebuilt or refurbished, and the halo put back on the caps.

He was quoted in an article i read that if he was traded, the odds of him resigning here might not be good. So i would keep him.

He isn't hitting any hr's, because he knows Sosh will bench him.

Suck it. Glad to see you are back to your normal self tonite.

Scoscia had one years experience in the minor leagues. Was he qualified?

I would keep Frieri and DDR only for the pen. Then i would be looking at minor league free agents, who are ML ready and have been blocked. Especially, hard throwers that can throw strikes. No more of this nibbling crap, that leads to too many walks and speeds up hitters bats. Old fashion hardball. Hopefully, we can find 3 pen arms this way. Then let the rest of the guys fight it out for the remaining pen spots. The most feasible way to fix the rotation will be thru trades. Kendrick,Aybar, and Borjous are the most likely bait.

In about 10 days, the whole 40 man roster should up.

Bring Percival in as a bullpen coach. He mentored a lot of angel pitchers during his years here. and during those years we had the best bullpens in franchise history.

When Arte bought the team, he said he would hope to have the team become the Yankees of the West. Well, i think that goal is in reach. Both teams are in 4th place in their divisions,and both have huge payrolls with some aging and under performing superstars.

Was Oppenheimer.

I once played golf with Clyde over 30 years ago, with Andy Etchebarren. It was the 2nd anniversary of Clydes sobriety. I remember him telling some great stories.

I don't think the halo's play the remainder at the current % of .449. Top 5-6 is very realistic.

they should just get rid of the entire bullpen. Not one of them is any good. They walk more batters than they get out.

How about firing the whole bullpen, and starting next season with a whole new group of arms.

Not enough walks.

Nothing but retreads being added to the org. The old saying , "One mans trash is anothers treasure", seems to appeal to the Angels. The organization is now dumpster diving.

Wait till February, when he says the foot is still hurting and now he is going to have the surgery and be out till the AllStar break.

I use to be a golf pro 30 years ago. But haven't hit a golf ball in 3 years. Not sure if that will qualify for A,B,C, or D.

Tonite may have been CJ's best outing for the Angels. I like how efficient he was. Pounded the strike zone.
