  1. Agree. Last season the pen had 29 blown saves. Cutting that by 40-50 % would be a game changer.
  2. I remember when games were on Autry's channel 5. In 1961 they televised about 10 games.
  3. Just a guess, but I think Rod Carew and Pete Rose probably had lower than average exit velocity . Those guys fared pretty good.
  4. Guys like Joyce and Bachman might perform good enough in spring and not make the opening day roster because they have options.
  5. Nope. He had one group give him a formal offer, and he rejected it.
  6. Years ago, Cuban was in a group to buy a team and backed out at the last minute. Was told that he will never own a MLB team.
  7. I totally agree. But, this is the Angels. They will probably sign one or two free agents before spring training and give up one or two draft picks. Arte just doesn't give a flying fxxk about drafting and developing players. It's all about the big name free agents.
  8. If he really is healthy, showcase him in spring training and trade him the last week.
  9. I have been retired now for 8 1/2 years. I love that i am getting paid to stay home everyday. If you don't have the home paid off, don't retire yet. We had everything paid off. Now it is just utilities,food,insurance bills and taxes. Being that we have been in our house almost 42 years, we pay taxes based on a $125k home. To me, that is the biggest positive. Have had friends who spent a lot on big vacations, house remodels, etc who refinanced their homes several times. Refinancing retriggers rates, and now they pay taxes based on the new value of the home. At retirement time, they were pretty much forced to sell and move out of state because they couldn't afford to pay property taxes based on a market value around a million dollars. So a little advise to younger homeowners, NEVER REFINANCE.
  10. Either way, Washington and Goins should have their hands full trying to turn Rengifo, Shanuel, and Stefanic into decent defenders.
  11. i think IF the starting pitching reverts somewhere close to 2022 level, and relief pitchers can cut the blown saves 40-50% they could be in the wild card race. But, that is a BIG IF.
  12. After Ohtani's salary deferral,I think MLB should institute a new rule that limits deferring any player contract to a maximum of 10%.
  13. I thought Soto looked good when he was up in 22. He played well and didn't have that deer in the headlights look like we saw with Paris and Adams.
  14. Winning the World Series, and Nolan Ryan's no hitters as an Angel, to me were much bigger.
  15. Now who on the 26 man roster gets sent down. Don't think we have many position players on the 26 man roster with OPTIONS, other than Neto, O'Hoppe and Shanuel.
  16. Votto will cause the team to DFA a young player to give him a 40 man roster spot. Then he will get DFA'd around the All Star break. And , depending on how many guys projected to be on the 26 man roster have options remaining , could cause another problem. If they want Votto around to mentor players, then make him a friggen coach, instead.
