greginpsca reacted to Blarg in The Official Los Angeles Angels 2023-2024 Hot Stove Offseason Thread
I'm not misunderstanding anything. He wasn't supposed to have as much playing time as he did and broke in two. So you can't project his performance to be the same as last season, any valuation Doc referenced has zero relevance to this season.

greginpsca got a reaction from SlappyUtilityMIF in Ippei fired by Dodgers after being accused of theft by Ohtani’s attorney’s
To me, this just has the smell of a big coverup. Lawyers all over this before the news broke. Multiple stories. If Ohtani did indeed wire money, i have to think he has some culpability unless Ippei held a gun to his head. Something tells me MLB and Manfort will try to protect their biggest "Commodity'. Stock up on popcorn everyone, this should get interesting.

Soriano 8 k's, 0 walks in 6 innings.Averaged around 12-13 pitches per inning. Can't get much better than that.

random comment from Facebook that got almost 2,000 likes:
The Commissioner’s Office will dip and dive around these accusations. They don’t want to lose their most globally marketable player, or hurt the Dodgers.

Just take your hard earned cash and invest in the billboard industry. Any idiot can get rich there.

You are mixing up different things. If Montgomery had a draft pick loss attached to him NOW (he already doesn’t) then a team could get around that by waiting to sign until the draft.
If Montgomery waits to sign until after the season opens, he will also again not have a draft pick loss attached to him NEXT year in his NEXT free agency.
At least that’s how I understand it.

....or this just punched Pete Rose's ticket into Cooperstown. What he did was child's play comparatively.

Yeah, that was IMO again Bill Stoneman. Stoneman had to have been a difficult guy to bargain with, he essentially drew a line in the sand and wouldn't cross it. I think his tendency to know when to say "no", is why Arte didn't try his usual BS on him.
The thing that set Stoneman aside from the guys that followed him was his absolute commitment to the farm system. People forget or maybe just don't know how much money Stoneman dumped into the system -- he consistently spent first round money on guys taken in the middle of the draft and on draft and follow types. Mark Trumbo was taken in the 18th round because of signability concerns and a college commitment to USC. Nick Adenhart was taken in the 14th or 15th round after having been considered a potential 1-1 pick. Adenhart's selection raised eyebrows because he had gone down to Tommy John surgery in HS but Stoneman convinced the family that his best shot at making a full recovery was to have him be taken care of by the Angels medical staff. Weaver, Adenhart, Trumbo were all taken in 2004.
Stoneman swung and missed on other guys but at least they tried. Chris Davis, Buster Posey, Kyle Hendricks, Brian Matusz, Matt Harvey, Brandon Morrow, were all HS guys Stoneman attempted to throw money at, as were touted college FB guys Patrick White and Jake Locker. Some have attempted to lay the blame on Arte for not allowing him to offer more, but the reality is Stoneman was able to take more of those risks and offer more under Arte than he had at any point under Disney.
Stoneman is the single most impactful person in Angels history other than the guy that set out to get the radio rights to an expansion team and ended up a MLB owner.

2002 we lost to Cleveland opening day. Then went 6-14. The rest is history.

I have to disagree.
it's a short term deal. 3 years is good deal considering Snell's age and injury history.
there's enough money left where you can offer Snell that 35 mil year one, and work out the other 2 years without have issues with money.
if he decides to opt-out it works for us aswell with the crop of free agents next year. If he gets hurt or underperforms.... well we out of that contract in 3 years instead of 5 or 6 years.

This is exactly the type of deal the Angels should NOT offer Snell, in my opinion. There's zero upside in this deal for the Angels.
