I agree with all your points but I still think that overall, the growth in the minor league will overcome these weak signings. Plus these will be off the books soon enough. I dont mind Bourjos so much because if Upton is back and they can replace Calhoun with Goodwin, then Bourjos isnt that bad as a fill in or even a pinch runner.

I agree with everything except the insinuation that this is Eppler's fault. I think he has done a great job so far. They were, what, last in all of baseball in minor league talent and in 2 years now rank in the top 10. This takes time. The Angels are still hampered by the Josh Hamilton and Pujols deals and traded much of their talent in the early 2010s. They have assembled a good bullpen, with some exceptions. They need to get Calhoun, Cozart, and Puljos  out of the lineup and bring up youth.

Because he has no control of any of his pitches. He is wild. His fastball is extremely straight and his curve is either in the dirt or down the middle. Never learned how to pitch.

Hello everyone. My name is Mark. I am a physical therapist. Went to Brinkman-Froeming Umpire school in 1996. Umpired in Div 1 baseball for 1 year along with Div II and III for 5 years before going to grad school. Always been a huge Angels fan and look forward to a good season.

Nolan Ryan and Frank Tanna easily for me. These were my idols as a kid.

I assume you are talking to me. Well my blindness resolved after retiring from umpiring and I am a fully functional Angel fanatic.
