    A weak farm is a weak farm. Outside of maybe Quero, no one we moved projects as anything more than fringe MLB players, especially considering Bush has been absolute dogshit this year. Who knows which direction he goes.
    Can this change? Of course, but they are all huge maybes and are replaceable in future drafts.

    Terrible leadership. 
    Moreno and Carpino are probably one of the worst owner/executive combos in all of sports.
    A constant revolving door at GM and manager.
    Trout is a great player, but seems to be incapable of rallying a team around him. He’s just not a leader at all.
    Shohei lacks cultural identification to be a leader or so it seems. So you have no true leader that is a key player. 

    The organization sucks at everything. They do nothing well. Until Arte Moreno sells the team, nothing is going to change. The problem is he won’t sell the team because Angels fans don’t really care about winning and are quite uneducated about baseball as a whole. We at AngelsWin are the 1%.
    Angels fans will show up for a fun night at the ballpark and get to see Ohtani and Trout even though the foundation of the entire organization is completely broken. Wins and losses don’t really matter to Angels fans.
    We’ve gone through this for a decade now yet we still get the nut-swingers saying everything is okay and it’s really no one’s fault. It is what it is. Until the fans start expecting better, why would Moreno need to do anything better? He’s a rich elite that only gives a shit about the bottom line and his development deal. And unfortunately, our fans are either too stupid and/or don’t care to hold him accountable for the garbage product his franchise continues to put on the field.

    robblin17 reacted to TheLordofOuts in All they need to do is play .667 baseball....   
    to have a good shot at the playoffs.  71 games, that's a record of around 47 wins and 24 losses.  So, after they sweep the Astros this weekend, that brings the total down to 44.  Fortunately, they play many of the opponents that are ahead of them, so it makes it easier to make up ground.  I am of the belief that they aren't nearly as bad as they had been the past 10 games.  
    You keep Ohtani.  There is zero chance they get fair market value for him.  Trade for some pitching. You need some guys to come back like Neto and then if you get Trout, it's like getting an all-star in the heat of the race without losing anyone.  
    This CAN happen.  Who's with me?

    Arte has never spent a dime on hiring a General Manager. He's probably spent more on Managers than any other owner during his tenure. Scioscia's contract is still the highest contract ever given to Manager by double the 2nd highest. He paid a ton of money to Maddon too. However, he has always hired first time General Managers who would take whatever piddly amount they were offered to get a chance that they may never get offered again. Just another example of the strange and ineffective way that he spends his money. There have been many proven championship building GM's that have been available during his ownership. Those guys can also bring in the top available front office people as well. However, he chooses to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on "superstar" free agents, or trading for big contracts, after their peak. Also, he spends near the bottom on GM's., scouting and player development. I'll guarantee you that the teams that invest more in their front office, scouting and development win much more consistently than those who blow money on free agents. I'm pretty sure he spent over $800,000,000 on Pujols, Hamilton, Rendon, Wells & Upton. How did those moves work out?
