    Ray wouldn’t be horrible, but do they really want someone who only averaged around 5.1 innings per start last season and has trouble throwing strikes? The bullpen will be taxed on most days when he starts.
  2. Angels_Fan
    Keuchel would be a big upgrade over that... but a 6-man rotation will limit Keuchel’s innings, though. I wonder how free agents and potential trade targets even feel about the Angels’ plan for a 6-man rotation? Would they be ok with that?

    One great thing about trading for Gray (besides that he’s good and under club control for a few seasons) is that he’s only projected to earn $5.6 million next year. That could give the Angels flexibility to add a catcher and maybe some bullpen arms.
  4. Angels_Fan
    182.2 innings isn’t really close to 200. And the previous two years he’s averaged under 6 innings per start.
  5. Angels_Fan
    Agreed. He also can’t be trusted to stay healthy. Plus he won’t give a team too many innings regardless. Seems like a 5-6 innings per start pitcher on most years.
  6. Angels_Fan
    Jon Gray would be my choice. He probably won’t be cheap, though.
  7. Angels_Fan
    They’ll probably sign Keuchel for 3 years and trade for a good starter. That’s better than 5 years for Bumgarner, who could fall off a cliff given some of his indicators.
  8. Angels_Fan
    I don’t like how many home runs he gives up for a ground-ball pitcher. Even if the Angels signed him, they’d still need to trade for someone better than that (unless they signed Ryu also).
  9. Angels_Fan
    Great news. I was hoping the Angels wouldn’t sign him.
  10. Angels_Fan
    Delino DeShields is a bench player at best who put up horrible offensive numbers in that bandbox. Yea, Kluber is probably damaged goods.
  11. Angels_Fan
    Many other teams could’ve sweetened the deal and sent more talent and no team did.
  12. Angels_Fan
    Yea, but if that’s all it was going to take, then that’s a red flag. Nobody trades an ace on an affordable contract for just that. The Indians probably think he’s done being an ace.
  13. Angels_Fan
    True. He gives up a lot of home runs for a ground ball pitcher, too. Ideally, the Angels would acquire someone better than Keuchel, but they can also do far worse. Maybe they can sign Keuchel and trade for another starter who is better than Keuchel.
  14. Angels_Fan
    I hope they traded some pretty good prospects for damaged goods.
  15. Angels_Fan
    They can afford him, but they’re not in a position to really gut the farm system for a risky pitcher. I’d rather they just sign Keuchel and keep their prospects. And maybe look to make a trade for someone who won’t be as costly or risky.
  16. Angels_Fan
    Anyway, I’m done with this discussion.
  17. Angels_Fan
    All you had to do was say “I don’t know”. Which would’ve validated made my point that his decision was short-sighted. Basing your decision on wanting to win a WS when your contract is for 9 years is stupid. He has no idea how his team will look in 2021 and beyond. Or how the Angels would’ve looked. Or any other team, really.
  18. Angels_Fan
    Irrelevant. But I wouldn’t use the reasoning of wanting to win a WS on a 9 year contract, that’s for sure. Because how a team looks like in one year doesn’t mean that’s how they’ll look like the next year...and never mind 9 years. His reasoning was short-sighted, simple. He couldn’t have possibly known whether the Yankees would’ve given him the best chance to win a WS over the duration of his contract.
  19. Angels_Fan
    Are the Yankees going to be a better team or have more chances than the Angels to win a WS from 2021-2028? Please answer that question.
  20. Angels_Fan
    Well, ****. But it makes sense. Those other teams can probably offer more and the Angels aren’t about to overpay on a risky pitcher.
  21. Angels_Fan
    Rendon didn’t specifically say he chose the Angels because he felt they would’ve given him the best chance to win a WS, haha.
  22. Angels_Fan
    It’s simple logic
  23. Angels_Fan
    Nah. I’m saying his reasoning is short-sighted. Which it is. If the Angels win multiple WS from 2021-2028 and the Yankees zero, his decision will look stupid. But that’s the point: he couldn’t have known.
  24. Angels_Fan
    Well, his goal is to win WS, no? That is short-sighted given that he doesn’t have a clue who he will even play with in 2021 and beyond or how the Angels would’ve looked like or any other team. It makes sense for 2020, though. I’ll give him that.
  25. Angels_Fan
    My point was simple. If he’s looking for the best chance to win a WS in 2020, then he probably made the right decision. If he’s looking for the best chance to win a WS from 2021-2028, then he took a gamble based on a hunch. He doesn’t even know who will be his teammates in 2021 and beyond or who the Angels will have at that point. Or how the rest of MLB will look. Things can change fast.
