I'm still here, I'm just not wasting pearls of wisdom on the swine it's a wasted effort. Those who actually want to talk baseball I respond to, those who like to ridicule just to ease their phallic deficiency syndrome like Lou, why bother?

@ukyah: first off this is a fans message board. Everyone who is a fan is entitled to post here. I called Lou a bully because that's what he is, pure and simple. Any one who thinks they have a right to try and intimidate another poster or roast any other for expressing their opinion is a bully. It is what it is. 
You want to call me a troll,  that's fine. That's your opinion I don't happen to agree with it but it's still your right to post it so I accept it for what it is. 1 post or 10,000 posts it doesn't matter.each one should stand on its own merits.
that why I called Lou what I did, he acts like the sheer weight of his number of posts earns him the right to be the thought police. guess what it doesnt. In these United states, we are all equal, born with inalienable rights and a responsibility to speak out.
anyone who thinks that by the sheer force of their personality, that they can tread on another's free speech is a bully and I will call them on it. And as for stradlings position that real men don't call other men bullies, Hogwash!!! It takes a person with conviction to stand up in a community and risk disapproval to state what might be an unpopular opinion. King George in 1776 wasn't to thrilled with the idea of revolution either. I guess that if there was a public forum back then he would have called all Americans trolls and douchebags too.

a fair take, i mean 12M as opposed to 245M
i think both of us agree that the money would have been better spent on Madbum, Ryu and Donaldson, but thats hindsight

thats fine, you just act like one, I get it

Well also, the Angels are definitely not so deep that they really need to be worried about the guys they’re exposing in the rule 5 draft.  I get that there are people who don’t think much of Wilson.  He seems to profile as a typical high floor, low ceiling type of college bat.  But who knows he could be better.  We won’t know anyway.  At least not to our benefit (or otherwise).  But that aside, he was still probably a top 10 guy in our system.  And let’s face it.  The Giants liked him enough to cough up 13 million.  They sure as shit don’t give a damn about Zach Cozart.  You’re never going to get teams to cough up money for genuinely trash prospects.  Wilson is a useful asset.  Which is why this whole thing happened in the first place.  And also why he was drafted 15th overall.  

I don’t like the Wilson trade and have made that known.  But my issue is more the idea of using prospects to dump money is bad.  They’ve only done it the once so whatever.  I’m not going to try and justify it tho.  It looks bad. 

Bill, all I can say at this point is that poetry is the voice of the heart.  

That’s cool man.  But seriously. And I’m not trying to be condescending.  AW is a cool place.  Lou and Stradling are cool so you don’t really need to worry about them.  But in general online it’s a bad idea to use your name on Internet forums.  I would urge you to change that. 

compared to you and lou, im the Smartest man in the World
go play with your tinkertoys and legos

thank you Tdawg, I dont really agree with Trump but now I at least understand why he wants to build a wall

He learned a lot from his mentor Dora the Explorer.

SHOWS HOW LITTLE YOU KNOW
i happen to be a met fan, but being from NY we arent as ignorant about other teams as some fans of other teams can be
you expect calloway to make your staff better. we already learned that as a manager he was incompetent much like Eppler is proving to be
the only reason I suggested Happ was because looking at your rotation I figured he could help and wouldnt cost you anything but money
but youd rather have a staff with a guy who is coming off tommy John surgery and a bunch of #4 starters

Unlike the angels though, the Yankees have real quality starters. So I doubt they'd be interested. But hey I was just passing the news along. 
Heck, not being from the West coast maybe Angels fans don't care about winning as much as we all do in the east. I don't know what to think after reading some of these posts.
who in their right mind would trade Lindor AND Clevenger for Adell and Marsh. As it stands Mike Trout himself couldn't get Lindor and Clevenger. Cleveland is only trading them cause they are trying to save payroll and the Dodgers have better prospects to offer

You forgot one.....
the picture of the Angels players on the team plane going to the playoffs
 

The last 4 words of your post are gold.
That they are 
 Kirby Yates was Just Another Guy in NY. But in San Diego he became Superman

youre right of course. ill always root for Mike, but Lou gets my dander up because he doesnt realize how important having someone to take the ball every5th day is

im a mike trout fan for years he went to school with my cousins in joisey, and they clued me in, we all were heart broken when he was drafted one pick before the yankees picked and the three of us have rooted for him ever since
each of us has a signed trout jersey that  we got mike to sign at yankee stadium in 2013
