Angels 1961

Remember Roberto Baldoquin

Season is over and will not be played.

I would like to see it but many players will oppose it. Being away from families for 4 months. Mike Trout and his wife expecting in August and to be away during that time for any player would be hard. For selfish reasons I hope they can pull it off.

Thaiss, Ward, Walsh...are any of those guys sure things to out-perform Albert? No, at least not yet. Assuming we have a shortened season, they can try to earn playing time this year. Either way, I would  be surprised if Albert isn't on the 2021 roster. He has some value,  if only as a clubhouse guy and mentor to the younger guys. One roster spot isn't a huge loss, especially with it increasing to 26 and a couple two-way players in Ohtani and Walsh.

Walsh does not qualify as 2 way player. He would be taking spot for a pitcher.

Play games in morning start at 8am or 7am and play night games. Have games go only 7 inn. Games at night start at 830.

Games in Phoenix during summer sounds awful for the players.  

Could have morning games and night games. First game start at 8am. Heard they would play 7inn games with many DH.

Angel would be Jackie Warner.

When playing in front of empty stadiums first came up in March I thought it was a ridiculous idea and felt it wouldn't make good business playing without the revenues of games.  However it might really be a great idea.  All live sports are cancelled.  Sports fans across the country are begging for sports to follow.  And if baseball comeback they would have a monopoly with the news.  No NBA playoff hype.  No NfL Camp or draft.  No NBA draft.  No hockey.  Only baseball.  Mlb would have a monopoly to brand the sport.

NFL is having a draft

I hope it's a troll

First I hope we have some kind of a season. Like the flu comes every year hope corona does not. If we have a season it will be a lot shorter so maybe trades will happen sooner. Bleacher Report had a trade where Angels get Jeff Samardzija. Let's just hope we have a season so we can all out to watch a game.

Which is safer for trolls?

Not now toilet paper hard to get

Is a joke still a joke if nobody laughs

If there is a season may only be 80 to 90 games but total season maybe lost. Do minor league players still get paid?

Who determines a troll, do we have a troll dictator? Is there a test for it or is it just one persons opinion? Can you just ignore someone's topics? Do some take topics to serious? Do some not know where some trade rumors start? World is upside down now is this important as baseball may be gone this season?

With this season shortened or totally lost will Angels sign Albert to an extension? This would give Albert a chance to reach 700. What say you hubs?

700 HR

He should make the team when they play platoon with Albert.

This was not my trade idea but one on Bleacher Report. Calm down Hubs life is short.

Jeebus man, you've gotta stop with these one word titles.

"Trade" makes me think there is a trade happening. Not that you have some bullshit trade idea that makes little if any sense. This is not a chat room, it's a message board.

ALSO...why would the Giants do this when they want to cut payroll. Maitan has been underwhelming at best. Half I could see. But more likely it would be Samardizja for Maitan and another prospect and the Angels would take on 90% of the salary.

This was a proposed trade on bleacher report, not one I made up.

Right now there is little chance opening day will take place so adding payroll with no income isn't going to happen.

I was thinking if everything was normal.

Would you trade Kevin Maitan for Jeff Samardzija if Giants picked up most of money on his contract?

Shorten season like during strike years. Strange times hope all are well. If season gets cancelled players still get paid full amounts?

Arismendy Alcantara is looking like the only non-roster position player who might have a shot at cracking the roster, especially if they want to keep Rengifo in AAA for regular playing time and count on Fletcher as the 4th OF. 

He’s getting enough looks at SS I imagine he’s getting a little bit of consideration and his versatility and speed would come in handy for Joe’s style. Maddon managed him a bit already back in ‘15 with the Cubs so he’s familiar. 

I like Alcantara and think he gets final roster spot. Stassi backup catcher, Fletcher 4th OF and Thaiss since Albert cannot play 1B everyday. Hermosillo could be other option.
