Angels 1961

Angels have dug a deep hole that they are now in. Possible to get out of no,  likely but can be done. Win streak of 8 or 9 out 10 gets them back in it.

I say yes. Tweeted this out yesterday. 

 

I would like to sign him for 2024 but nothing will happen till after season. 3 to 4 million. Moose and Drury be vets for young team. 

I think he ends up with Seattle. Dodgers would be obvious team. Betts, Freeman, Smith they surround him with all-stars. Playoffs every year just depends on if Dodgers do a 9-to-10-year deal. 

Long way to go but halos need couple of wins. Need to get thunder sticks out and MAKE SOME NOISE HALO FANS. LET'S GO HALOS

The halos got hot after all-star game and made the decision to make a run at the playoffs. After 7 losing seasons to me it was the right move. It might not work out but I'm glad they did not throw in the raise the white flag. Season is not over. If Ohtani signs with another team this off season Angel's will move on at that time. I still believe halos can get hot and make a run at playoffs.

Big game for Angel's after last night's lose. 

I just called Fletcher but he on the field now

I wonder if he has a rehab assignment when ready.

1. I have no idea. I haven’t asked any people outside the organization about this. But I do know the Angels major league roster is a lot better now than it was a week ago. And they have a better chance of making the playoffs than they did a week ago. 
 

2. I’ll say maybe 25 percent. I’m slightly upgrading what the math says because of the guys about come off the IL and the upgrades already made. 
 

3. I don’t think Arte turned down $3B to do a rebuild. I think if Ohtani doesn’t come back they’ll spend all that money and someone else and try to be as good as possible in 2024.

Arte can still get 3 billion. Halos have decent young core. Vets like Moose, Cron, Renfroe, Grichuk, Lopez, Moore I hope can bring back a few of them.

Halos in good spot. Playing at home hopefully get Drury back and BP rested. Need to win at home starting tonight against M's. Minasian has done his job now players must do theirs.

It's not like you gave up your top 2 prospects. If you did and he gets hammered, you would feel stupid.

Drury big addition going forward maybe see him this weekend.

I don't know anything about Crow. But Escobar so far has been a pretty huge letdown. Hasn't shown much of anything at all.

And now he's a citizen, too. Pfft.

So now you do not have to worry about visa problems in spring.

I see it- I’m liking the job Minasain has done basically re-tooling the team.

Yes, Perry has done a really good job. Nice to be in race.

Let this be a lesson to all you cannot but a trip to WS. Be like Houston invest in thrash cans

It was a good day as Rodriquez turns down Dodgers to stay in Detroit.

Moniak is a great story but he needs to sit some....

Rest for all 3 OF as well until Trout comes back.

A little late to the thread...just heard that the Phillies acquired Lorenzen from Detroit. Is that true?

yes

Welcome aboard Dominic Leone and good luck. Report to skipper Nevin then head to BP. Throw couple shutdown inn and make Admiral Minasian look good.

One move too many. Sometimes you have to stay disciplined and bite the bullet rather than dealing away decent prospects for journeymen. The Angels have are making a calculated decision to go all in, but at a cost. The other moves were more solid and logical. This really doesn't make the bullpen any better unless he greatly improved his career form. But we shall see. 

Jackson is just like guy halos trade for Bundy.

The vast majority of his appearances have been solid. But who leaves the pen for him?

 

The new they have on roster today Victor Medoros

Leone nickname is the denominator.
