Angel

If he's healthy he should start near the top in my opinion.

I feel like we need to start Ohtani earlier in the rotation to 'see' what's up, why wait so long in the rotation? We need answers and early. He has some of the best stuff in the league. Yet he's a 6 or 7 in your rotations.

Why? Because I am one of the only Angels fans on here who knows that a 60 game season wasn't nearly enough to throw this team away, even though they were playing the best baseball of September in nearly a decade and on pace to easily grab a WC spot in a full season... I guess Yelich is garbage too. You are talking down on a baseball guru and pushing me aside, it's a shame you already tipped your hand. Hopefully I changed your mind, but it doesn't matter, you've been 'told' to hate me via consensus

It was a sarcastic retort for me not getting my way with you all. I'm a little bitch.

Even my opinions get people upset, nice

Save money to burn Pujols contract, sign nobody but bullpen relief, give Ohtani a shot at 3 or 4 spot in the rotation. If he fails like Teheran in his first 5 or 6 starts or gets a season ending injury, look at acquiring a starting pitcher via trade. The core team is very good and is more than capable of competing next season.

No answer, and that's for the best. Stay Lou you.

So the two way dream is dead to you? The most exciting project in baseball (IMO) should be scrapped???? Why? C'mon... live a little, not many teams will get an opportunity to do this, ever. WS rings come and go but players like Ohtani never come.

I remember Lee from the old old Angels.com forum QueenCJ and the Rangers troll CLAW from the post game Mlb.com discussion threads (that no longer exist). Yes I am aware of it all, even browniesfromgrandma.

I find it funny Arte must spend 40 million, like there isn't a pandemic and people losing businesses left and right. Whatever, I'm dumb, you didn't read this post.

Realmente realmente no me gustas

I don't care, I am expressing an opinion that is unique, but I'm not a troll. I've had very productive and fun conversations on this site, I'm sorry some of you only look at the bad in me. I won't be going anywhere anytime soon so you better get used to me, in this account or another, or get on with it and put me on ignore.

Why should someone with ace stuff and shutout the A's in his career get desk duty?

I agree, ukyah is in it for a rise. Aways out to get me

It's a pitching thread Hank, go cry about something non baseball related. But don't cry over baseball, jesus you're making me laugh.

Alright I'm over Ohtani, time to trade him to the Dodgers where he can thrive and Angels fans can appreciate him from afar. Most of you just want a ring for Trout anyways, no matter what happens after right? Ohtani will get you that ring, through returns.

If you don't give Ohtani a starting spot he will start looking elsewhere, seriously I feel like some of you genuinely hate the guy or want him on your Dodgers. Well, I told you so remember that. Perhaps it's best for Ohtani to move on, imagine what we could get for him? A bunch of way less exciting players, that's for sure.

So if we sign a starter Ohtani won't get a shot? Who gets canned? Canning? I'm confused, since Ohtani should fill Teheran's spot, who else deserves the axe? Nobody.. but apparently it's Ohtani. I guess he'll be a star on the Dodgers, they'll make him Babe fucking Ruth.

Like I said, the players don't need to change the front office needs to change. And if they do that, new uniforms to signify a new direction. Get used to it, I'm going to keep saying it until it happens.

Uniforms, it's clearly the uniforms

Someone needs to risk their career, go up to Arte and tell him baseball isn't billboards and he's playing with dynamite.

Yeah if Arte is planning on hiring a GM to fix the current situation (without expanding the luxury tax threshold) he's just shooting himself in the foot to look alive, the current squad is ready to go. I'll keep saying it. Any changes to the rotation or lineup is backtracking.

We don't even need a GM this off-season, that's how much better I feel we are than the previous seasons. In fact, the more we try to 'fix' the worse the team and team chemistry will be. So tread carefully on what we really need, it aint the lineup, it really isn't the rotation either, defense + bullpen just needs to pan out better. Teams would kill for our lineup and rotation imo, especially if Ohtani pans out on the mound. There's only one way to find out! That's why I find Arte made a terrible move firing Eppler, he now HAS to sign a GM who will then make impact moves just to make noise.... this is going to be a disaster. Shooting ourselves in the foot just to look alive.

Losing Teheran makes us a lot better. How many good pitchers from this year are we going to rid of for more outsiders who will fail us? Like Teheran? Let's not make too much noise, the team is actually already very competitive. You saw it, I saw it, a bad start magnified issues that aren't that big anymore. They killed it last month, and it wasn't a fluke. The more we change this team, the worse it's going to get, there's chemistry I haven't seen since long ago.

Teheran is gone, he really skewed the stats. It's not the main issue, the bullpen and defense was, Adell likely won't be in the MLB next season so that helps.
