Angel

Oh and stay out of my thread if you have nothing but shit to talk, or I'll fuck you up.

i'll bet you took all you could take.

@Angel earlier this week @nate told you to chill out. @Blarg has asked you to chill out. @Inside Pitch asked you to chill out.  I’ve asked you in private and in public to chill out. I hid your last post because it crossed a line.  If you want to discuss it, send a private message to any of the mods.  Thanks. 

The Yankees, dodgers, and Red Sox say hello.

Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking when I hear the silly things you say...

The thread title is not well structured. I can only imagine how bad it was before.
But, in response to the original post, spending money and not being successful is not to be rewarded. 

“I don’t care” is definitely an opinion.

He's just the business guy.  What's your complaint about him? 
He and Arte go way back in the display advertising business.  They used to travel Route 66 back in the 1930s, putting up Burma Shave signs.

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.

It's fine dude, you get a pass I'm not going to escalate.  I'm not as edgy today, day 3 quitting smoking.  Trying to control my anger and health.

I like the idea of finding talent from a franchise with a well run and super effective front office like the Rays, we have the money.  If they feel they aren't being payed enough for their services making the Rays so effective they should speak up.  We're here to help them help us, our market is huge and we have one of the best players and the most exciting player on the same team. 
*The only caveat* I see with hiring someone from the Rays front office is that we might have too much money, too lax, perhaps the financially restrictive nature of a front office like the Rays is it forces real clever and cost effective methodology to acquiring talent that wouldn't be possible unless we forced the same restrictions on ourselves.

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.

Assuming the Angels sign one pitcher, either Gausman or Stroman, and slot him behind Bundy, how would a six-man rotation look, with Ohtani pitching on Sundays? The problem with the six-man rotation is that it--if unadjusted--gives equal number of starts to all six pitchers, even if some are better than others. Meaning, the #6 starter (say, Barria) would get as many starts as the #1 (Bundy or Gausman/Stroman), unless adjustments were made. You want Ohtani to get fewer starts, but then you want to weight the other starts more heavily towards the better pitchers.
My proposed solution is to have a rotating off day, to have one of the starters skipped every so often - usually Barria as the #6, but occasionally one of the others to give extra rest. It may also be that the problem is naturally "solved" through injury, so that if one of the top 6 goes down, their spot can be skipped or filled in as necessary.
But assuming health, here's how the first month could look:
Week 1, Apr 1-3 (Thu-Sat): Bundy, SP, Heaney
Week 2, Apr 4-10 (off Wed): Ohtani, Canning, Barria, off, Bundy, SP, Heaney
Week 3, Apr 11-17 (off Thu): Ohtani, Canning, Barria, Bundy, off, SP, Heaney
Week 4, Apr 18-24: Ohtani, Canning, Barria, Bundy, SP, Heaney, Canning
Week 5, Apr 25-May 1 (off Thu): Ohtani, Bundy, SP, Heaney, off, Canning, Bundy
Total Starts: Bundy 6, SP 5, Heaney 5, Canning 5, Barria 3, Ohtani 4
And so forth. I'd rather see Ohtani's innings limited then him get fewer starts than one per week, although obviously his starts could be limited later on, especially if they were headed to the postseason and wanted him fresh.
Over the course of a full year, this would yield something like 32-33 starts for Bundy, 30-31 for SP, Heaney and Canning, 20-24 for Othani, and 18-20 for Barria. And again, injuries usually happen, so it could be that Barria would get more starts if one of the top four goes down and Sandoval or Suarez fills in. But that would be the basic template, and the point here is just to show how it isn't that hard to make it work - it just requires a bit of finessing. If I can figure it out, certainly Angels management can.

Uniforms, it's clearly the uniforms

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

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?
