Angels Never Die

If you could just remove injuries from any past player's career (is no longer in the league), who it would be, and why? You can pick one Angels player and one non-Angels player. Lets exclude death as an injury considering it's so emotionally charged. My non-Angels pick is Nomar. I'm very tempted to pick Kerry Wood because it'd be interesting to see what his true upside would've been sans elbow/arm injuries, but with Nomar, we very much saw how good he could've been and I would love to see how great his career could've been if he remained that solid defensive SS and high average/extra base power combo. My Angels pick is Tim Salmon. I'm forever an undying Tim Salmon fan I guess, but just the longevity of his career with the Angels, him having a lot more complete seasons, especially later in his career when the Angels were more on the fringe and his health could've made the difference in team success.

All the time. 

Wasn't he in the same FA class as Yoan Moncada? I don't remember.

For some stupid reason(well we do know why) they still haven’t released the Polk county numbers either from what I understand.  They’ve had them for more then 24 hours now.  Polk County is a Bernie stronghold in Iowa. 

Bernie won in Iowa and whenever they finally put out the results that will be borne out.  They gave Pete some wind but young voters hate him  and he’s not viable and this game they played didn’t fool anyone it seems.  Biden supposedly had a firewall with black voters that would be demonstrated in South Carolina but even 538 is showing that Bernie has closed the gap with him there.  He’s got a real shot.  

I do, I just logged in after a long time, but I've been lurking occasionally. It's she now, not he 🙂

It is annoying to lose a first round pick so soon, it feels like it was wasted at some point.

AW popped in my head recently with the Angels draft. I don't follow baseball as closely as I used to, but I thought I'd peek my head in for the fun of it. I don't know if anyone would even remember me lol. I hope everyone is doing well, it looks like the site is progressing as much as it always had. Well done, Chuck.

I really wish they took Rutherford in the 1st round, but based on my admittedly draft ignorant opinion, they look like they've been having an interesting draft. Can't wait to see who might pan out.

Yeah, very much shades of Cron.

They're trolling us.

Why would that matter? They're doing the Mets a favor or something? Last time I checked this was a business, not a charity.

Aren't most catchers who eventually develop into that kind of player not selected as high as Ward was? Catchers seem to be the biggest crapshoot in the draft. To me, they shouldn't be that enamored about a catching defensive specialist in the first round, they should be able to be acquired in other ways.
