Don't go to sleep on Jake Marisnick, this guy is having a solid spring hitting as well.  I really like he defense and speed too.

He got tired standing around

Montgomery or just a pass on pitching . None of the others are enough of an improvement to pay or take innings from our young pitchers.
With four picks in the top 100 or so, how many will get called up by end of season?

Haha. Cute. Because the first spring training game is the perfect time to judge a player. I’m sure using that same logic you are ready to give Adell the MVP?

Rendon is a cancer 

Yes it is, you got them all correct!

I think Lorenzen could put up a similar fWAR and we don't have to give up anyone to get him.

4 days until pitchers and catchers report 
Thumbs up MLB owners for not caving in to Borass
Is this the latest ever that this many key FAs are still unsigned?

6 days until pitchers and catchers report (except if you’re the Doyyers and Padres, which is today)
Stay strong against the crazy Borass demands, MLB owners!

Because it’s tired. That nonsense gets brought up regularly and it comes across as whiny. Of course the Angels value pitching. 

They need a year to just reboot the culture and expectations. It's been a meat-grinder of a decade of stress and pressure to win with a MLB team and minor league system not able to support that. Throw in all of the turnover in the FO and management, the handful of 'scandals' and bad press and it's left the org in a place where it just isn't desirable.

But the youth in place, an experienced, positive, culture-oriented coaching staff and a savvy GM could turn that around quickly. Skip the big money signings, develop the kids, let the coaching staff settle and farm take a step forward. There's still enough talent here for things to gel and, health-permitting, turn into a fun, young, 85+ win team that competes. All of the sudden that could be very appealing for free agents again.

What plan is Perry on now, he must be at the end of the alphabet.  Probably about plan X, Y, or Z.

Seeing that his OF defense has cratered, there aren’t many options for him here.
