I would even go as far as saying Cowart and Cron are both defensive upgrades over Pujols and Cowart at their respective positions.

After hitting .311/.383/.482 with 12 HR and 19 SB in AAA, Cowart has hit .300/.364/.480 with 1 HR, 4 2B, 1 3B and 3 SB in 18 games with the big league club, all the while playing solid defense at 2B and 3B. What gives, Sosh? The fat man has an erection for lite-hitting vets for some reason.

The team's hottest hitter, C.J. Cron is sitting in favor of the struggling Pujols and once again, Pennington in there over Cowart at 2B.

Yes, thanks to your vote and others, we canned the Angels MLB content and went with the OC Register here.

Because sports pundits, minor league analysts/writers and scouts are wrong sometimes. In fact, they're wrong more times than they're right if you had to do the math and look at the %'s. Why do you think there have been so many 1st round busts over the years and why there are also those selected late who have become all stars in the big leagues.

Three Up, Three Down: Parker Bridwell Takes The Lead August 15, 2017 By Kyle Glaser Parker Bridwell | RHP | Angels Who leads all rookies in ERA this season? That would be Bridwell, the Orioles No. 21 prospect who was sold to the Angels for an undisclosed sum in April. The 26-year-old righthander has gone 7-1, 2.88 to propel the Angels into the second wild-card spot, and keep the rotation solvent despite major injuries to Garrett Richards and Tyler Skaggs. Bridwell has done it by primarily drawing weak contact off his hard stuff with movement. He primarily uses a 93-96 mph fastball and 90-93 mph cutter to set up his out pitches, a 92-95 mph sinker and 81-85 mph slider that batters are hitting sub-.215 against, per Brooks Baseball. http://www.baseballamerica.com/majors/three-up-three-down-parker-bridwell-takes-the-lead/#eiU7egq7UR4jP2HU.97

Yeah I'm guessing Scioscia doesn't have any bearing on timely hitting.

The Red Sox also have a former 1st rounder who battled injuries early on having a sensational season in the minors in Michael Chavis. He too is a 3B. .297 .359 .596 slash with 29 HR's so far this season.

Hell Arte could go all in again. Trade for Stanton, extend Trout and with Eppler's eye for talent we could win a World Series, or two. Then if I were him, I'd bounce and sell the team before all of those old-age/past-prime contracts come back to haunt him.

If Pujols went to management and said my last season is in 2018 in an effort to trade for Stanton and take on the $$$ and to have enough to extend Mike Trout, then yes I believe we could do this. Otherwise no chance IMHO.

I'm guessing the Dodgers will pay the price in terms of prospects, players and $$$$.

Welcome to AngelsWin, @GabeS. Please let us know if you need any help using the forum.

Some of you guys suck as oddsmakers and armchair GMs.

He certainly has. Good OBP and I believe he'll hit for more power down the road. Probably 10-15 a season once he completely fills out. My question to you all is, how good is his arm strength and accuracy? How well does he work with the pitchers?

Wow!

Join the club photography club. Also, you're in Seattle too? I have another club for you to join.

OK, the early voting along with my vote (which kind of matters) have me leaning toward going back to the OC Register, especially since @Jeff Fletcher gives us additional insight on the forum and responds to questions here. MLB.com (Angels) bye bye...

Yep. Lots of that this past weekend. Loved it.

Vote!

Vote... The reason I stopped using the OC Register is they had a glitch one day and hundreds of feeds hit our forum that were non Angels related, or even sports related for that matter.

Very true! Also, you're so on point in your Luis Valbuena take.

To be fair, he's been all season.
