I'm glad the Angels can get the league minimum back from the Dodgers. I wish nothing but the best for Pujols. I'm thankful the Angels can move on. More playing time for Walsh and Ohtani, both of which are far more exciting players now than Pujols.

I looked for this and couldn't find it. This is my winner.

Altuve moved his little clicker box.

I want to see Trout pitch before I cast a judgement.

Thanks, Stradling. I'm seriously getting old [and Blarg, if you google "Jose Rojas" you will get baseball reference giving you a link to Franklin Barreto]. BTW, you helped me look again and find this article: https://www.latimes.com/sports/angels/story/2021-04-08/jose-rojas-tale-how-orange-county-kid-made-angels-roster I like his story.

Someone help me out. When Franklin Jose Barreto Rojas arrived to the Angels, wasn't he referred to as Franklin Barreto? I understand wanting to go by Jose but my understanding is that Barreto is his paternal family name and Rojas his maternal. Therefore, his Anglicized family name should be Barreto. I seriously thought we got a new player (plus his play in spring ball was like he was a new player).

It was painful watching Buttrey against the Padres yesterday.

I'd prefer this homegrown Angel:

Lou has spoken.

"Ish" as the kids say today.

Probably the cheapest plan and the one Arte will endorse. BTW, I miss Scott Shields.

I don't mind Trout's arm, Stradling, but you are right he can move to left. I'm thinking of the legs and wear and tear as he ages. Since Maddon has talked about reviving the running game, I was thinking that Hamilton or Bradley, Jr. could be options instead of just focusing on RF. Trying to think of ways of improving offense.

When will it be time to move Trout to right field? Are there any good CFs out there that would move to roving outfield when the prospects come up?
