And that was just last year.

The Ghost of Bob Starr reacted to Stradling in Salmon vs. Trout
Actually Soto, Splint is in his 50's. My guess is he prefers Salmon to those guys because he started with the Angels and was here his entire career. I also know that Nolan is his all time favorite player.

If not for weed being on the violations list, the Angels should explore trade options with the Rockies. After all, even the AAA team plays in Colorado...
It's now 4:20 for 18 hrs a day here.

That's too small for most of the members here.

The Ghost of Bob Starr reacted to Second Base in Salmon vs. Trout
The use of WAR for Hall of Fame purposes is moronic in the first place. Trout's accumulated 20 WAR so far. At this pace, he could play 6 seasons, accumulate 60 WAR, call it quits and be a HOF candidate, all at age 26. By that measure, he could be in the HOF at age 31.
Seriously?

The Ghost of Bob Starr reacted to Angelsjunky in Salmon vs. Trout
It saddens me that Mike Trout has made some fans so jaded that a 40 WAR career becomes "mediocre." OK, it doesn't really sadden me, come on, dude.
By the way, according to Fangraphs Salmon had 35.1 career WAR, so he's even worse than you thought.
Anyhow, understand that Fangraphs follows these general guidelines:
0-1 Scrub
1-2 Role Player
2-3 Solid Starter
3-4 Good Player
4-5 All-Star
5-6 Superstar
6+ MVP
Now look at the same chart with number of years Salmon's accomplished the feat:
0-1 Scrub (3)
1-2 Role Player (2)
2-3 Solid Starter (3)
3-4 Good Player (2)
4-5 All-Star (3)
5-6 Superstar (1)
6+ MVP (0)
That's 14 seasons, but in three of them he played 76 or fewer games, and five 100 or fewer - so he really only has 9 full seasons and 5 partial seasons. But Salmon has had 4 All-Star or higher caliber seasons, and 6 Good or better, 9 in which he was solid (average) or better. In 1672 games he had 35.1 WAR, which is an average of 3.4 per 162 games.
He's nowhere close to being a Hall of Famer, and I wouldn't say he had a great career in the larger scheme of things - but he had a very good one.

I enjoy the one that says Ryan Dempster and Jonny Gomes...it's like reading some of the trade proposals on this board.

Mike Trout would be dead to me if he played for the Red Sox.

So if its got a specific date attached to it then it has nothing to do with a team move. Its either site news (like a Gammons chat) or some promotional thing.
Chuck, stop plying "just the tip" with us and go balls deep.

Very under-appreciated post.
Someone dragged out the dead horse and the old sticks again.
