  1. The last 2 seasons showed an upward trend in "butts in the seats". Arte is banking on this trend to continue despite a marquee off season over pay. If Arte can pull it off during a rebuild it will validate the "best trade is sometimes the one you don't make" mentality. On the other hand, a regression to 2021 levels may be the more likely scenario. in addition, Vegas has the Halos pegged for a 72.5 win season which would be their worst full season since 2019. It will take a gritty effort combined with a relatively healthy year to exceed expectations. But stranger things have happened. We will see what the first 20 brings. 4-16 ? 7-13 ? 11-9 ?
  2. That remains to be proven. Catch me at the All star break. Plus due to attrition, and Perry's trades bombing out, most fans were all for encouraging the youngsters with some big league looks. Plus Jordy hit .359 in 2022.
  3. Let's see how long "Wash" puts up with his baggage
  4. Planning a line up around Rendon could be considered managerial mal practice. Better off planning on him being in the 7th spot (which would be easier to replace should things go sideways in April).
  5. Strad is in mid season form already. My first spring training take gets a "dumb" response. I vote for a Spring training "truce" where posters should be allowed to post whatever they want in without getting bad comments. After all it is Spring training and we are all just getting back into form after football season.
  6. The halos will need a bull pen game once a week, just to keep all those arms somewhat limber. New strategery......corner the market on relievers to dominate the the final 9 outs.
  7. Agreed. Rendon should focus on the important things in life such as his kids. I suggest that he opt out of his contract and spend more time with his family. Then everyone will be happy.
  8. What may be concerning is that even when he was healthy, he struggled to catch up with fastballs, especially up in the zone. Unless that changes, his numbers will continue to regress.
  9. Well someone needed to try and polish this turd.
  10. I like what Washington said in the article by Lyndon Suvanto. "If they can't pull their weight, they're not gonna be on the team". If the halo's actually do cut Rendon, it will be a step to getting the right culture. https://www.sportskeeda.com/baseball/news-if-pull-weight-gonna-team-ron-washington-issues-ultimatum-underperforming-angels-players?key2=1977873
