  1. Because I've been a fan for 45 years and I will remain one (tho the last several years have been difficult). Not really a matter of fandom, just a complete lack of faith in Arte to do the right thing as far as running a winning organization is concerned. Show me one instance where Arte has seemed to give a $ hit about his image. Can't speak to his financials but I would assume he's still making a profit which is really all that I think he cares about. I'd be thrilled to be proven wrong. Again, I love your proposal. Incentivize winning.
  2. I love the idea of this. Unfortunately I can't see Arte doing it.
  3. I know, small sample size and all but, are we all certain that Soto isn't going to be on the ML roster on opening day? Trade Rengifo while his value is (likely) peaking?
  4. The sale price will be likely be decided before next years win loss record can affect it. Not saying the sale will be complete, but a deal will be in place (hopefully).
  5. You don't think the team was in limbo before this deal??? Dude.
  6. It seems weird to me that I'm far more familiar with the AA roster than the AAA roster.
  7. Justin Bour. Best thing about Bour was that he didn't wear batting gloves. What a parade of garbage this team has run through in the last decade.
  8. Been saying this for lase several years. I like the info (Math) that we now have available but sometimes you just gotta go with the "eye test" and feel.
  9. @Angelsjunky Well done as always. Gonna be an interesting few years no matter what!
  10. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. As has been said, we NEED proven major leaguers. Not a bunch of "IF's".... "if he plays to his potential, if he stays healthy". I realize there's not much you can do to control health, but you can certainly do better than Wade, Velasquez, Duffy, and, excuse me while I throw up in my mouth, ... Suzuki. The list goes on. Trout's gonna get hurt. Rendon's gonna get hurt. SIGN COMPETENT BACK UPS!!!!!
  11. Who's to say Trout adapts to LF any better than Adell in this theoretical exercise? Not arguing or saying he wouldn't but who knows?
  12. TLDR... Personally, I could care less about the current (Ohtani/Trout, etc...) as long as someone (or preferably a group) comes in and invests in the long term so that we can contend annually. Championships are hard, I get it. But at least be competitive. No more "shiny objects" unless it comes with a well-run infrastructure to support.
  13. Recency bias says yes, but there have been some other really bad years. As far as "most disappointing year"? This is it after that hot start.
