All in on Maddon!!!

Young and... average. 

One that knows how to build a team and stops wasting Trouts career. 

Time for a new GM.

Trade him.

Justin Upton has got to go. Send him to the Diamondbacks for Tomas' corpse.

It’s well known Puig is a distraction at times but had never read or heard anything negative about Grandal.

Would you mind posting your source?

Current Dodger. 

This is stuff people arent gonna publicly blast someone about because it's not Puig level craziness. It's more tolerable of a personality but still one you're not sad to see go. 

Just saying, on an Angels site, let's not target him.

Considering the Dodgers made 2 straight World Series with him, he doesn't appear to be all that detrimental to the clubhouse.

They are 32 games above .500 after getting rid of two bad clubhouse guys in Puig and Grandal.

I'm curious about this statement as I've not heard this and would be interested to find out what you know.  Is he a clubhouse cancer?  Milwaukee hasn't played great this year even though barely own the 2nd WC.  Could he have something to do with that?  

He's the obvious choice for a position player upgrade.  

If for some reason the Angels absolutely whiff on every possible pitcher then they could go big on Rendon and make a trade for some pitching.  That would be sort of painful though because then they'd be moving from a pool of players I'd like to see them keep like Fletcher, Rengifo, La Stella, and Thaiss.  

It's always risky to make a move that requires a corresponding move.  I'd rather see them overpay a bit for pitching. 

Yeah, he can swing the bat. Definitely not going to deny that. But from what I've heard, from ex-teammates, he's an arrogant d-bag who is me-first. Plus, he gets pulled defensively every year in the playoffs.

Grandal is such a terrible character guy. Please no to him.

Just give Trout the MVP now. It's a lock.

Justin Upton needs to be traded in July. 

Was just looking at his numbers today... he is incredible. Looks like he can have his best year in his career so far. They really need to figure out this pitching thing. This team is getting a career year from La Stella as well, yet they're under .500. It's unacceptable really. 

I never understood why we went after a reject that Detroit spit out. Ridiculous. 

This has been one of the worst managing jobs I've witnessed. 

Cozart such a waste of money.

This contract extension really seems to have made Trout completely comfortable and at ease. Greatest player in the history of MLB. Wow.

Pretty depressing hearing the PA announcer say the active roster names out loud. This team severely lacks talent...

Looks like he has no confidence. 

Big fan of Marsh. Hope he can take over in the corner and we find something for Upton when he is ready.

Maitan 3B of the future. I like what I see with him.

For me, the biggest thing I hope the new coaching staff learns early is that Cam Bedrosian can not be trusted. I get the bloodlines and the decent mechanics, but he doesn't seem to mix up his pitches well at all. He has too good of stuff to be so hittable. 

I hope the FO can move him.

I really wanted to make a trip out to a 66ers game to see him play, but he was gone to AA before I got around to it.  I hope he pans out the way people are projecting...

 I went to a couple of games and he sat. I did get to see Marsh and he's pretty physically impressive himself. Definitely a starting Major League OF potential. 

Another reason Trout should stay. Adell and Ohtani on low dollar deals... once Pujols does what's right and retires we will be able to get Trout all the help he needs and it will be sustainable. 

“Everybody can say whatever they want,” said Tyler Skaggs. “I know it could be considered tampering. I’m a Laker fan, so I know all about tampering. Ultimately it’s Mike Trout’s decision. Everybody can say what they want. I don’t think any one person is going to sway Mike. It’s all up to him, what he personally wants to do.”

Gold.
