So... I gave Arte a "neither approve nor disapprove" - He has proven he'll spend his money (not every org can say that - and that alone almost had me give him a "moderately approve"). I think he's also given fans an improved experience at the ball park... I'm not a big fan of his "meddling" in the baseball operations (see: Josh Hamilton)... I gave Perry a "moderately approve" - While you can't mistake activity for achievement - he has really come up with some creative finds to fix some of the present problems. I LOVE what he did in the draft (all pitching). And I liked the Heaney trade... and I LOVE that we cut ties with Pujols... I gave Maddon a "moderately approve" - Yeah, I find his shtick a little grating and goofy... but I really appreciate his change of direction where Shohei is concerned: "we're going to let him have a say in his workload" - that's a huge reason, in my mind, that we're getting to witness this incredible season for the ages... The hard limit from the prior regime would never let this fly... I also kind of think that with all of the turnover in the lineup this year, it allows an environment for Maddon to really experiment and show his "mad scientist" side - I'd like to think we'll see less of that with a solid and stable lineup on the field...

wait... Anthony who...?!?!?!

Trade deadline is tomorrow! ...err... never mind...

I think this is a fallacy... Our SP only "improves" when we play sub-500 teams... We get hammered by playoff-bound clubs... This team epitomizes a .500 team stuck in no-mans-land...

...but good news: Roger Lodge is still on the radio...

Glass Rendon...

Any time you can work “flummoxed” and his nickname “The Slegend” into an article, even AW can smile...

Price = hard pass

Isn't that kinda like saying: "At least my prom date has prettier lipstick than your pig"...?

We don't want Price either... sat out last year - horrible under pressure... no thanks...

Dogs are going to regret that contract - wow!!

Was never a fan of the guy (but I see the talent)... just want to know now: how much? and will they let him pitch every 4 days?!?!?!?

With many teams (Angels included) spending resources raising the floor on their roster... What's his market at this point...? It feels like no team is able to meet or beat the early-off season numbers being circulated for Bauer...

I've always felt like Suzuki is a really good "glue-guy"... I dig it...

...why wait...?

I"m definitely in the "Vlad-by-far" camp. He's the only Angel I'd stop whatever I was doing to watch his ABs - he was magnetic - And no doubt: Trout is a much more complete player... I'm real leery of overweight guys in the second half of their productive years (Mooo, Cecil Fielder, Pujols, etc.), so my excitement was always tempered... but I'm a little surprised Kendrys isn't getting more play... 1 - Vlad 2 - Greinke 3 - Shohei 4 - Pujols 5 - Kendrys Morales

Bench Pujols… move Fletch to 1B... Simmons at SS... and Goody in RF... and we got ourselves a ball club...

Amen... dude eats big moments for lunch...

Damn publick school math...!?!?!?!?

I like Mouse... but holy-overpay-Batman!!!

C - Bengie Molina 1B: Darin Erstad (loved Wally World too!) 2B: Bobby Grich 3B: Troy Glaus SS: Andrelton Simmons LF: Tim Salmon RF: Vlad Guerrero CF: Mike Trout DH: Chili Davis LHP: Chuck Finley RHP: Nolan Ryan (with a tip of the cap to Weaver) RP: Scot Shields CL: Troy Percival

Happy b-day bruh....

Season over...

He went to the J. Mathis School of Framing...
