Sad to say it was Adenhart for me.

AngelArcher reacted to Docwaukee in Pujols' Historic Decline Revisited
Here's the part I hold against Albert.
His approach.
He didn't have to turn into a guy that gets on base less than 30% of the time. What's the point of him not striking out? so he can hit the occasional hr in between the dozen batted ball outs that he makes? The guy had an incredible awareness of the strike zone.
At some point he chose more hrs for more obp. I think that was a terrible choice. He could have been walking close to 90 times per year. Probably striking out more. In sacrificing those 30+ walks per year, he probably added 3-4 hrs. That's not a good exchange.
Because of that, he stopped being dangerous. Pitchers stopped being afraid of him knowing that he'd swing at just about anything and they stopped throwing him strikes which compounded his decline.
Not sure if it was his own doing or what he felt the team was asking of him to be a 'run producer'. A misnomer in every sense of the word. Being a 'run producer' isn't just about driving a guy in. It includes scoring runs and getting on base on top of that.
So yes. Some of it is Albert's fault.

AngelArcher got a reaction from Deek in Moustakas question
Waiting on what? Do you think the Angels are in on Machado? I don't think they are and if they're interested in Moose, then waiting would be the worst thing to do.

AngelArcher got a reaction from stormngt in Angel freakanomics
Krod signing with the Mets netted Trout. Unless you actually believe they had Grichuk higher on their board. From what I remember, it was an inside joke between Morhardt and Bane taking Grichuk first and possibly a negotiation tactic.

AngelArcher reacted to ten ocho recon scout in Justin Bour has agreed to a deal with the Angels
Reminds me of GA. Once his legs went. Just couldnt drive the ball anymore.
We gave him a bunch of crap on here, but he was one of (for me) thr better "hitters" I ever got to watch.
Just a dick at golf shops, i guess.

I thought rule 5 players had to stay on the 25 man roster?

AngelArcher got a reaction from ten ocho recon scout in Tulowitski for 3B/1B??
This would definitely be a field goal type move, and not even a good one. More like a 52 yarder with a cross wind.
