Have the Angels won a playoff game with Trout on the roster? How many times have they gotten to the playoffs with Trout on the roster? If Trout really wanted to win, he would not have signed an extension with a team that has not won the whole time he has been on it.

Congratulations on one of the worst takes in the history of AngelsWin.

Way to wear the pants, Albert.

Remember when Pujols' wife announced his retirement on IG? 
Good times. 

What? I can't hear you. Could you use bigger, bolder font?

Should've included him in the Fowler trade so he can retire where he actually played good baseball.

He wouldn't have signed an extension with a team that hasn't won and showed no signs of trying to if he was eager to win. He's now eager this year after looking at his teammates? He was consulted by ownership and this team is the result? That's sad. The team is better on paper but are not favored to win the division and many don't even have them making the playoffs. Odds are once again against Trouts team.

Man I’m excited to watch this guy close out games this year.

Bauer telling someone to treat their fans better is quite possibly the most hypocritical thing I’ve heard in a long while.

Twins just got better.

The 2002 World Series. All my friends we Giants fans and I wanted to be the rebel so I went with the Angels and just fell in love with everything about them. From the uniforms to the stadium to the players. 
 
And it was also my first little league team.
 
Troy Glaus was my idol growing up. I modeled my whole game after him (not a good idea btw)

Oh okay I understand that. For me personally it wouldn’t matter to me because I didn’t become a fan of them for geographical reasons since I live in Sacramento.

I watch every Angel game I can. I watch most post season baseball.  Outside of that I don’t watch much baseball.  I’m an Angel fan first a baseball fan second. 

2005. Angels had a heck of a team and an even better coaching staff. They probably should've won the World Series that year. 

Ummm... this is an Odorizzi thread.

This is true except for the fact that it's not. They will have a gaping hole at SS. Possibly 1B if Walsh doesn't work out. It'd be nice to have a better catcher. So I'll give you 3 so far if Stassi plateaus and isn't the answer. 
4 rotation spots? They have Ohtani, Sandoval, Barria, and Canning right now. They will spend the year evaluating Detmers, Suarez, and Rodriguez. So you project 7 possible candidates for your rotation next year. All 7 of them are young and have a really good chance to improve. Of course not all of them will, but all 7 of your candidates for 2022 (unlike Heaney, Quintana, Bundy, Cobb...Bauer, Odorizzi, Walker, Paxton, Happ, Lester, Ray, Minor, Morton, Smyly, or Richards) are young and likely to be better next year. You can afford to trade for improvements once your prospects reestablish their value this year. So you probably are looking at 1-2 spots to fill depending on what you want. 
Bullpen? You lose Igelsias and Claudio. You also have young guys who can possibly fill that role in 2022 like Rivera, Yan, or Reyes that should improve this year. They will likely easily replicate Claudio's production. So you have 1 spot to fill with Iglesias. 
Being generous you are looking at 6 spots to fill. That includes Walsh being a bust, Stassi not working out, and only 2-3 of the young starter taking a leap forward; meaning Ohtani can't pitch, Suarez stinks, Sandoval doesn't figure it out, and Rodriguez isn't ready ALL happening. Canning and Detmers are safe bets. We know what Barria is. If nobody else hits, then we still have 2-3 spots to fill.
