My head is spinning with all the directions this thing could go. Do we start Green at 2b and go after one of the big pitchers? That freed up payroll is gotta be used somewhere, and I wouldn't be surprised if we did it.

You have to think Dipoto isn't finished now. Interesting to see where he goes now with some freed up payroll.

Would we want any of these guys, and if so, what would it take?

The Trout contract is looking better every day..

Apparently theyre not done. People saying only Kimbrel, Freeman, and Simmons are safe. Fire sale!!

No thanks. Loved him when he was here but I would rather have Cron DH and Cowgill/Navarro as the 4th OF. Keep in mind Scioscia will want to rotate the DH spot to give a rest for Pujols, Hamilton, etc. 

I think this will go down somewhat similarly to Trumbo last winter. Im guessing a deal gets done at the meetings in early December. Remember that report about 10 or something teams interested in Trumbo last year? I also don't buy Dipoto saying he's our starting 2B for sure. If an attractive offer comes at the meetings, you trade him. As previously mentioned in this thread, there are some decent internal options to fill in the spot at second until this Cuban prospect we just signed or someone else is ready. 

iirc, didn't Angel Stadium get rid of Aramark? That story is disgusting.

Dipoto is getting after it this week!

Tropeano 89-94 mph wi run/sink, fringe/avg breaking ball that he throws for strikes and a ++ CH as his out pitch. Strike thrower misses bats

not bad for a backup catcher....

Tigers fans already whining on Twitter about Trout being overrated and how VMart will win "easily"

@MikeDiGiovanna: For anyone thinking Joe Maddon is coming back to #Angels, MGR Mike Scioscia said, "I'm coming back next year, for sure."

Interesting. So what is the list of teams looking for a manager right now?

Not sure. Have to think Maddon is going to LA though.

@Buster_ESPN: Sources: Manager Joe Maddon has exercised an opt-out clause in his contract and is leaving the Tampa Bay Rays immediately.

Wow. Wonder what he'll do with a payroll like that.

watched on tv. Heard almost no crowd noise, the place sounded silent in critical moments of the game. Everyone sitting behind home plate never stood once or even seemed to be watching the game. The people in the dugout suites were definitely not watching the game.

it was pathetic.

It was rocking in the upper deck...guess it didnt translate well to tv.

Were any of you actually there?! It was rocking in my section the whole game. Could barely hear any PA announcements

Ill be attending my first games tonight and tomorrow! I was 10 in 2002, (sorry if it makes you feel old!) and I never got the chance to go in the late 2000's due to school/sports. Im in college now so all my classes are done by the afternoon. I just attended my first hockey playoff game at the Honda Center this year as well, cant wait to be in that type of atmosphere in the Big A!

Ill be there for both Game 1 and 2

That cant be right....thats ridiculous.

Trouts walk off on the 4th and Richards' complete game shutout in LA would be my 2 other favorite moments.

Found 2 seats in 524 for game 1 a couple hours ago. Pretty satisfied that I now have tickets for Game 1 and 2 at face value. Hope to potentially buy more!

Just thought id let you guys know this show on FS1 right now is featuring the Angels, some fun locker room and micd up stuff so far.
