This writer is assuming Trout has peaked. I beg to differ. Every year to this point, Trout has improved an area of his game. I don't see how the next 5 seasons would be any different.
 
Is 2016 a dump of a season... it's appearing that way on paper. Are the next 5 years of Trout's career looking the same as 2016? Absolutely not.

I disagree... I think he has a few multiple .300 seasons in store. Maybe even a batting title.

Edited for Nate.

worry about the bullpen on December 10th? jfc

I will be if this is our bullpen in March. 

Escobar for Scioscia?

Escobar is the perfect #2 hitter. 

Gibson's time is now.

Gibson must be our regular stater. No debate, no doubt. It just is.

Gibson
 
Dude is ready.  Get whatever you can for Andersen right now.

Could be the Twins FO trying to establish some semblance of leverage as well. 

Gibson should never see San Diego again.

Keep Gibson in the ****ing net. His time is now

Gibson should get 75% of the starts going forward. He's the future. Barring a complete collapse by him, Andersen should either be traded or backup and Dobby can be sent to pasture for all I care.

right.
with the new cap and their current setup they have plenty of space for another elite guy.
and remember curry gets paid peanuts because he's so young.

We come in here and complain about how much they suck and how we are all for the tank. When they win, you don't want to condemn them for good play, yet, the win affects the long term goal of a top 3 pick. So we sit in silence.

I've seen Kobe be a facilitator in the past. He went through a stretch a few years ago where he tried to get double digit assists for about 6 or 7 games. Then went back to being Kobe. I'd like for old man Kobe to become more of a facilitator.
 
I also wonder if some of us would feel this way about Kobe if we didn't watch Magic do it "the right way" when it came to knowing his role and making the most of it.

If the Angels front office is going to try and assemble a World Series team in 2016, they should place little importance on whether a free agent has a draft pick attached to him. I know the Angels farm system has fallen off but it is nearly impossible to have it both ways and it will be difficult for the Angels front rebuild a farm system at the same they are trying to sign free agents to put the current MLB club in the playoffs. 

Doc, Griffin, Redick all in Houston today trying to beg DJ to come back to LAC

I don't have a problem with those shots that Kobe takes. I have a problem with him jacking up 13 3 pointers. He's not an excellent marksman from beyond the arc. Not consistently anyways.
 
I agree on Randle. He needs to finish stronger at the rim. But I am pleasantly surprised with his ball skills and agility. I did not see as much of this at Kentucky.
 
The bench may outperform the starters a lot this season. Byron might need to look into that and see if any of the bench players need to move up to be a starter to help balance the scoring. But, that also may change as D'Angelo Russell gets comfortable at this level.
