    You can't really compare our farm system to theirs given the structure of the franchises. If we A.) sucked for a really long time in the early-mid 2000's B.)didn't sign a lot of top free agents then our farm system would be a lot better. You can argue that we shouldn't have done B though and kept our draft picks while signing middle of the line free agents.

    That's because there offense is good enough to get a ton of runners on base, so even though they are executing awfully it still leads to a fair amount of runs
  4. KingJustinian
    You're right, back then the team was a lot different. I would compare the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to them though.

    I went over this list http://content.usatoday.com/sportsdata/baseball/mlb/salaries/player/top-25 and tried to think about which ones have worked out. Close to 50% of them have pretty much not worked out already. Another 5 or so worked out okay. A couple worked out well. The rest are players who very recently signed and the outcome is TBD, although a lot of them look promising (Verlander, Felix, Fielder, AGon)

    I was thinking about this the other day and CC Sabathia has probably worked out the best for any organization (still a few years to go though).

    I'm confused, what feelings toward MS did Trevor Bell have?
  8. KingJustinian
    The A's did almost screw themselves out of a win with bad defense though. But the angels didnt capitalize during other points in the game so it didn't matter
  9. KingJustinian
    And it was Jepsen.

    There is a ridiculous amount of venting in this thread for a game where the Angels are up 5-4. I do admit that leaving that many runners on base and CJ nibbling on the corners is extremely frustrating though.

    He said he had a dead arm in spring training some. If anything he probably just needs a trip to the 15 day DL to rest his arm. I know when I pitched in HS my velocity wasn't my max until a few weeks into playing games too.
  12. KingJustinian
    Howie doesn't know when to lay off off-speed pitches, and Darvish throws a ton of off-speed pitches and doesn't always know where it's going. A bad combination.
  13. KingJustinian
    I believe he won't have a good arm unless he loses weight (muscle). Pitchers never lift heavy weights for the chest/arms.
  14. KingJustinian
    I feel like he always starts out rough. Even on his great starts it seems like 1-2 runners get on in the first.
  15. KingJustinian
    It doesn't matter how good your stuff is if you can never consistently control it
  16. KingJustinian
    To a team with Vernon Wells as the #5 hitter
  17. KingJustinian
    thank you for this thread

    Last year we started with the Royals at home, and then the twins.
  19. KingJustinian
    He's really not our #3 though. I'd say that is Vargas. He's just before him so it goes R-L-R-L

    Like Edwin Jackson? ERA the last 3 seasons: 4.47, 3.79, 4.03. And the going rate for him was 4/52. Granted he seems to be a bit overpaid for whatever reason, but a pitcher like that will be a lot more than 2/15.
  21. KingJustinian
    Expected Bourjos, but Trumbo is probably still in because of the small ballpark
  22. KingJustinian
    The fact that he doesn't rely on velocity is actually awesome for him/the Angels going forward as he ages.
  23. KingJustinian
    According to this (may not be entirely accurate) he threw one slider (or the changeup maybe) and the rest fastballs http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2013_04_01_anamlb_cinmlb_1&mode=box#gid=2013_04_01_anamlb_cinmlb_1&mode=plays (click on the play-by-play tab)

    It was a really good sign. The bullpen has a lot of guys that have proven to be solid in the majors for at least some period of time, but have question marks.
  25. KingJustinian
    Maybe he provided all the defense too. CERA!
