    Wow that was a good catch

    Calhoun's only minor league season with an OPS below .900 was in AAA after skipping AA, and it was .877. I sure hope the Angels don't trade him if he is undervalued on the market.

    Unless you're playing in for a bunt the balls come at you just as hard at 1B as they do at 3B, when a lefty is up. The biggest difference is having to throw, and he has a good arm, but he might take too long to throw which could be a problem. Even if the chances of it working out are almost none, I'd be fine with him getting some time there since we're just using a stopgap otherwise for the rest of the year.

    I didn't look far back enough to notice that, but yeah you're right. I still stand by my argument that you can't blame the GM for signing a guy who has had 4 years in a row with 70 games with no problems.
  6. KingJustinian
    Oh, I forgot about that. Either way, that's not a major surgery and he has pitched it 70 games every full year in the bigs.Nothing indicated he would miss significant time.

    Maybe next we should hire a GM that has a magic 8 ball to see into the future. Seriously, how the hell do you blame this on Dipoto? Burnett had no injury history.

    Trade a guy who has a 1.047 OPS this year for a guy who has a 5.22 ERA? Lol... even accounting for it being AAA that doesn't seem like a good deal for the Angels.

    He's be fine for the back end of the rotation, better than Hanson and Blanton.

    We all have our opinions I guess, but it's like hating on the pitching coach when a pitcher does poorly and then he gets canned regardless of his performance, but only to be a scapegoat. We have no idea as fans what is going on and can't accurately evaluate the situation.
  11. KingJustinian
    Exactly, we don't.
  12. KingJustinian
    How do we know he didn't say that?
  13. KingJustinian
    At the time the only moves of his that I disagreed with were 1) Trading 6 years of Segura for a rental which you don't even get a comp pick for anymore and 2) Paying Blanton that much, although I didn't think he would do this bad. I don't blame him that much. Even if Pujols and Hamilton signings are not good value wise, both players should be doing a lot better than this and I don't blame him for that.
  14. KingJustinian
    Well the two big acquisitions haven't pitched in months
  15. KingJustinian
    One of Calhoun, Trumbo, or Bourjos will be gone before 2014. A lot will probably depend on what they get in return. Calhoun is probably the most undervalued on the trade market, unless he does well for the rest of this year. I wouldn't do this trade without something else included from the Yankees, either a reliever or a prospect.

    This. If Pujols is healthy with a .850-900 OPS, and Hamilton hit with about a .850 OPS even, then this team would only be a few games back. Not to mention if they had a serviceable 5th starter. They've also had more than their fair share of injuries.
  17. KingJustinian
    Yeah, I know. I just hope the Angels don't blow up the team. I think they can compete for the next few years if a few things go right, such as Pujols getting healthy and Hamilton playing like he should.
  18. KingJustinian
    Why would we trade Aybar without a replacement?
  19. KingJustinian
    In and of itself it isn't a bad stat. I would look at the ratio of solo HR to HR with runners on.
  20. KingJustinian
    It's too easy to time his pitches when everything is within 5 mph
  21. KingJustinian
    There we go. This offense needs to wake up
  22. KingJustinian
    I never thought it happens in sports but not long ago an NHL player retired and gave up 77 million on a contract because he wanted to go back to Russia to be with his family. As we know Pujols is a family person. Not saying by any means it's likely to happen, but it's possible. http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/blog/eye-on-hockey/22722800/ilya-kovalchuk-announces-retirement

    He's a guy in awful shape that is maintaining his velocity into his 40's. Supplements can help with gaining weight.
  24. KingJustinian
    I'd say he's a solid #2, not a #3
  25. KingJustinian
    Well that helps
