More like finding out even the ugly girls don't like you.

The worst part of signing this crappy FAs is this: "The Angels didn't have a pick in the second round of 2006 (due to the signing of Jeff Weaver), either of the first two rounds in '07 (Gary Matthews Jr. and Justin Speier), the first round of '08 (Torii Hunter), the second round in '11 (Scott Downs) and the first two rounds of '12 (Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson). Then there was the December signing of Josh Hamilton, which eliminated their first-round selection this summer." We lost top prospects so that we could get Jeff Weaver, GMJ, Justin Speier, and Scott Downs. It's worth the risk for Torii Hunter or Pujols (even CJ Wilson) but we gave up our top prospects for guys that were bad players signed to bad contracts.

Home runs are a false stat.

The Nanny Stopper

Walks are a false stat.

.260? If only!

Does he?

I know what you mean. Why would we expect to score any runs with Trout, Trumbo, Hamilton, and Pujols in the lineup?

Sadly, that's the market. Blanton is making half as much as CJ. Makes CJ look like a bargain.

Games gained on the 2nd wild card spot in the last 10: zero

That's the positive spin. The negative spin is... what did they know that we did not?

Ow. My eyes!

Yes, he does.

Luckily, Hamilton's contract is not 10 years. Pujols has a horrible contract. Hamilton's is only half as bad.

So then why did you say they are selling high?

Think someone will want to trade for him?

Over the last 10 games the Angels have picked up 1 game in the wildcard race and no games on Texas and Oakland.

Angels know how to drive them in!

Yes, it was. Even an out scores a run most of the time.

Most of us wanted to do the trade, but quite a few people said he was fat and played bad defense.

Blanton should have never gone out there for the 7th.

But he does it anyway...

Angels are still only .500 over their last 10 games, so let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Yes, and also how bad most of the guys behind him are.

Fat Trout sucks.
