  1. Just going with completely unoriginal thoughts, but a collection of all yours, I thought I'd just conglomerate them.

    1. During the Prado thread, the idea of a trade involving Santiago for Prado was floated out there, and I think that proposal has some merit to it. The type that fits the needs and goals of both teams.

    2. There's no clear winner in the debate between Heyward, Upton and Cespedes. They all make a ton of sense. I'm not here to declare a winner at all. My own personal preference is Upton, but I think Cespedes will likely cost the least, and not cost a draft pick. Just for that alone, I'll just use him as a hypothetical.

    3. Sign Utley to a one year incentive laden deal. He gets a long look in ST, guaranteed PT until Pujols returns, a chance at the everyday DH or 2B position, or a spot off the bench, gets to play for a contender pretender, makes some money and maybe even re-establish value before FA next year. It's the perfect spot for him.

    4. Sign Cueto. If Eppler really intends to rely heavily on FA, and the Angels intend to preserve their first round pick, which is smart, Cueto makes a ton of sense.

    5. Trade Shoemaker for a solid reliver. The Angels already have so much pitching depth, and to add Cueto almost demands they trade one or two of them.

    I think an opening day lineup with Calhoun, Prado, Trout, Cespedes, Cron and Utley could do some damage. I think a rotation that lines up as Cueto, Richards, Heaney, Tropeano and Wilson could be very solid. Adding another reliever to go in the 7th push Gott into the 6th and gives us a deep bullpen.

    I think in essence, what I'm saying is that when AW puts all its best ideas together, it's pretty smart.

    Fixed.

  2. I don't get the fascination with Starbucks. Paying $5-$10 for a cup of coffee seems stupid. On top of waiting in line for 15-20 minutes to overpay

    Makes people feel better to be able to buy the "top of the line" of something.  Most can't afford the Ferrari but most can afford a caramel machiato, 3 pumps vanilia, soy milk, extra carmel, hold the jizz.  Also caffeine is super addictive.  

  3. Peyts update:

     

    I was so worried about Peyts transition back to school after two weeks off for fall break, but he did really great! No behavior issues at all! His teacher had him as her helper for math this afternoon and sent me this picture! Such a relief! The school psychologist said he seemed a lot less anxious for some reason. ❤

     

    I didn't know elementary schools did two week breaks in mid October.

    Thanks for making a Monday better yk!
