I'd trade Rengifo and make an offer to Justin Turner. He can play 3B, and this team needs a leader. Drury can handle it when Turner-Rendon need a day, or in Rendon's case, a month, off.

If Erstad is named manager, Minasian and whomever his assistant is would not have spaces in the players clubhouse.

Not really. If Ohtani goes, then the DH spot is open. We have the 4 OF, like you said, and we needed every one of them, and then some. If Ohtani leaves, we'd be a little light on LH power. Bellinger also plays GG defense at 3 positions, RF, CF and 1B. So if Schaunel somehow needs some more development time, Bellinger is a very good 1B option.

I'm starting to come around to the possibility that we may actually field a better team without Ohtani, health permitting. Trout and Rendon would both benefit from time as the DH, time that they can't have while Ohtani is here. The financials could be spread among more players, possibly leading to a better on field product.

It would be ideal to sign Yamamoto, he's 25, and doesn't require us to forfeit a draft choice. Would the Cubs get compensation if we signed Bellinger? He is a repeater FA, but I'm not sure.

Gabe Kapler. The Giants dumped him too fast, I think.

I'd have interest in Yamamoto. I think he's capable of double digit wins. And I'd really like Bellinger. His bat came back nicely, and he plays gold glove defense at 3 positions, CF, RF and 1B. He'd be nice to have just in case we run into another wave of injured players.

This one isn't on Roberts. Kershaw is pitching hurt. Urias is suspended. Buehler is hurt, May is hurt. They are relying on Lance Lynn, and some talented rookies. The Angels offense got hurt, the Dodgers pitching got hurt. Either way, the results aren't pretty.

The density of some people. Mike Trout has a full no-trade clause. Based on his performance alone, over the last 3 seasons, Mike Trout is untradeable. Any team that tries to trade for him guts their farm system and everyday lineup, and they go over the cap. Except Oakland. And Mike Trout isn't going to Oakland.

I feel like he will stay. I hope he does.

Adams and Paris weren't quite ready. Injuries cause players to be rushed all the time. IIRC, Adams and Paris were both signed out of High School, which IMO, makes a difference in a player's development, with a few very rare exceptions. Both will become ML players, but how good is still to be determined. My original point was about the pitchers. Bradish has become a very good starter, and Heaney seems to be much more pitch efficient since leaving our system. Maybe we should look into a different developmental approach when it comes to pitching and hitting.

Today's starting pitchers in Baltimore, Andrew Heaney for the Rangers, and Kyle Bradish for the Orioles, were both property of the Angels at one point? Bradish has developed into a solid number 2 for Baltimore, and Heaney seems to be a little more pitch efficient since he left Anaheim.

Just based on the things that I have read, I felt that it was very odd that Minasian and Tamin had space in the clubhouse. I feel like that space is for uniformed field personnel only, manager, players, coaches, and Ippei, in the case of Shohei's translator. The GM and his assistant have offices. They should be conducting all of their business there.

I was listening on radio. It was awesome listening to Rory describe hit after hit.

Congratulations! I was hoping to retire shortly, but it looks like I will have to do a couple more. 36 years in. My job is low stress, at least, so I should be OK.

I was just about to post that. Eppler is available. No surprise here.

In reply to this, I want to respond by stating that any MLB team that goes without their 1-4 or 1-5 hitters for an extended period, like the Angels just did, will likely have the same god awful results that we just witnessed. ScottyH, if you really created an account for this, I hope you find something better to do with your time.

Mathis, Mattingly, Ray Montgomery, Espada. Someone who understands that there are only 27 outs to a game, and we can't afford to waste any. Someone who will play more players like Schanuel and Stefanic, guys who know the value of being on base ahead of our power guys. And, a batting coach that teaches those philosophies.

Starting pitching. Starting pitching, and more starting pitching. I'd also be in on Bellinger, as a FA, and I'd try to acquire Brett Baty from the Mets.

I think Perry is staying. I'm not getting the same feeling about Nevin.

Can we add Gabe Kapler to the list, since he's available now?

Going to Mathis wouldn't be such a bad idea. At least he knows how to manage a game. Nevin has made several errors in judgement that have cost the team games, like continuing to use Loup and Marte in games.

So, our owner has turned into Jackie Autry. Even the cheap beer has essentially disappeared. Mr. Moreno, if you're going to run the Angels that way, please take the 2.3 billion dollars, or whatever it was that you were offered, and move on.
