I can’t say that I agree with stretching out Wantz and now Soriano as SP depth, especially with other options out there. If we need another SP, we should just sign one of Bauer, Clevenger, or make a deal toward the end of ST for another option. The bullpen could be a strength of this team with Soriano down there.

This happens any time a star player files for FA in baseball. It was just magnified because of what Ohtani was doing while he was here. Now that he isn't here, that focus will go to Ohtani's new team, in this case it is the guys across town. For the Angels, it will provide a return to normalcy, and a chance for other players to shine, especially the younger guys, like Schaunel, Neto, and O'hoppe. With full season contributions from those guys, and a return to health from others, specifically Rendon and Trout, I think we'll see a good team out there.

I'd offer Bauer the ML minimum deal that he said he'd accept, and offer Bellinger a 5 or 6 year deal. I really think we haven't done anything to replace Ohtani's impact on our offense.

I'm really starting to wonder what we're going to do with all the relievers we've signed. Estevez, Soriano, Joyce, Moore, Stephenson, Garcia and maybe Cimber and Plesac are the guys that should be down there on opening day. Where do the guys like Cisnero, Warren, Wantz, Herget, Suarez, Bachman and the others fit? I think that at least one or two of them will be traded toward the end of ST to add depth in the lower levels of the minors.

If he can hit .240, and save 4 or 5 runs a season with his glove, then he'd be worth his deal.

This guy. His 1979 season was incredible!

Baseball America: Don't sleep on Griffin Canning in 2024
AngelStew43 replied to Chuck's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
I'd really like to see our young starting pitchers really take a step up, and try to make it to 30-31 starts and 170-180 IP. Especially Canning and Sandoval. If the group can do that, the team should have a very good season. -
Houck’s numbers would probably improve outside of Fenway, also their infield defense was lousy for most of the season, until Trevor Story returned to SS.

My point is that we lost 40 HR, 100 plus RBI, 100 runs scored, and 25 SB when Shohei left town, and we haven't done ANYTHING to address that loss. It will take contributions from more than one player to replace what Ohtani alone provided. If we must stay within the budget, Turner and Votto are two good choices.

Angels sign Robert Stephenson (3 years, $33 million), DFA Rivas

We don't sign anyone, and people complain. We sign someone, and people complain. One of the areas we needed help with was the bullpen. Now, with Estevez and Stephenson, the bullpen is a lot better. We now have a good young core of position players, a good group of young starters, and an improved bullpen. This team is better than some of you think.
