    Send over a truckload of cash compensation and give them Pujols back, too...

    I'd love to see an Rays v Indians or Royals wildcard game at this point (no Texas, New York, or Baltimore in the playoffs).

    Agreed. Cabrera is having a better year than he did last year. Just shows how silly the Triple crown is. This. It would be a joke for Davis to place ahead of Trout in the race.

    The DBacks owners/management are DBags. I have to side with the drunken celebrating Dodgers fans on this one...

    according to xFIP Joe Blanton is a better pitcher than Jered Weaver
  7. AZMike
    That trade was likely second only to the Pujols deal in terms of long term net damage to the franchise.

    no big deal, this thread is more entertaining than following Angels baseball lately...

    Albert Pujols is dangerously close to passing Joe Blanton as my second least favorite player on the Angels.

    I don't think Frieri could, either. unfortunately there's another relief pitcher on our staff getting paid 15x as much as Frieri I'm not too sure about

    Reagins is doing alright for himself. He inherited a ton of money from some long lost relative (who he didn't even know existed) that died not long after the Wells trade went through.

    benefit of the doubt on umpire calls / east coast bias doesn't hurt, such as Mariano Rivera getting huge strike zones, doesn't hurt either.

    This. The reason his DWAR was so low was he assisted a few homers in going over the wall which would have remained in the park otherwise. His 4 HR robberies in 2012 was also the reason his DWAR was so high that year. IMO That suggest home run robberies are a bit over-emphasized.

    This is not always, strictly speaking true. Just watch the Angels get hot in September/October only to not get a top-10 draft pick. Such unfortunately timed high level of play would also Moreno/Dipoto that we're just one more highly expensive draft-pick-compensation-attached big splash free agent acquisition away from contending
  16. AZMike
    Tyler Skaggs, Patrick Corbin and Joe Saunders for Dan Haren. Dipoto's best move, in retrospect, now appears to be more a result of Reagins' incompetence than Dipoto's skill

    If it weren't for Trout we would have lost this game by more than 10 runs
  18. AZMike
    but his xFIP is still better than both Jered Weaver AND CJ Wilson.

    Trout needs to be able to pad his individual stats so he can get more money from the Yankees in a few years.

    This. If umps on the ground didn't have a good view or it's a close call, they can point their finger up in the air to appeal to the replay booth. A well executed system would take no longer than a home plate umpire appealing a check swing to the 1st or 3rd base ump. This sort of challenge seems like another excuse to drag out the length of the game and add more commercials.

    A few more Callaspo-for-Green type trades could help keep the the stream of high draft picks coming, with the added benefit of helping us remain under the luxury tax cutoff and save more $$ to extend Trout
  22. AZMike
    If we had made ZERO trades or acquisitions since Morales injury in 2010 (at which point I felt the Angels should have gone into a rebuild phase) our team would look something like this: Weaver Corbin Chatwood Saunders Skaggs Bourjos (CF) Segura (3B) Trout (LF) Morales (DH) Napoli (1B) Trumbo (RF) Conger © Kendrick (2B) Aybar (SS) ... with more farm players in the pipeline, for well over half a billion dollars cheaper

    This. With the way things are going the Los Angeles Cubs Angels are on their way to *regularly* finishing in the AL West cellar despite having one of the highest payrolls in baseball.

    If it came down to it, would you root for the Rangers against them?

    Dodgers are 20 games above .500. They were .500 at the end of the first half. Their record in the second half is 23-3.
