Mike Trout is one of the best players in baseball Good players are drafted ahead of poor players*. We now have not one but TWO players in our system who were drafted in 2009 ahead of Mike Trout. * For example in the 1999 MLB draft, Josh Hamilton was drafted first. Alfredo Amezaga was drafted 401st. Over the course of his career Josh Hamilton was a better player than Alfredo Amezaga

Oakland just lost. While I'm not a fan of Oakland at all, I really don't want to see the Rangers win the division. At the rate things are going it will be a Rangers-Dodgers world series
-
Alberto Callaspo just botched an attempted sac-bunt. (At least Melvin was calling for a bunt in a situation that actually made sense -- down 1 run in bottom of 11th w/ 0 outs and a runner at 2nd)
-
Tens of A's fans are stunned as Astros left fielder Grossman just robbed a would-be walk off homer to end the 10th inning
-
Well played
-
Even if he gains emotional attachments to the west Coast, there's nothing preventing Magic Johnson and the Blue-uniformed folks up the I5 from offering him a blank check.
-
on that note, if the World Series ends up being between the Dodgers and the Rangers, who would you (and others on this board) root more strongly against?
-
in 2018 Scioscia will still be managing the team ^ you mean like that?
-
Josh Hamilton has produced far less, dollar for dollar -
That picture ranks up there with this one:
-
Angels should offer $180M or so but over longer -- 15 years -- with a huge portion of that ($40M or more) paid in year one. As far as the luxury tax goes, that's based on average annual value, but a big payday right up front would be hard to turn down.

We have a new contender for best baseball movie

All this thing needs is a cameo from Kevin Costner and I'm sold -
I'm going to make a bold prediction: Mike Trout will not leave the west coast He will sign with the Dodgers

F = M*A Bartolo Colon disagrees with you

Post All Star Game: Chris Davis (participated in HRD) : .238 / .308 / .500 Miguel Cabrera (no HRD) : .367 / .466 / .776 All Star Game = kiss of death
-
Hamilton and Pujols are definitely disappointing. Chris Iannetta is pretty good at walking though. Vernon Wells switched over to the Yankees.
-
Earlier this year there was a game in which Josh Hamilton broke all of his bats. According to Victor Rojas, the next closest thing was to borrow one of Mark Trumbo's bats
-
from what *I* remember the board's consensus on trade was, on paper, a fair trade between a risky relief pitcher and a risky starting pitcher. However, many on the board correctly felt that the Braves would likely *appear* to get the better end of the deal as Walden would improve due to the not-being-coached-by-Mike-Butcher effect.
-
It's a bit of both. Trumbo is prone to expanding his zone. When the pitcher gets gifted a strike way off the plate it becomes easy to take advantage of this.
-
Just another in a long line of ridiculous umpire calls favoring the yankees.
-
At least he drives up the pitch count of the opposing team more than Josh Hamilton
-
It's pretty absurd how much the Yankees in particualr get benefits of umpire calls. I really hope the O's and Rays keep them out of the playoffs. (Boston will probably win that division but I don't like them any more than the Yankees)
-
Hopefully we score a run on a wild pitch before Trumbo GIDPs
-
that's why I said "at most". If they are on the roster (which they shoudln't be but will be) they shoudl not displace Richards.
-
Richards should be left alone as a starter next year. Blanton and/or Hanson should be at most bullpen swingman guys.
