  1. I hope he does disproportionately well against the Tigers. Same with Santana.
  2. It's really starting to look like we should've kept Bobby Wilson -- catching people stealing at second is one thing he could do better than anyone we have now.
  3. What a difference compared to yesterday's game in which the Royals scored two touchdowns and a field goal while the Angels only managed three field goals and a safety
  4. Edited. $42M not $82M.The Astros Payroll though is about $24M as of now -- still less than what Wells is getting from the Angels and Toronto (still paying $3.5M or so of Vernon's signing bonus)
  5. It's also the one thing every opponents announcer brings up when calling the games: "Now here's Vernon Wells, owed $42M the next two years." <horrible batting average is shown on screen> "That's right, Vernon Wells -- The Angels 4th outfielder -- will personally make more than the combined Astros payroll this year"
  6. How about "after this contract is over I'm retiring" ? I suppose that depends on who's saying it though. People didn't seem too upset about Mariano Rivera saying that.
  7. Scioscia should've asked for James Shields... hell even Santana would be an improvement
  8. There's still hope: Walden 1IP 3WHIP 9 ERA
  9. The Royals radio guys are now going on and on about how Conger is gone as he isn't up to Scioscia's defensive standards, followed by discussing the Mathis vs Napoli situation.
  10. If we can get the reds to agree with this perpetual pinch runner scheme we'll be in good shape
  11. A dinger right here and we can call the game due to the 10 run mercy rule
  12. This thread is epic. I'll pile on with this: http://www.hulu.com/watch/19878
  13. "undefeated in spring training" = more season ticket sales I'm beginning to think that Bourjos is no longer the team's strikeout king
  14. If this were the Angels that's a guaranteed GIDP followed by a K
  15. I've long (well, in the last year and a half) said that Wells is the third worst contract on the team. The two others are 10 year deals.
  16. While Albert's on the DL get Calhoun in the game, use Wells at the 4th OF.
  17. Jordan Walden will become dominant. Tommy Hanson will be our team's #6 behind Garret Richards. Joe Blanton will be the team's #3. How about this for a compromise: Butcher should be caned if the Hanson for Walden deal has net negative value for the Angels at the end of the day. He can save his job by Walden being terrible or Hanson being awesome.
  18. Agreed with Iannetta being the best option. His slowness could actuallly be a good thing if it helps keep Pujols from trying to stretch extra bases when he shouldn't Where does Wells rank on your scale by the way?
  19. Bourjos is kinda fast. He should play even if his OPS is slightly below Wells.
