GIDPujols has them both beat

Let's be honest here.

Cal Ripken Jr doesn't belong in the HOF. He is the all time leader in GIDPs.

Anticipating that Yu/Suk match up.

You should read through a gameday thread.

If anything, I'm betting its more a reference towards cano than trout..

To keep it plain and simple, I'm tired of watching him hit into double plays.

Winning a bunch of games in April and May probably does wonders for "chemistry", Mike. 

I just have a feeling that if this team is good enough to make the post season in the near future that one of Aybar or Hamilton is going to have a mental lapse of some sort in a crucial situation and really F us. Trade Aybar for another quality SP, free up his salary and sign Choo give Romine and his glove the job.

Aybar for Neise and then sign Choo and we have ourselves a hell of a ball club

Better yet, wait until Blanton is named the 5th starter after beating out Santiago or Skaggs

OK, Jerry has officially lost my support.

Give him an 8 year contract.  Even years he gets the league minimum and odd years he gets 15mil. 

So another year like the last one, yeah?

addition by subtracting his would be 87 rbi against us next season. 

Hamilton needs to focus on breathing out of his eyelids like the lava lizards of the Galapagos.

Only if we let the pitcher bat and DH for him.

Nicknames would also be extraordinarily easy if he bombs.

This trade really pisses off the beach ball boppers. That's one less player who's name they actually know!

I really really hope Dipoto's idea of waiting for the pitching price to come down, does not mean he's hoping Santana's $125 million demands come down to $100 million.

Been saying that for six months. Extending Trout now is more important than fixing the pitching. The pitching at best is a short term solution. Trout on your team s er ts up posible great teams in the future. If I was Dipoto I would offer Trout a 20 year 300 million contract that is top heavy and pays more in the first 10 years. That is an AAV of 15 million a year and makes it salary cap friendly. Give Trout an opt out clause after 9 years. Therefore if he wants to test free agency at age 30 he still can and the Angels would have him through his prime.
Then look to trade Aybar Kendrick and Trumbo and rebuild for the future. With Trout locked up long term we can do that. We would have to sacrifice 2013 and maybe 2014. But we could be ready to kick ass by 2015.

I heard Black Hole of Utter Despair's xFIP was due for a major bounce back next season.
