    Capital_Dave got a reaction from PattyD22 in Howie Kendrick retires   
    My favorite part of that Grand Slam was seeing the exodus of Dodger fans before the next at bat was even started.  Thousands of dejected Dodger Fans streaming toward the exits.  Can there be a better sight in baseball?

    Howie is one of my all time favorite Angels.  Always a great interview, and so much fun to watch him play.  This news has me bummed out.  Hope he has a great retirement... though I could totally see him becoming a coach or manager someday if he chose to pursue it.

    Capital_Dave got a reaction from DMVol in Angels sign Alex Claudio (1 year, $1.125 million)   
    I like it.  Reasonable price for a 28 year old LOOGY with a good track record.  He was projected by MLB Trade Rumors to make $2.2 million via arbitration before being non-tendered by the Brewers.

    Capital_Dave got a reaction from OhtaniSan in Trade Adell (+ club control through 2026) for Snell (3 years, $42M left on contract) straight up?   
    I, for one, am a yes.  I think Adell's upside is limited due to his high K rate.  Give me 3 years of Blake Snell at the front of our rotation, with Brandon Marsh waiting in the wings to take over RF when he's ready.

    Capital_Dave got a reaction from OhtaniSan in Angels acquire Jose Iglesias from the Orioles for Garrett Stallings and Jean Pinto   
    He's a very very skilled defensive shortstop who had an explosive offensive year out of nowhere last year.  1 year $3.5M left on his contract... hopefully didn't cost TOO much but if not I like it.  He'll be fun to watch.

    No, he's only owed $3.5M in 2021

    Capital_Dave got a reaction from Angel Oracle in Pitcher List: Jared Walsh's Breakthrough is For Real   
    Pitcher List is a great fantasy baseball website with some very good analytical pieces.  This one points to Walsh's cleaner, more compact swing as a root cause of his remarkable improvement, dramatically reducing strikeouts and driving up hard contact.

    Capital_Dave reacted to The Ghost of Bob Starr in Angels GM Search Thread - down to Justin Hollander and Perry Minasian, Minasian is the frontrunner   
    That makes it even worse that Rosenthal scooped you on a story in your own backyard.  I don’t like that guy, and you’re our hometown scribe. I’d much rather you be the Damon Runyon of Angels baseball breaking news to us.

    With the departure of Simmons, SS is an obvious position of need for the Angels.  Would Luis Rengifo or someone of that trade value tier be enough for one year of Lindor?
