  1. Then hire him as a coach. He can hang out with Dante on the bench.
  2. f*** the deadline - let's trade for him right now.
  3. Now that he's back, healthy and once again dominant, I will ask. Where does Yordan Alvarez rank amongst the best hitters in baseball? 488 PA's .320 / .404 / .647 178 wRC+
  4. Remember when we thought Russell Martin was a great mentor? Only to hear Danny Jansen talk about how Luke Maile worked with him and helped him way more than Martin ever did. Assuming great players are good role models, teachers and mentors is a fallacy.
  5. Of course EastCoaster would create this thread. He may actually deserve some props for his troll game. I thought he was just dumn, but this confirms he's a troll.
  6. Holy s*** - that is hard to fathom.
  7. f*** me - that's brutal.
  8. IIRC - everyone thought he was a negative value player so it was dumb. Now we have Panik and Espinal playing 3rd. I didn't care whether he provided excess value or not - he's under contract for this year and next and is a solid 2.5 to 3 WAR player and the timing works nice to allow Martin or Groshans to slide in once his contract is up.
  9. Fire up the Tellez train. Despite his 2021 struggles he's still: 99th percentile in average exit velocity and hard hit % 93rd percentile in max exit velocity 82nd percentile in barrel % He's been getting unlucky, which I think caused him to press a bit and expand the zone. He needs to be patient, take the walks and wait for his pitch in the zone and he'll start producing again.
  10. We should just piggyback Manoah and Pearson. The bullpen could take the day off every 5 days, we'd get lots of wins and it would be must watch TV.
  11. I suggested this in the offseason and was shown the door for my stupid idea
  12. Angels really need Jo Adell to step up.
  13. I think it's clear he can pitch in the majors right now. We're holding him back to control his innings in AAA so he can contribute in the 2nd half and hopeful through a playoff run.
  14. because he wanted a 3 year deal and has thrown less than 70 innings over the past 3 years.
  15. Wow! What a truly incredible career he's had. In his prime years (between 2001 and 2010) he was similar to Trout to me. This guy posting video game numbers who I didn't get to watch on TV all that often. He was larger than life - I always wanted to try and catch St. Louis games on Sunday Night baseball (or wherever I could) because he was must see TV. I remember when the Angels signed him, I thought there was an outside chance he'd pass Babe, Aaron and maybe even Bonds on the all-time home run list. Alas, it wasn't meant to be as age and injuries prevented him from an Adrian Beltre/Nelson Cruz/Big Papi sunset to his career. It will be interesting to see if another team signs him, or if he just hangs them up. Even though he's been awful for years now - I must say I've still stopped what I was doing when a Pujols highlight came on TV - or when he came to bat during an Angels game - just to marvel at one of the absolute greatest hitters of all-time and certainly of my generation.
  16. Kirk posts a 140 wRC+ in his first 71 PA's after spending 0 days above A ball and this guy is convinced he isn't the answer.
  17. Tabler keeps talking about batters "slowing their swing down" That's not a thing is it - that's just Tabler saying stupid things? Who the f*** goes up there and says they're going to swing slower than normal? I assume what he means is they aren't swinging for the fences - but he should just say that FFS.
  18. And almost every player on the team is f***ing raking without sign stealing.
  19. Better ask Bartolo.... edit - f*** me - Jonn beat me to the punch.
  20. Apparently they will consider Bauer on short rest until Gosslin and Price are healthy. I guess Bauer kind of gave up on that request/demand eh?
  21. Is there any doubt that Chapman could play SS (well)? - especially in today's game
