It's not like they were going into the season expecting to compete (and they definitely won't without Freeman), just slot a minor league filler guy into first and call it a day. He can play LF too. Hahaha.

Tune in now to SEA/CHW because there will probably be more position players pitching.

Also read The Only Rule Is It Has To Work: Our Wild Experiment in Building a new kind of team. Two Baseball Prospectus guys buy an independent league team and use sabermetrics to stock their roster. Good book.

Joey Freshwater posted:Recently read Ankiel's book The Phenomenon and it was really good. Pretty heartbreaking in parts but a really good read. I've been meaning to read this. Ankiel always fascinated me. Might get it on Audible since it's still priced high. Crazy 08 is a fun read.

Huge huge bummer Just a reminder that July 1st is Bobby Bonilla day! e: to bring this full circle, because of the Bonilla deferment, the Mets were able to get Mike Hampton for one year before he went to the Rockies. The Mets got the 38th pick in that draft who they used to draft.... David Wright!

bawfuls posted:yeah I thought that's why they signed James Loney just this week They basically got Adams for nothing though and he'll probably put up more of a fight than Loney. Worst case he's a warm body that fills 1B until Freeman is back and is off the books after 2017, best case he gets hot and the Braves flip him for more than they could have gotten trying to deal Loney (nothing).

Since that ridiculous "Goins should be playing over Travis when Tulo comes back" post, Travis has been hitting over .500 and gotten his average back to .239 (his OBP is .280, or something). He's also hitting a million doubles. Goins has continued to be awful.

Mike Trout is pretty fuckin' good y'all. Now hitting .350/.466/.757 and leads MLB in OBP and SLG. He's got 3.2 WAR and the Angels hitters as a whole have 2.9 WAR.

Matt Adams should have never even been offered arb. They announced Carpenter's move to 1B in November. He immediately had zero use for the team at that point. The Cardinals bullpen is so bad. Not as bad as the Nats bullpen, but still bad.

Patrick Spens posted:You mean the rest of the hitters have 2.9 WAR right?  In other news, the Angels sent down CJ Cron (hitting .232/.281/.305/.586) to AAA and recalled Nolan Fontana from AAA. Luis Valbuena (hitting .176/.311/.294/.606) and Jefry Marte (hitting .185/.264/.346/.609) will probably platoon at 1B/3B with Fontana. At least the Angels don't have one of the worst starting rotations in baseball.  No longer on the Angels, back to Salt Lake. Good Dog fucked around with this message at 20:38 on May 22, 2017 |
