Remember when like the whole Angels farm system was untouchable and the best of the bunch turned out to be like Erick Aybar and Howie Kendrick

Trade all the prospects even if it "glues a mm to one side of the coin" or whatever

Kendrick and Aybar were all star caliber middle infielders for a decade. Not fair that Adenhart died and Wood might as well have. A huge portion of that 2007~ group made it to the majors, Willits, Bourjos, Sean Rodriguez, Mathis, Conger.


I remember an article written about the Angels top 25 prospects from like 2006 and how like 20 of them either turned into major leaguers or were traded for major leaguers, which is a huge rate.

Amount of Angels titles won in that timespan:

...

(trade all the fuckin prospects flags fly forever)


And Kendrick and Aybar have 2 career ASGs combined and two seasons each over 4 WAR. They were solidly above average but not amazing.

Because they've spent a billion dollars in four years and have nothing to show for it but pictures of Clayton Kershaw gripping his head in pain on the bench to show for it. That's why it's the funniest thing.

I'd swear someone cited the Cubs' team babip for a single game at one point last October.

It was before that, I remember it. It was someone talking about how the Cubs had the actual best record in baseball when they didn't because of BABIP or something. I want to say it was in May or June. It was like "loss x shouldn't count because the babip was .400" and poo poo like that. It was magical.
