Corey Kluber sounds like the perfect guy for the Angels to sign to a one year deal. He'd be in the bullpen by June with a 6+ ERA.

bawfuls posted:MLB also had zero enforcement of their protocols in the key moment. It should be entirely predictable that Turner would try to get back on the field for the celebration and MLB was not equipped to stop him. Yea. I wish Turner had exhibited a little (a lot) more self control but  at the idea of MLB throwing their hands up as if they had any clue about how to handle it or the desire to even do so.Still baffled at the notion of test results not being available until the game is in progress and I'm trying to imagine how bad Adam Silver and the NBA would get dragged if they let a player start G6 of the Finals with an inconclusive test just to pull him out of the game when the 4th quarter started for being positive.

Intruder posted:gently caress Schilling and I laugh every time he doesn't get in but he has a 21 bWAR advantage on Allen Ya it's this: bawfuls posted:Dick Allen (and Ron Santo) deserved to get I while they were alive. Curt Schilling does not. To add a bit more, I think it's a shame that Allen was labelled as some sort of malcontent because he was outspoken about racism and equality and ended up waiting 40 years for an enshrinement that never came before he died. I assume the other outspoken guy will be able to get in based on his baseball resume though for some reason. Johnny Bravo fucked around with this message at 05:57 on Dec 8, 2020 |

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:According to new court documents, a former Angels employee used to give a ball doctoring substance to a whole bunch of Angels player. Eventually he gave the substance to a whole bunch of players on other teams, and LAA/MLB knew all about it, until he was fired as a scapegoat I remember hearing about this a year or two ago when he got fired and it was framed as him only giving it to visiting players because he was the visitors clubhouse manager or something. It was a weird story and kinda believable because the Angels have had dogshit pitching for eternity but i am not surprised that the Angels also used it Re: Tommy Lasorda - whatever, my main memory of him is gonna be falling on his rear end at the all star game when an errant bat went flying his way

Kluber is supposedly only looking for a one year prove myself deal and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want the Angels to kick the tires on him even though every other recent one year bargain deal has blown up in their faces in spectacular fashion (Cahill, Harvey, Teheran) I mean poo poo they gave Matt Harvey almost twice as much as Kluber is even looking for, how bad can it really be Johnny Bravo fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Jan 15, 2021 |

I feel like Frazier getting regular play for the first time last season (39 games btw) is part of the problem here. For one reason or another, the Yankees haven't used him on a regular basis but the one time they do and he posts a 149 ops+ that somehow makes him as valuable as Castillo? I'd really like for the Angels to trade for Luis Castillo but I don't think Jared Walsh is remotely close enough to get it done Johnny Bravo fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Jan 19, 2021 |

Strasburgs UCL posted:Quintana is the exact kind of innings eating pitcher a good team needs to round out the back of the rotation. Unfortunately for the Angels he will slot in at number 2 behind the ghost of Shohei Ohtani and in front of a guy who has somehow had Tommy John surgery every year for the past ten years. I'm not completely down on the Quintana signing because I do think he's been a bit better than his basic stats show recently but man this has been the Angels MO for pitchers for like half a decade at this point. Sign a reclamation guy to a low risk deal and hope it works out. Teheran was supposed to be your league average starter that was basically being paid to just eat innings last year and I bought into that hook, line and sinker. They're just such a unique mess of no pitching at all, little to no trade chips to offer for pitching (combined with every GM knowing how desperately they need it) and terrible contracts, though the contracts should offer some relief to Arte's wallet over the next season or two when Pujols and Upton come off the books

chilihead posted:Is it possible he got hit in the head with a line drive? i remember legit thinking he was cool way back in 2003. I just can't understand what happened. Nah, I remember seeing an ESPN thing on him and his family like right after he went to Boston detailing their work with ALS outreach and how one of their sons was diagnosed with Asperger's and the work they did to deal with that. From a fan perspective, he seemed like a decent enough dude until the Rhode Island stuff which in hindsight feels like small fuckin potatoes compared to what he's become in recent years.

Craptacular! posted:Here's my quick and steady rule on the HOF: If you've done something that gets you barred from MLB, you get barred from the HOF. What Pete Rose did got him barred from baseball, so he should be barred from the HOF. MLB didn't ban people for steroids. Even now MLB only bans after three positive tests. I used to feel this way and to an extent still do but more and more I'm coming around to the idea that it's 2021 and being an exceptional rear end in a top hat of any flavor shouldn't be handwaved away. Until people like Schilling (or Bonds or whomever fits the narrative) are told gently caress off, we won't be memorializing you because your character absolutely sucks, then it'll never change. Ty Cobb was a hundred fuckin years ago nearly, how the gently caress has this taken so long for people (myself included) to say no, being a despicable piece of poo poo is not okay Johnny Bravo fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Jan 27, 2021 |

Not only putting up 5.6 bWAR in the regular season (3rd best of his career) but he had an excellent October, winning NLCS MVP, posting a 2.02 ERA across 5 starts, and racking up 19.3% cWPA.

If you're looking for a team that will never win poo poo, like the Rockies, but also would never trade away their best player let alone pay a team 50 million dollars to take him, unlike the Rockies, then the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are right there just waiting for you.

The Pussy Boss posted:Details on the Alex Cobb trade. The prospect the Angels are sending doesn't seem that great but then, neither is Alex Cobb. Yeah Jones is kind of whatever. He was drafted forever ago and hasn't really made any strides towards making the roster. My expectations for Alex Cobb aren't exactly high but the Angels do have a good IF behind him even with the loss of Simmons and getting Dylan Bundy away from Baltimore seems to have worked out. As is the case with any pitcher the Angels acquire, all he really needs to do is eat innings.
