Do the Anaheim Angels have any tricks up their sleeve????

[Big Bear]

What plans if any do the Angels have on turning this season around?

[Big Bear]

Okay so Jared Weaver will return soon giving them a solid top 3 starters in Weaver, Vargas, and Wilson....

but how long are they going go trott Blanton out there and let him get his ripped?

Do they have any stud pitchers in the farm system they plan to bring up?

[Big Bear]

I know Josh Hamilton will get "right" its only a matter of time.


Do you guys think they are buyers at the trade deadline???

What are the chances of them trading for Giancarlo Stanton or Joe Mauer?

They could use another slugger in the outfield and catcher has been the weak link in the batting order ever since they let Mike Napoli slip away. Joe Mauer would fit in nice in this line-up.

[Smoke]

They should be sellers at trade deadline

Its just not working for them

[Ghenghis Kahn]

blanton project is probably over soon as weaver comes back.

i have no clue why the angels and the dodgers took a chance on this scrub.

Sell what? They have an out of commission yacht(Pujols), and a GulfStream Jet without wings(Hamilton). Two things only 1% of the population can afford, and 0% are interested in owning unless they are paid to take them.

[EASports]

Allowing Santana to walk, and trading Jean Segura has set back this franchise back @ least five years.

[Smoke]

Hamilton was a terrible signing

[EASports]

Vargas has been a decent surprise.

Vargas has been a decent surprise.

True that. Whats his contract?

[Ghenghis Kahn]

Hamilton was a terrible signing

if you want to go back pujols was also a turrrrrible signing.

have you seen this guy run the bases?

There shoulld be a running joke, no pun intended, with an attached GIF of Pujols making his way around the bases. Turning triples into singles.

Pujols is hitting .270 that aint bad

For 300 mil it ain't good either, good luck paying that for next 8 yrs w his broken down ass. Hamilton closer to getting back on the pipe than out of his slump. Pen weak. I'm gonna assume if they had anything worth a damn in the minors they would already be up.. U pay broken down shitbags u gonna be shit.

i think any time you change teams and get a big contract there is an adjustment period.. Pujols had a great second half last year. I dont think Hamilton forgot how to hit i just think he is pressing too hard.

[ThaTopMoron]

the Cardinals are genius... just like what the Colts did with Manning! genius!

Angels

[Big Bear]

But the Angels offense is not really the problem, they just need consistency out of their starting pitching so they can get on a nice roll and win 10 straight games... maybe win 25 out of their next 30 and they will be aight.

[Big Bear]

Don't look now but the Angels have won 2 straight games and scored a combined 18 runs in their last 2 games.

[Big Bear]

maybe the Rays will trade the Angels David Price before the deadline

albert looks rough bro, i mean his numbers be ok for couple years but the tail end of that contract gonna haunt their dreams..far as Hamilton you can go back and almost put a season together now where he has sucked,, crack is a hell of a drug..

only if they decide he broken down... lol

[Big Bear]

i guess you have a point. The Angels seem to be the organization where star players careers go to die.

I started this thread to see if there is any glimmer of hope for my Angels futures bet.

I put down $150 on 40-1 odds. Pays out
6K ... i figured its good value bc if they make the playoffs they will be dangerous and they would have a lot of momentum going into the playoffs since they will need to get really hot to make up that much ground.

dont mind me too much, i am after all a admitted angels hater..not sure why, was actually glad when albert took their money and turned down cards "disrespectful" 5 yr deal..i mean personally dont think much has changed from them being the 3rd best team in the div last yr, still think tex and oak are better but who knows..

this team should have corbin sitting next to weaver atop their rotain... instead they gave him away for a washed up haren who no longer around

Dont forget what they gave away to rent greinke

[Hotdiggity11]

His current BA is .241...

[R.P. McMurphy]

Some of these GM's need to sit down and watch Moneyball! Lesson 1 you build around pitching, lesson 2 do not sign nametag players on the wrong side of 30 to huge long term deals based off past glory. There is a reason their previous team is letting them ride off into the sunset. Cause they already got the best out of them! Just a lazy way to build and put butts in the stands quickly till it blows up in ur face.

[frogsrangers]

Angels have a horrible farm system exactly who could they give up to get a guy like Price Stanton or Mauer

[Big Bear]

well they do not mind picking up big contracts.. so maybe teams will dump players in their laps to get rid of contracts.

yeah thats right .. trout was hitting .270 i think

[Big Bear]

Don't look now but the Angels have won 2 straight games and scored a combined 18 runs in their last 2 games.

make that 29 runs in their last 3 games...

a triple and a HR out of Hamilton tonight,
maybe this team is getting their confidence back.

[2daBank]

They playing whitesox and mariners.. Wait till they get back to good teams, congrats on staying out of cellar

[MoneyLineDawg]

The Angels and the Dodgers remind me of the early 2000s Yankees

It just doesn't work in baseball

Atleast the Yankees made the playoffs every year during their spend like drunken sailors era

[Big Bear]

30 runs in 3 games and another Rangers loss!!


wooo hoo lets keep it halos

rangers losing cause they playing the other team in the div that is better than laa.. shitbag halos do have a incredibly soft schedule next few weeks tho so wouldnt surprise me if they got ur hopes up momentarily before they start playing oak and tex again anyways..
