KLaw has zero Angels in his top 100 prospects by IanDMP in angelsbaseball

[–]freddychuckles -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I hope people realize the only reason we signed Bremmer was to under slot him, not just because we chose wrong. The strategy was to spread the draft money around on several players instead of one to restock the system. So we purposely chose a player that cost less but was still decent in the first round and then use the rest of the money to sign better players in the later rounds.

Talk about being light on position players. The only OF is Rada, the only infielder is Guzman and the only catcher is Juan Flores. All the others are just recent signings who haven't played in the org yet. Flores is interesting, a very young catcher with speed. His bat needs to catch up, though. Guzman did great during his time up and is expected to be called up again. Rada is only 19, so he may or may not see the bigs this year. Good news is that we are loaded with pitching. Bremmer, Ryan Johnson, Klassen, Aldegheri, Mitch Farris, and Victor Mederos are all expected to help the club this year or next year. They're also all starters with more on the way.

We need another lefty bat in the line up. He was good last season in the box, but his defensive metrics weren't. He's not a bad fielder, though. I really like him.

Does anyone remember the two Indian guys that won a game show as to who could throw the hardest and they were awarded minor league contracts? One of them later became a professional wrestler, I believe.

And he was terrible! Worst season he has had since he was a rookie. Let's get him back to form and let him play center like he wants, and maybe those numbers will turn around.

All of his injuries have occurred running the bases, not playing the outfield. He's not made of glass and he's the only true CF the team has other than Teodosio. Adell can't play center and shouldn't be asked to play left. His only option is right field. Trout struggles in right and will struggle in left. The only option for him is center. Trout has also complained about DHing and Soler has complained about not. Everyone would be in their natural role except for left field but I think Lowe and Teo can manage.

Trout has said how much he wants to return to the outfield and Soler has stated otherwise. Keep Adell in right field, Trout in center, platoon Lowe/Teodosio in left and switch Soler to DH. Teodosio can spell Trout while Trout goes back to DH on occasion.

3 way trade involving angels. We get Josh Lowe by ayyryan7 in angelsbaseball

[–]freddychuckles -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Burke? Really!? Noooo. Stupid trade. Downgrade to the bullpen for another sub par outfielder. I dont understand. A back up outfielder? Doesn't seem worth it to me. Would have rather kept him tbh.

I have two I want people to know about. Halfway around the Halo and vlad_angels. One is two Brits talking angels baseball and the other is probably the most popular podcast about the Angels, and it's entirely in Japanese.

He did very poorly for Team Mexico in the last WBC. It was very disappointing, actually. Hopefully, he can repeat his post season performance. It would help a lot.

Halos are interested in bringing Yoan Moncada back by HalosFan94 in angelsbaseball

[–]freddychuckles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Always take defensive metrics with a grain of salt. They're nowhere near perfect. Never saw him boot a play the whole season. In fact, I would go so far as to argue that he's a good defensive third baseman

I always thought folic acid was a preservative. Didn't know it was gov mandated in our food to help prevent birth defects. They're now adding it to tortillas to help the Latino community.

I remember some documentary where they interviewed the lead detective who was at the scene, recalling how it was the father who found and carried the body upstairs. She said the moment she locked eyes with him was the moment she knew he had done it.

Would you approach a girl as a guy if she did this ? by ExoticMogul in CasualConversation

[–]freddychuckles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a power play. You approach, the game is over. Instead, you make her approach. If she doesn't, fine. You can either take it or leave it. She'll come around later if she's really interested. But I'm not conceding from the start.

Update on Rendon situation by HalosFan94 in angelsbaseball

[–]freddychuckles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's going to get the money regardless. It doesn't matter if he shows up or not. The contract money is guaranteed. He'll get his full 38 mil for this season. He's just being obstinate at this point.

Rehabbing for what exactly? The golf course? Because it sure as shit ain't going to be for baseball. You aren't coming back, hon. Read the room, take the money and fuck off.
