   The Angels and White Sox, two of the sport's heaviest disappointments through the first quarter of the season, are sharing Angel Stadium through Sunday, and both have reasons to believe there's light at the end of the tunnel. View the full article

   Move Iannetta to clean-up

   Plain and simple. Bat the guy who's actually hitting home runs in the clean up spot. He's also shown to have the ability to work counts. At the very least, switch Iannetta and Trumbo or put Iannetta at the #2. The more at-bats that Iannetta gets, the better.

   The state of Angels baseball, explained in commercials By Glen McKee, AngelsWin.com columnist - Wow, it’s been a rough season so far and the light on the horizon is dim at best. Injuries, bad contracts, uninspired play, and a lack of depth have conspired to give the Angels one of their worst starts ever and now even making the playoffs seems a Herculean task (and not one of the easy ones, like slaying the Nemean lion). However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t any enjoyment to be had from the season. Some of that fun can come from comparing the state of Angels baseball to commercials, both current and past. Allow me to illustrate... The relationship of Angel…

   Pujols ready to mash?

   Pujols raised his OPS from .536 to .859 from May 15th to the end of the year in 2012. This year, he's 5-10 since May 14th with 2 bombs. Sample size, yes, but this is when he turned it on last year. Oh by the way, he's got a .746 OPS. If he raises it by .300 points like he did last year... watch out.

   by not signing Blanton and trusting that Jerome Williams could hold down the 5th spot. We've seen Jerome have some really good outings since he's been a Halo. Blanton had been shelled his whole career. Not sure why Jerome wasn't considered an option considering Jerome has a lower career ERA than Fat Joe

    Trout: LF Vs CF 1 2

    May 16, 2013 by mancini79

    • 47 replies
    • 1.9k views

    I really didn't think that moving a player from CF to LF would have an effect on a player's offensive performance. But here are Trout's stats so far this year: LF: .247/.327/.412, 2 HR CF: .329/.381/.645, 5 HR Maybe the stats are more reflective of a star having a slow start. After all, there is no way Trout was going to finish the year batting .250 regardless of any OF spot. But when Peter comes back, it might be a good idea to keep Trout in CF. Yes, Peter is a better fielder, but Trout for some reason is hitting better in the CF spot.

    Dear Dipoto & Scioscia, SHAKE THINGS UP 1 2 3

    • 65 replies
    • 2.8k views

    Scioscia: Move Trout back to the leadoff spot NOW. Hamilton goes to #2, then Howie #3, Pujols #4 and Trumbo #5. I want to see Conger getting half the time at catcher. When Bourjos gets back sell high and trade for a young SP like an Alex Cobb type. Dipoto: Blanton was a mistake but it's even more of a mistake to keep him in the rotation. Cut him immediately. He's been way worse than advertised. Fire Butcher. This team needs a new teacher. It's pretty clear.

    Resolving Hamilton 1 2 3

    • 3.4k views

    Share your input, don't be facetious! Obviously, he needs to adjust. He's not getting good looks of over-committing at the plate. Maybe that's what he's used too attributable to past success, I don't know, but he's missing dearly by it. I'm shocked by the "swinging and missing" nightmare, myself. But that over-committing is by starting the heavier bat. Even with the past success, it's always been in the back of my mind that that heavier bat weight he's selected will eventually catch up with him and slow him down by the type of hitter he is. He's has a Ted Williams style of hitting to begin with and should be swinging a LIGHTER bat now. END OF STORY.

    That's how many wins this team is on pace for this year. 25% of the season is over tonight. May was supposed to "get them healthy". And now Arturo is "taking the blame himself". 3/4 of the season left to go and the owner is using the word blame. Not "turn it around", not "working on it", but blame. You can safely book those October golf getaways now while the cost is still relatively cheap.
