   Angels: $1,993,700 = International Bonus Pool "In addition to its international signing bonus pool, each club is allowed to sign six players for bonuses of $50,000 or less that will not count against its pool, the same way each team is allowed to do so during the current signing period.

   Aybar to lead off?

   Bad bad decision imo. Aybar simply doesn't see enough pitches to be a good leadoff batter. I'd rather see Trout back at leadoff.

    Devastating as the Angels' 19-inning, 10-8 loss to the A's on Monday night might have been, it was historic -- at six hours and 32 minutes, it was the longest game in both teams' histories -- and included several impressive performances. View the full article

    If this team really didn't care...

    • 976 views

    If, as many posters believe, the Angels didn't care the game last night doesn't last 19 innings. If the Angels were truly mailing it in they would not have continued to turn double plays and lay down successful sacrifice bunts and found a way to lose that game well before the 19th inning. The Angels have serious issues and I'm not trying to gloss over any of them but it is wrong to say they don't care.

    Newest information on Angel FAs: Expect slow starts

    This was Travis Rogers’ explanation this morning: Since Albert struggled last year when he got here, and he is the ultimate professional/grinder, then you know that Hamilton is going to struggle with the new environment, pressures, etc. So maybe since these new FAs are killing the Angels’ seasons, howsabout we quit signing them?

    Albert Pujols in rarefied company

    April 30, 2013 by fan_since79

    • 10 replies
    • 1.6k views

    Pujols has 479 home runs now, good for 28th place all-time. Next up is Fred McGriff and Lou Gehrig, both tied at 493. This is Albert's 13th year in the majors. Of the 41 players below him who have at least 379 home runs, only one (Albert Belle) had fewer years of playing time (12). The 27 players ahead of him averaged 19.5 years. If Albert averages 20 HR for the next six years, he will get to 600. 28.5 HR/year would get him to 650.

    Somehow the Angels suck the fun out of baseball

    • 2.1k views

    Like many, I've been trying to pinpoint some of the main problems this season, and not only this season but generally. Why is it that players come to Anaheim and start sucking? What happened to Trumbo midway through the year and Trout so far this season. I think one of the keys to this question is with Trout. Part of what made him special last year was watching the sheer exhilaration he had playing the game. Nothing seemed to bother him. He just simply had joy in playing, whether it was offense, defense, or sitting and cheering on others. I don't see that in him this year. Maybe it's the switch to left field. Maybe it's the expectations on him this season. Maybe it's the …

    Do some really stupid shit out there. Some of the balls they try to jump for make me feel like they are trolling us sometimes. Trout jumping into the 20 foot wall on Moss first HR, Trout falling down like Vernon Wells on a ball to the warning track, Hamilton jumping for Moss' walkoff despite it being 25 feet past the wall. These guys look like absolute clowns. It's actually embarrassing.

    Yeah 915ish. It was 7-2. Get to the gym and see the lowlights of Bourjos pulling a hammy and the team collapsing in the 19th inning. So seeing the toll taken on the bullpen, who is pitching tonight once our starter goes into the crapper? And why does Sosh still have a job? Injuries saving him this year?
