We are still 2 short...

Why does Scioscia get a poster?

His big ego. Knowing Sosh, he probably want's a statue too

There will probably be one after he retires, and I'm totally serious about that.

[Ray McKigney]

Why on earth are we looking for a big bat when when just landed Todd Cunningham?  Offseason shopping list over right?

 

He's not nearly as good as his older brother, Richie.

[IEAngelsfan]

We did have Kelvin Escob......oh wait......they're talking about a hitter.

 

Carry on.....

At the base it will list all of his accomplishments, including somehow not getting fired after years of underachieving, running a GM out of town, and being the highest paid manager in MLB history.

The legend will read:

 

Mike Scioscia: The architect of The Angel Way

 

The statue will be Scioscia pointing toward the horizon.

I would prefer a hitter who can have timely hits with men in scoring position.  Are there any of those out there?

And yet people have the biggest hard on for Heyward.  The guy that was the #4 hitter for the team with the best record in baseball.  Who only had 60 RBI's.  With a career high of 82 RBI's in a season.  Who with runners in scoring position had a .708 OPS, .264 avg, .359 OBP.  He can't hit anybody in.  Just walk in pressure situations and hope the guy behind him can get the job done.  Oh, and in three years, .729 OPS with a high OBP and low avg.  

 

You know the saying, we want a hitter, not a belly itcher.  And Heyward is a belly itcher.  Crawford 2.0.

Vlad is coming out of retirement ????

[TroutCron]

Daniel Murphy would be a decent pickup to play second base, a good gap hitter from the left side. There is a definite need foe a leadoff hitter, Fowler and Revere are possibilities. It will be interesting to see Eppler's approach given that he comes from a team that hit a lot of HR. The Big A is way different than Yankee Stadium. The Angels need gap hitters who get on base.

Is there even a big bat left-handed 3B in MLB? I'm drawing a blank here

[Stradling]

Pedro Alvarez used to play third (poorly)

Just looking at stats this season.  Moustakis and Carpenter.  Maybe Seager.  Then it's a huge dropoff.

[bloodbrother]

Oh wait, Angels already have hteir left-handed 3B big bat

 

 

KYLE KUBITZA and KALEB COWART(switch hitter but better from left-side). Problem solved

Our boy Dipoto solved that hole with Kubitza. 

 

I think.

D'Angelo Russell's court vision is ****ing bonkers

Yeah, he looked like Nash out there  tonight

[NrM]

I think Alex Gordon might fly under the radar since he's somewhat overshadowed by Cespedes, Heyward, and Upton.. 

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he ends up far more productive than the so called "big bats" available.

 

Unlike Heyward, upton, and Cespedes(to an extent), he's not a product of the NL. Which is a huge factor imo.

Why did the link bring me to an article about female GM's? Refuse to read anything about that crap.

Oh hell... Ladies and Nancy Boys in baseball? Save us Pete Rose.

[mulwin444]

So, let me get this straight, the Angels, who struggled all this year with scoring, will be looking to secure personnel who can assist them in scoring runs?

That, my friends, is hard-hitting journalism at its finest

Yes
