Reading that article -- it seems someone has convinced Arte that investing in the farm team is a good idea..    Thanks Eppy...

Which article?

OC Register and Pedro Moura's piece on Arte speaking.  Both of them.

Realistically - Angels had nowhere else to go and all the key parties involved have known that for some time. The Tustin site just won't cut it and was useful as a foil alternative but that was it.

gig is up. Angels have nowhere else to go and need Anaheim. City of Anaheim needs the Angels to play 81 games a year at the site and keep the Orange Triangle area or whatever they call it these days, commercially viable - the City also needs the revenue.

Hope Halos can compete this year. Houston and Seattle have gotten better. Wire to wire Texas from 2016 not as strong but when you win the division by ten plus games you can afford that.

Is the "of Anaheim" appendage removed from the team name?

Jeff Fletcher mentioned in a tweet it was removed a few years ago.

How about JD Martinez in left and Jake Arrietta on the mound? Mebbe Todd Frazier at third? Probably cant afford all that.

Budget options from that list? Moustakas, Bastardo and JD Martinez? 

It will be interesting to see what Altuve gets. I expect that the Astros will certainly try and buy out a few of his FA years. If not, then they exercise their club option, he walks after 2018.  and he will be a good indicator as to what Trout might get on the open market, two years later. 

Altuve won't be a free agent until 2020 since the 2 options on his contract are club options and there is no way they aren't going to exercise them since they are only for $6.5 million.
