Albert Pujols, Luis Valbuena, etc make it to clear to me that winning just isn’t at the forefront. Moreno is chasing money and couldn’t care less about winning a World Series, or even making the playoffs for that matter. 

Playing Pujols = not wanting to win.

He has a higher OPS than everyone on the angels aside from Trout, Ohtani, and Ward. 
In a season we can’t hit, he could have helped 

No.

Because at least Valbuena and Calhoun give you some value on defense. Pujols is awful at hitting, awful at fielding, and awful at running. The Angels are going to have to do this the hard way, because for some reason Albert refuses to face the music, even while sporting a sub .700 OPS.

But we should have kept him.

Not just kept him.  We should have extended him for this year.  And then some how magically found at bats for him when we have Ohtani at DH.

Give Pujols some respect. He was an all-star this season!

This was before we had 3 hitters with an OPS better than .750 and that’s the only point I made?

This didn’t even start about Albert Pujols. It started about how the angels suck at handling player decisions and you made it about Pujols and then starting saying I wished he was on the team? lol 

 

I posted how his OPS would be 4th on the team, and how pathetic that is from the angels perspective. I didn’t say to extend him another year or any of the other things you and @Lou made up.

Ok and would he DH?  Do we have a bench that can handle a first baseman only?

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley will miss the rest of the season after undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery, the team announced Friday.

Brantley hasn't played since June because of shoulder problems. He was enjoying another solid season for the Astros before landing on the injured list, slashing .288/.370/.416 with five homers and 26 RBIs across 64 games.

Regarding syndergaard,

Yikes

Ya see, that’s why he’s always hurt.  He’s on PED’s and his body is breaking down.

Oh wait?  Or is that the Trout narrative?  I’m confused.
