Angels overpaid for him like we did with Freese way back then. Please explain to me how Rendons prescence has benefited this team. He hasn't even played a full season. 

Well where do I start.  Ok we didn’t over pay Freese.  Also all I said is he isn’t the worst signing of the last 20 years. 

[Erstad Grit]

That 0-2 pitch was Fuentes esc

[HeavenlyHalos]

We are the joke franchise of the Majors. Haven't made the playoffs in approaching a decade and only once with the best player of his generation. Couple that best player of his generation with another MVP phenom and we still can't even produce a winning record.

Franchise is a mess and I blame Arte.

I'd argue worse than Puljos 

He’s gona have to try to suck to be as bad as Pujols.

Rendon-> Pujols -> Hamilton ->Wells

 

At least Pujols gave fans some moments and career milestones to cheer for.

At least Puljos put up some inane numbers by year 3. But that's it. 

But his contract was still far more crippling than Rendon's ever can be.

I'm curious why you are riding Rendon's nuts so hard? 

[Stradling]

Hamilton is the worst signing in the history of this franchise. 

[GrittyVeterans]

It’s time to start moving out some pieces that are tough to move. Have to start feeling out the market on some guys if we sink to 10 games below .500

[Vlad27Trout27]

I mean at one point, Pujols was averaging a negative war.....that's worst than not playing.....

Hamilton has to be the worst ever

[beatlesrule]

Kimbrel is no sure thing and with the Angels top of the lineup batting, hopefully they can get a rally going.

[HeavenlyHalos]

How could anyone possibly argue Rendon has a worse deal than Pujols? Craziness

I’m curious why you think I’m riding his nuts. Hamilton is the worst signing.

1. Hamilton

2. Puljos 

3. Rendon 

 

Worst 3 position players we signed in the last decade

I think it’s Pujols simply due to length of contract(double the time of Hamilton). I’ll agree Hamilton was the most pathetic

Puljos reminded me of a very absuive relationship with no way out

I think his last 4 years here he was negative WAR. Him and Cabrera are the worst contracts of all time, let’s not kid ourselves. Cano pretty bad too

Why are you riding Rendon’s nuts?

[T.G.]

Fresh conversation!

[nando714]

Mike Scioscia’s 10 year deal might top them all

who gives a manager an iron clad 10 year deal. 1 playoff appearance during the deal and they were swept. 
 

tops them all

[m0nkey]

Just saw the score

[beatlesrule]

Horrendous O-2 pitch but at least it was hit pretty much right at Marsh.
