[Angelsjunky]

You didn't post the headline about the Angels taking two of three from the two best teams in baseball.

Yep, Segura is still in the top 5 in NL hitting, has 27/30 SBs (90%), and has an .849 OPS.

Yep, Torres has a 0.36 ERA and 0.56 WHIP (SIX hits allowed) with 31 Ks in 25 innings.

Yep, Santana is in the midst of his best season ever, with a 2.90 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and almost 4/1 Ks/BBs ratio. 

Yep, Haren has sucked since 2012.

Yep, Grienke was never going to be anything besides a rental.

Yep, Pujols except for the middle 4 months of 2012, has stunk it up here.

Here's a headline you'll never see:

Angels Make a Transaction, Every Fan Happy

[Angel Oracle]

The Vargas and Frieri trades may end up being the only ones since August 2009, where the Halos in the long run will not get fleeced. 

That vs. my previous post does not paint a pretty picture of the FO's work in that timeframe.

 

I hope the org is getting back to doing things the right way: balance between scouting, development, strategic trades, and strategic FA signings.

Here's a headline you'll never see:

Angels Make a Transaction, Every Fan Happy
