[AngelsWin.com]

 Dipoto noticed "a pitcher executing a good delivery with a clean arm stroke, and the ball was coming out of his hand pretty easy."

 

Take a shot everyone

 

Maybe its because we're basically the same age but I am rooting for him to make it back even if it isn't with the Angels.

I guess Dipoto and Scioscia really have settled their differences?

I'm older but it want it to work for the whippersnapper.

31?  I didn't know he was so young.  Or did I misread that?

[Thomas]

He was 31 when he retired. 5 years later he is 36.  He'll be 37 in August. For you older posters he was born two weeks before Elvis died.

[Angelsjunky]

You misread, Storm, and don't be so lazy.

[Ohtaniland]

befitting a Hollywood script.

 

If Mark Mulder is part of the Angels starting rotation on opening day, Jerry Dipoto should be put in charge of finding Bigfoot.

Who is Elvis?

[mrwicked]

good for him - hope he does well.

he was a beast on the As when I was in college.

and the giants picked up hudson!

if only zito comes back we can have the big three dinosaurs back in the bay area together again.

 

but man: signing a 37 year old who hasn't pitched in 89 months shows how bad this rotation has been the last few years.

This team is in trouble if Mulder makes the starting rotation on opening day.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Is he in the best shape of his life?

Not if he earns it.

Add the words "or Blanton" and I agree wholeheartedly.

[Brent Maguire]

I don't necessarily agree with this.

If the reports on him are actually true, he could end up being a productive 4/5 guy in our rotation.

Who is Elvis?

 

Duh!!!  The lead singer for the Beatles.  I swear some people have no sense for history.  It's like we never went to war with the south for our independence in 1942. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

No pitcher has ever come back from such a layoff. I can see him being effective but I'd be very surprised to see him crack 50 innings this year.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Who is Elvis?

 

Elvis Peacock, running back at Oklahoma and with the Rams. 

 

Look it up. 

[T.G.]

I really dig this story and I hoping his story is the best individual story of the year.

[Amazing Larry]

Who is Elvis?

 

He plays shortstop for the Rangers.

[Ohtaniland]

Retooled? Who are they refering to Mulder or the fans?

he plays for the rangers.

He died. Thats why they wont trade profar.

[ten ocho recon scout]

its like when napolean was around and people were always trying to invade his country.

[disarcina]

Well, we could recreate a portion of the 2004 Oakland A's rotation by signing Barry Zito.

 

let's see, Blanton was on that A's team but not a starter, if we would have beat the Giants to Tim Hudson, we could have had him.

 

Didn't Arthur Rhoades pitch for us for a short spell? he was in the pen for that A's team.........

 

heck we could sign Zito and then for one of the Angels/ Giants Spring Traning games have a 'turn back the clock 2004 jerseys' game.......
