I think we can use a power hitting outfielder.
Cash said he isn't looking for outfield help. He's going to let Judge/Hicks/Austin battle it out for RF.
Bye Dave Stewart. I'm sad that our teams didn't do any significant business!

Ryan Howard was the last vestige of 2008... :'(
I suppose. I still love the offseason buzz though.

Braves can go after Dave Stewart! I'm sure he'd be a fine manager!

It's actually really appalling that TLR destroyed that team and fired the buddies he hired to cover for him after the fact.
Chip Hale did a pretty decent job with the roster he was given.

Finally, Yankees can go after Bonds to be DH!

I don't get that one. They improved vastly last year at hitting. Can't you attribute a lot of that to Bonds?
Someone will pick him up.

I wonder if Barry Bonds is legit - maybe he could teach Sanchez/Bird/Austin/Judge/Frazier a thing or two (or hook them up with some "gummies").
Yankees gotta eat some of McCann's deal to move him; same with Ellsbury if possible. Gardner should be easier to move.
I'd love it if they could re-acquire Chapman, and get a starter or two. After that...whatever. Let the chips fall where they may. We're coming for MLB in 2019 anyway.

Bonds gonna come home and do a stint in the SF minor league system to prep him to be Bochy's replacement!

DHL is going away it seemsOh well.
Hope they bring him back, our 1B situation is a mess, and with the vote still out on Vogelbach I'd still want him around next year. They should be able to bring him back, unless he wants to go back to Japan and get paid there.
Vogelbach looked raw when he was playing last month.
Not terrible, just unrefined. He could stand to lose 20lb too.
Also, anyone else not watch postseason stuff if your team is out or am I just strange like that?

When will the Angels let Mike go? It's time. The team needs to move on
Yeah, I'm not counting Vogelbach out, just that I'm not sure I want to roll into next season with him as our only first baseman. DHL bats the opposite of him, has a great glove for a big guy, and would be great to keep.

I hate the Angels, but this has to end. Mike Trout is being wasted on a stubborn manager
Silver Arrows

The Angels will never let go of Trout, as Frozen has said. But I believe it's because he is such a generational talent that trading for one current stud of a player, or one prospect simply isn't getting enough on return for him.
There was an article posted in the main thread a little while ago about a possible trade of the Rome Braves to the Angels for Trout. That's about the only thing that could even come close to being a good trade for Trout if you are the Angels or any other team.
Think they're talking about Scioscia. In which case he ain't going anywhere. If you as a manager can get a GM fired, you won't be going anywhere.

Well I am an idiot.
Yes, Sciocia needs to go.
Yes, Sciocia needs to go.
I believe Atlanta could make a compelling offer for Trout. But if he's on the market, I'm positive another team like the Dodgers or Red Sox could beat them. Actually, probably just those teams. Maybe the Twins if you really like Buxton and they're also willing to give up Sano plus others.

Yankees gonna get both Trout and Harper.
They're gonna have TWO $1 billion dollar contracts on the books?
