The Lindgren situation is why people get way too aggressive with the sept callups. It’s service time spent for games that the player often isn’t in as a regular, and then you have to run with them on the 40 man from then on. This is important, because otherwise next year you still got ST and April if you are deciding which of 2 players is the best to keep.

if i were the angels, i wouldn’t have any philosophical qualms about going over the luxury tax. you’ve got the best record in baseball on labor day weekend. why not take your shot?
I WILL FINE HIM
The Cubs could realistically sign 2 of the 3 big name pitchers(Lester, Shields, and Scherzer) and still go after big time pitching for ’16 because their payroll will still be relatively low. Increased payroll flexibility is one of the reasons why teams should focus on developing their own impact talent instead of using other clubs as a farm system.

The fact that the Angels are willing to pass on a move to stay under the tax should be an indication that the Angels are still in a good position. It’s 5 games. Big deal. I think there’s a little too much attention being paid to starting rotation and not enough on the many ways a team like the Angels can beat you.
