Wilson should be coming back this weekend so the Angels rotation will be Richards, Weaver, Wilson, Shoemaker, and Santiago. I trust Santiago as a fifth starter and hopefully the time off has helped Wilson recover. I am worried about the struggling offense that was leading the majors before the all star break. Hopefully they can turn it around. I would like to see the Angels acquire another speed guy either internally or externally for the stretch run.

Yeah, but after that? You really need at least 6 guys, even over a 2 month stretch. I think they’ll be looking for somebody in August.

I think the angels shot themselves in the foot the rest of this year and next, so far, by not going after Ian Kennedy hard enough. Even if it meant giving up Cron the fact the A’s bolstered their rotation with Samardzjia and Lester along with the Tigers adding Price their playoff hopes are leaning on their rotation matching up with the Tigers and A’s. Rotatioms with Scherzer Price Verlander and Samardzjia Gray Lester would be rough for Weaver, Wilson, Richards to match.

Thatcher and Campana came from the Diamondbacks, not the Padres.

Any idea why the Rangers did not move Rios? I was hoping the Mariners would have picked him up.
