Good Lord this organization is garbage from top to bottom…. Flat out garbage. “Trash”!!!

Time for you find another team to root for then if you feel like you need to victimize yourself. Despite the mistakes, Angels fans still have it pretty good. Their team contends almost every year, they the money to just go for it whenever they feel they need to, and they get to watch Mike Trout play every day. Most MLB fans cannot claim any three of those things. Any baseball person will tell you that if every team had a $200 million dollar payroll, they’d all be going for it.

Old time angel fan here, holy crap this team makes the days of Leroy Stanton, Veda Pinson and Bob Oliver look like a dream team!

A progression over the last decade of poor signings and trades….Gary Matthews Jr. , Vernon Wells, Sending out best prospects to rent Dan Haren and Zach Greinke and, my personal favorite,….Josh Hamilton have anchored this team in mediocrity. Let’s not forget that we have been competitive but I think it’s finally caught up with us. Without Soscia around this probably happens sooner but the guy can manage. Just look at the rosters he’s been able to compete with!
I think we, as fans, need to realize we have had it pretty good and circle the wagons for this and next season. With Wilson, Weave and Hamilton off the books after 2017 we should have plenty of money to spend in FA market and a couple years of higher than normal draft picks.
Keep Trout and sign young talent to compete again 2017-2020
TheMichigan
What they should do I blow up with that money and rebuild, not sign any free agents from this historically weak FA class
Compton
You forgot to mention Pujols and Wilson as horrible signings and trading Grichick for Freese.
darenh
They traded Segura, Pena and Hellweg for Greinke.
Only Segura is in the majors.
You clearly have a selective memory.
AzMike
As you are being selective about one part of a layered multi point contention.
AzMike
How about Saunders Corbin Skaggs and Rafael Rodriguez for Haren?
halobope
Scioscia is part of the problem,leaving Pujols in the lineup night after night,despite his .180 average and leaving a ton of runners on base.They bring up somebody decent from Triple A,or pick somebody up,he gives them one shot and that;s it.He’ll stick with losers like Joyce or Hamilton in the playoffs.
Time to clean out the Dugout.
AzMike
They don’t have anybody decent to bring up in AAA…that’s the problem. Pujols will correct and finish the season at .250ish with 30 HRs. Add that to plus level defense, you play him. The dugout is full of coaches that have excelled and will again but they can only play who they have in the dugout and the bullpen
Compton
I 100% agree with you.
ryanw-2
Oh please! Any manager would still have Albert in the cleanup spot. Because he’s Albert Pujols. And he’ll likely raise his averages to around .250 BA and .320 OBP. And despite his slow start he’s still on pace for about 35 HR’s. Scioscia can only do so much with what he’s given.
Compton
Lol. Sure he will raise his average to .250 and hit 35hrs. Is he gonna have 110 rbi’s too? Keep drinking that Angels Kool-Aid. Pujols is absolutely garbage now and the past 2 seasons were horrible too. Scioscia has been a horrible in game manager for at least the last 3 seasons not to mention keeping Butcher who is a horrible pitching coach on his staff during that time.
Compton
I know horrible, horrible, horrible. Lol. That is what comes to mind when I think of anything regarding the Angels that isn’t Trout.
Rob66
The Angels did better with their no-name guys when they were good than when Arte tried to play Steinbrenner and found out why George finally kept out of personnel decisions. Scioscia has to play the players he is given.
ryanw-2
Those teams were not much stronger on paper and we’re almost never given a chance by the pundits going into any season. But those teams had a lot of rabbits, stayed healthy (for the most part), and got most of those playoff appearances standing out in a weak division. I think it’s going to be a lot tougher no matter what the Angels do. It’s still a weak division but there’s a lot more pitching in the AL West than there was 8-10 years ago.
Compton
Scoiscia is a horrible manager. Ten years ago he as very good but his inability to properly platoon players, use analytics, over using the shift and not knowing how to properly manage a bullpen have really hurt the Angels the last couple of years. He also drove a very good GM (Dipo) out of town with is stubbornness and not being able to work with him.
AngelFan69
What I don’t understand for the light of the world is… Why players that leave this organization blossom elsewhere and when they come to us they hit their career’s low?… Look at how Freese, Joyce, Blanton, and others are doing….
AngelFan69
I forgot Latos….
