Not sure what that has to do with his post, but yeah, much better to spend like $150M to finish in 3rd place every year and have maybe the worst system in the league. Hey, maybe it'll pay off for them this year, but most likely no.

 

Thank god for them that they lucked into the best player ever at the 25th pick five years ago, but they are not a well managed organization. GTFO.

I'm pretty sure he was just saying that "emptying their farm system" was an overstatement of the price they paid. Maybe I'm wrong.

 

Clearly, the Angels being almost completely invested in the present makes trading what little they have in the minors for actual help a sensible move.

Yeah they probably didn't even scout Trout, just liked the sound of his name. We've been fuckingh shitty for 6 years but goodie we haven't been spending as much money as the angels

On the one hand, their system is terrible so trading whatever they have isn't really a big deal. On the other, it's for a freaking closer but w/e I guess they need one. Their bullpen is awful. Probably a perfectly sensible move.

Yeah, I don't care how well they scouted him, you get that player at 25th, you are lucky as hell that he fell past 24 teams. And it's not like he's some diamond in the rough that they developed into a great player. He beasted his way through their system immediately. Give me a [expletive] break with this weak ass argument you just made.

 

Would you trade organizations with them right now?

I certainly wish the Cubs were 20 games over, but would you trade franchises right now?

 

I sure as hell wouldn't. They haven't been to the playoffs for almost as long as the Cubs have, and they're not well set up for the future.

The only thing the Angels have over us going forward is that we have no idea if this team has any money for the next 5 years. That's what sucks. Moreno can and is willing to spend.

 

At the same time, I have a hard time seeing money getting them out of the situation they're going to be in, especially when it's not like Dodger money.

Apparently the Angels scouts have amazing "scout superstars who will come up in like 2 years and put up like 30 WAR in their first 3 full seasons" abilities but literally nothing else.

still can't believe trout was the 25th pick.

 

I don't really recall how much of it had to do with bonus demands but it's still amazing.

 

 

Also guess I should probably give them some credit for Segura too. ehhhh

Yeah, that too which is just mind boggling in 2009.

Trout had verbally committed to coming to ECU. That would have been fun for a few years.

 

They should file a grievance

Yes.

 

 

I'd love to hear your argument as to why, provided it's something more than "they're 20 games over, duh".

 

I have a feeling a lot of it is #PTR
