Let’s add the latest moves to our review the Angels and Perry MORONassian ‘s absolutely pathetic off season. Can we all say it is a carbon copy of the last three
✅ Trade an established major league hitter with 37 home runs for a pitcher that was a top prospect at one time coming off major arm injuries the last two years and is a huge question mark
✅ Sign a pitcher that was fantastic two years ago. Then forgot how to pitch had major arm injuries and is on his third team in 6 months
✅ Sign a one time highly touted prospect with ties to the braves who cannot hit major league pitching
✅ Sign two pitchers for the bullpen that were both great 6 years ago that will both he DFA candidates by the all star break
✅ Sign a pitcher who is out of options who only has 56 innings of mlb experience and walks to many hitters
✅ Sign a pitcher who was very good before the pandemic then had arm issues and was so bad in the minor he was forced to pitch overseas and wait for it with ties to the Braves
✅ Trade for a middle infielder who at one time could hit but injuries set in and he has not hit above .190 in three years. And guess what. With ties to the braves
✅ Sign a 39 year old reliever who watched his era balloon over five and has hardly pitched due to arm and back problems.
✅ Rendon well SMH LOL 🤮 good riddance. Sums that one up
✅ Hire your fourth manager in five seasons who has not managed a game in little league let alone the minors or the show and give him a one year deal.
✅ Be alleged in on Okamoto a player that said naw I’m good I am gonna sing with a team that is worse than yours because they actually have a direction and are improving
✅ allegedly be in on Nolan Arenado a third baseman that was good four years ago and cannot hit now and his current team is so desperate to get rid of the money. He would be this years Jorge Soler
✅Miss out on another player from Japan who said no I think I will go play third for a team that just came off a World Series appearance
✅ Sign a left handed reliever who was good at one time and then in typical Angel player requirement got hurt and had his career completely implode
✅Claim an outfielder off waivers who has 69 plate in four plus seasons of pro ball and hit .232 at the mlb level but it’s a hand me down from Moronnassian’s brother
✅ Sign another former highly touted prospect who is on his third team in two seasons. The kid can actually make contact and not strike out but in typical Angels fashion coming of a major injury
✅ Sign a reliever who has never had an era under 4.00 and has bounced between triple A and the majors. His velocity is down and walked 12% of his hitters. Shock in true Angels fashion coming off major knee issues
✅ Trade one of the better young relief arms for a corner outfielder coming off a .220 season and struck out 106 times in 396 at bats. And get this. Has a long history of injuries He is Taylor Ward with less power and is always hurt.
✅ Re-sign a third baseman who missed more than half the season in Angels fashion due to injuries and has a long track record of being hurt He only hit .236 and strikes out 28% of his plate appearances. Oh and he needs to sit if there is a lefty on the mound
✅ Sign a once good power hitter six years ago who is now 34 and has not played in a MLB game in 2 1/2 years to a minor league deal. (I am rooting for him) who plays a position we are already set He put up numbers in the second most hitter friendly park in all of triple A
✅ Sign a soft tossing reliever who was decent up until 2024 then in true Angles fashion is coming of a long stint on the IL with arm problems and was DFA’ed off the roster
✅ lose your local tv contract (not your fault) so now MLB and ESPN can price gouge us to watch games Remember in the before time when all the games were on KTLA.
To quote a recent ESPN article a clueless GM making signings that would’ve been all great moves in 2022. Moronassian could run the Angels into the ground in franchise mode on MLB the Show on Xbox
Yet still have not filled the holes of CF,3B( sort of) back of the rotation, closer and anyone that can hit above .230
With the two moves today I am going to up our loss totals
The quest for 105 losses in in full effect
Can’t wait to wear my paper bag over my head at home games
Operation extreme redundancy is almost complete
Love ya Perry and Artie
Signed
An extremely satisfied fan
