Morning Angels fans, have some links.
Angels News
Kikuchi is our opening day SP and his face can now be seen in Anaheim. I mean, I guess Arte has to put SOMEONE on his billboards and stuff.
Remember Mo Vaughn? The big FA signing of the Disney years who slipped and fell, causing people to finally renovate the dugout? Yeah, apparently he cheated. Shocker, I know. HGH. Why admit it NOW? I dunno.
Taylor Blake Ward thinks Shuan Anderson could make the MLB team. The 30 year old RP has bounced around a lot, and this team needs pitching badly.
With Neto out to start the season, who will start at SS and 2B on Opening Day? Perry and Ron have no idea.
Around Baseball
Corpos tend to skip out on checking things before they finalize them these days. Like when New Era made a bunch of terrible hats, but the Texas one got laughed at for being TeTas. Needless to say, Spanish speakers are certainly JA JA JA-ing right now. So much that New Era pulled it from their website. Needless to say, that hat will be a collector’s item.
The season hasn’t started, but the trade deadline is set. July 31st at 3PM PDT. Angels fans should know that date as the day that anyone with value SHOULD be traded day.
How hyped are MLB fans for this season? The Athletic ran the numbers and put them behind a paywall. Too bad we have no way of ever finding those numbers out oh no…
While people are in panic about Baseball’s future here, it is getting stronger in Japan, where Baseball has overtaken Soccer for favorite sport amongst Japanese boys. Is it because of Ohtani? Yes, it is because of Ohtani.
How much is Vlad Jr betting on himself in FA? More than what Toronto offered him, which was 500M dollars. (with deferrals). Maybe they tried using Canadian money, which is why it did not work.
That Lucas Giolito trade was so bad. How is he doing anyway? Got injured again in his first Spring Training game. Hamstring tightness.
Anything I missed? Post below for upvotes!
