Does anyone know what’s going on with the Italian Stallion?

I haven’t hear Aldegheri’s name yet this spring.

Ironically even though he hasn’t pitched yet, it seems like with each passing day he keeps moving up the depth chart.

I know i’m hours late, but why is Mike stealing bases in spring?!

We know he can do it, they know he can do it, such unnecessary risk.

Apparently he can’t do it!….. completely kidding of course but he was picked off pretty bad on that one. I’d say maybe he’s rusty but that bomb says otherwise. Just amazing to see him back out there

He needs to keep that option as any pitcher’s attention should always be pulled to the basepaths if possible.

Welp. I’d say Brogdon and Mederos are just about out of time.

I forgot Seig exists. So big win for him today.

Luke Murphy seems to be a man with a specific set of skills.

Zeferjahn… I still like him.

Urena will be in the minors, and that’s good. If they can just get him to not let hitters sit on his fastball….

Tyler Anderson boo fkn hoo.

Just like last year I am weirdly drawn to Campero… like we’re gonna get rid of him and he’s gonna go Tommy Pham it up someplace like Cleveland.

I still don’t want Moore called up.

Come on Jo Adell…. well, I guess I can chill on that, it’s not even March yet….

Mickey and Jo are 0 for 19 and counting. You’d think they would get lucky once in a while. Only 5 games, but so far the major league team has 7 players, 6 without Neto. I think the 6 or 7 guys are going to be solid but the other 2 spots may be a bit rough unless someone wakes up. Ward, Soler, and Heefo will be gone this year or next and will need to be replaced and that would drop us to 4 players after next year, Trout, Neto, O’Hoppe, and Schanuel if he develops.

I want to like Mederos so bad 🙁

Didn’t see his outing, but the numbers speak for themselves

if Trout hits .333 with a 1.933 OPS this year I’ll be satisfied. But only if he plays 140 games.

A 1.933 OPS? I must say You’re a tough one to please EiP

Let’s get some NASA scientists to figure out the stats for a near 2 OPS.

With Arnold’s hot start, just might get Jace

And then the Nats will draft him right ahead of us.

Perry will then take a little known 24 year old shortstop from a 4 year vocational college who batted .475/.550/.770 in his NAIA league because he will sign for “only” $8.2 million when the projected slot value for the no. 2 pick is $9.785 Million

I’d like for Jo to get most of the year to figure it out.

Question:

Which loser will the Angels finally grow tired of first?

Victor Meh-deros?

Jose Sewerez?

Murderous already seems to be in mid-season form.

My guess is both. For as fixated as some of us are on Suarez the guy’s getting the same money and is just as cuttable as guys like Garrett Hampson, Chris Flexen, Jacob Barnes, Jesse Chavez, Nick Ahmed…. accept the teams those guys are on (temporarily) have fans that aren’t shitting themselves like they being forced to let the player share a bedroom with them.

Is it bad form to question that called missed call 3rd strike this early in ST?

Didn’t realize Newman was such a big dude for a shortstop . Too bad he doesn’t announce his presence with authority when he’s at the plate.

Is it me or does it seem like Schanuel is actually hitting the ball much harder this spring.. Not sure the ball has started jumping off his bat but the exit velo seems much improved than the candy ass patty cake swings he would take last year.

Early, but Yes. Interesting to see some exit velo comparisons in April.

It’s in AZ…. but still, yes, he looks like he’s swinging with more murder in mind.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. If he can marry some hard contact with his OBP he might make a leap.

Apparently he gained a bunch of weight. Maybe it was muscle.
