Walk Off Madness Postgame

Yet Keith Law wrote this under the mock pick:

I believe it’s Hernandez, Liam Doyle or Kade Anderson here, with an outside chance it’s Jamie Arnold. Everyone seems to think the Angels are taking a pitcher, although I heard they met with Eli Willits again in the past few days.

Keith Law maybe right in that this could be the first time since 2018 that the Angels take a high schooler in the first round (In 2018 it was Jordyn Adams so maybe thats not the greatest of examples) I’m thinking Perry has new found job security. In fact I’ll bet Arte already gave PTP a contract extension ( through 2027 and beyond)but in typical C & E Arte fashion it wont get announced until after this season is over.

My money is still on Eli since hes not represented by Boras and I’m sure Reggie wants his kid to play for his Alma Mater.

At this juncture The Luis Garcia trade gives me more of a half smile than a beaming one P12. Until one or more of the glorious 4 actually generates positive WAR I’ll reserve judgement even if we kicked Boston’s ass on paper. That being there is still a real possibility this may happen. here’s a (opinionated) update:

• Zeferjahn has the stuff but still needs to figure out how to pitch in high leverage situations and cut down on the HR’s.
• Niko Kavadas Is the Greek God of 3 outcomes who without reducing his prodigious strikeout numbers will only be able to provide necessary filler at AAA.
• Matthew Lugo has brought back the toe tap and is crushing the ball again at AAA so he may get a legitimate shot in the outfield here especially after we trade Taylor Ward  😁 
• Yeferson Vargas is still young enough and talented enough that if he is getting his shit together he could be the steal of the entire trade.

Time will tell fairly quickly what type of victory this trade was for Perry and the gang.
