LA Angels Wednesday News Crash: At least we aren’t Texas…

Morning Angels fans, have some links.

Angels News

Who is still on the Spring Training Roster? Yes, it is ANTHONY RENDON. WHY IS HE STILL HERE?!?!?!

The Angels are not available to watch this spring on TV so it is hard to really feel like it is Spring training. Also, the team has not been good, 5-7 so far. But hey, it is a better winning% than in the regular season!

Around Baseball

The Texas Rangers put a Texas Ranger statue outside their stadium. No, not a former player, but a segregationist cop. Yeah, uh, say what you want about Arte, but at least he doesn’t do something like THAT. MLB refuses to comment.

Juricksan Profar got suspended half of last year for PED use. So he doubled down and got suspended AGAIN for all of this season. And people will still defend these cheaters… Like the MLBPA. Although, it is their JOB to do so…

They have another one as well, since Johan Rojas also got caught cheating. He is appealing naturally.

Still have that old SNES baseball game, Ken Griffey Jr’s Winning Run? Well someone found a new cheat for it, allowing you to play AS hidden teams.

ESPN will no longer have Sunday Night Baseball. 30 games this season, but not on Sunday Night. That means they are bringing back David Ross to call them.

Anything I missed? post below for upvotes!

If you like high-ceiling pitching prospects, you’ve come to the right place.

A total of 19 of the Angels’ new Top 30 list are pitchers, and they come with a ton of arm strength and the usual risk associated with those kinds of arms. Over the past few years, the Angels have liked going after high-end high school hurlers later in the Draft, moving their bonus pool around to bring them into the fold. There are four from last year’s class alone — Johnny Slawinski, CJ Gray, Talon Haley and Xavier Mitchell (and that doesn’t count Luke LaCourse, who didn’t quite make the Top 30) — and in 2024, big arms like Trey Gregory-Alford and Dylan Jordan entered the fold.

We all know how young pitching can go, though the Angels are hopeful the addition of Jared Hughes as their new pitching coordinator will help maximize the returns on the risky investments. If things start clicking for the names on this list, we could see this system jump up farm rankings everywhere.

Walker, Texas Ranger was a show about a segregationist cop? Friggin Chuck Norris.

Me, trying to come up with a list of problematic angels the team could enshrine in Anaheim. Because I hate being one-upped by the Rangers. I mean, Lucifer to start?
