LA Angels Tuesday News Crash

I’m definitely on board with trading Soriano and keeping Detmers, as well as your other suggestions. If you had your 3 SSs in the IF next year, Guzman, Neto, and Peraza, I think that’s pretty solid, especially defensively. I also think they have some nice bench players in Walton and Grissom. They need to decide what their long term plans are for Meckler and Siri, and they also have Trout and Rada to think about. A lot of parts. I personally would like new middle of the order bats in RF or LF, and 1B, which I think would make huge improvements and balance out the line up. Trout is awful in RF, but he could play LF if you wanted Rada in CF and to lead off. The bullpen is the biggest factor right now keeping us from winning, but the line up still makes too many outs and not enough contact. There is also Raudi to consider. I don’t want to see musical chairs next year, I want to see a pretty set line up with a platoon if needed.

I need to see Peraza play the rest of the year. His hitting has really dropped off and he doesn’t BB.

I don’t know what to do with Trout. He hurts us defensively in CF but insists on playing there and gets his way.

Also, who is the real Lowe? The 1st version or the recent version? I am inclined to believe it’s the 1st.

And we need a catcher. even going back to the 2025 budget, with the payroll coming off would give us a lot to play with and likely make the team good enough to draw enough to make it work.
