Sign her up, JD. This team is years away from a decent catcher here. I would have kept Robinson.Yup she's a great defensive catcher

You get the feeling most of the team is ready for this season to be over.Choo with a terrible AB, it's like everyone is guessing at the plate.
I have a number of friends from California and of course Angel fans. When they signed Trout to that $43 mill a year contract I said they should have traded him and stockpiled their system. Way too much money. Plus they hired a complete statue for a manager. Took a world series contender in the Tigers and they just got worse every year.Quick 123 for Minor. Halo broadcasters. Note that it is a crime having Mike Trout and team of noble to build a playoff team around him. And the have spent money. Interesting
He threw a lot of pitches right down the heart of the plate.Heaney would be in trouble if we had some decent hitters

You could be right there. There may be some big market teams who might do it but that is not a certainty. But they would need to already have a decent team in place at the MLB level and they would not pay him $43 mill a year. That was a little extravagant to say the least.Problem is no one would trade anything that he's worth because then he would just gut someone else's system and they themselves get to be non-contenders in short order.
I think they spent too much. I remember you bringing it up at the time. My thought then was that I could understand the Angels fans not wanting to trade him. Loyalty tends to blind us at times, and others' loyalty tends to look foolish to us at times.I have a number of friends from California and of course Angel fans.
