AL West Update: LA Angels
Overall:
The Angels have the best player in baseball in Mike Trout and they have wasted, yes wasted a few years of his amazing career but not giving him the talent he's needed. Finally, at 28Yo and after signing a 12year mega-contract a year ago. The deal will run through until he is 40 basically. He will be one of those guys that will be good until then. It's hard to see him not. But, he finally has another start in Anthony Rendon to bat behind him and the Angels are coming up in the west and looking to really compete as Trout just gets into his prime years, their window starts now and looks to be opening for the next 5 years. As we all think Trout by the time he ends his career to be in the mix for GOAT and towards the top of every hitting category.
Shoutout:
If you need to make some extra cash during COVID-19 try Stash-It. The business is like AirBnB but for the self-storage industry. So people can rent out their garage or storage shed, and even their driveway for others to use. If you have space, list it on their website. It’s completely free and they only make money if you do. You set the price! You set the terms! Use the promo code "YOUNG" and use your storage space to make some easy money! Stashitselfstorage.c
Hitting
One man, I know the Halos would love to get a deal done with Andrelton Simmons. There have been no talks, however, the team has talked internally and it does seem to me at least that the two sides have interested. Losing a defensive stud in Simmons who lines up next to Rendon on that side of the IF and his consistently at the plate and the way he changes the game in the field. I would love to see him stay here and continue to have success.
Also, Halo fan Jo Adell should still be on track to make his MLB debut at some point in 2020 as depth and these fresh legs will be needed. Not to mention he is a lot better than Brian Goodwin and David Fletcher in RF. A couple young guys we won't see quite yet are OF Michael Hermosillo and 1B Jared Walsh as they were optioned to AAA
The Angels could have a legit outfield if we can see a better Justin Upton when they have Jo Adell, Mike Trout, and Upton in the order and on the field. This is the best chance and including Rendon into the mix, the time is now to catch the Astros.
Pitching
A pitcher who looked sharp for the Angels in spring action that got put on the 40man roster was Ryan Buchter who looks to break camp with a bullpen role. But that was changed when he was optioned to AAA with Like Bard
The Suspension helps the Angels in a lot of positive ways as we should be able to see Shohei Ohtani back in the rotation and doing his 2-way thing right when the season starts. Another healthy option the Angels will have is Griffin Canning thanks to the suspension. This suspension really helps them not have to rely on other guys they were not so sure of. Those guys are worth a mention in Patrick Sandoval, Matt Andriese, Jaime Barria and Dillion Peters.
A fun little Article that wraps the Angels Into it is "Butterfly Effects & The Jason Heyward Signing" by Jeff Todd. It can be found here https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/03/butterfly-effects-the-jason-heyward-signing.html
