Stoneman joked about the feedback he received from the "unpaid consultants" at FanFest.

This freaking guy. Unpaid consultants,are the ones that pay the salaries, buy the tickets, buy the merchandise, buy the $7.50 hot dogs, buy the $10 beers, buy the $10 parking spot, and do it with smiles on our faces, even sometimes when we lose.
I also love in this article this morning in the register, that GMJ is already saying we couldn't get rid of any pitching and great hitting is overrated. Not coming out with, I will have a great year and improve the teams numbers, but, it's ok that I suck just as long as we pitch well.
One more complaint, who is Scot Shields agent? Does this guy make the trillion dollars that according to Stoneman he is worth? No Manny Ramirez or Andrew Jones because we can't give up Scot? He should be making at the same 10mil that our new big splash in center is making.

umm....

I think you're confused about what "unpaid consultant" means. And I'm sure if Manny could have been had for JUST Scot Shields, he'd be our DH right now.

This post

should have been titled "Beating a Dead Horse". If people feel the need to voice their frustration with Bill Stoneman write a fucking letter!

Sardonic Irony?

Is this not another slam at Bill Stoneman's off-season moves in the sense they're comparable to that of a dead horse?

Go easy, the man puts his Dockers Never-Iron® Washable Wool Dress Pleated Pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us, bro'.

Sheesh...

Great sentence structure

I wasn't confused at all.

A pipeline of talent, welcome to Anaheim.

Clueless

Does the OP really think that the Angels could have had Manny Ramirez for Scot Shields only, when Epstein was asking the Dodgers for Broxton, Kemp and Loney?

OP apparently has Angel Stadium confused with Dodger Stadium. That's where you find $10 parking, $10 beer and $7.50 hot dogs. Prices are several bucks lower at the Big A.

My guess is the OP is really a frustrated Dodgers fan, too drunk to realize that he's not even complaining about his team anymore.

Kinda sad, really.

Pitching = Hope

I am not sure if you followed any Angel teams with crappy pitching. When you have no pitching it feels like you can never get it and therefore you have no chance.

Painfull, I do not have fond memories of pitching weak Angel squads.

GMJ step number one in a plan for continued dominance, or step number one in a plan for severe weight loss through explosive vomiting?

Like it or not

Stoneman's moves mean that we are the favorites to win the west. The offseason could have been a little bit better or a lot worse if we had been active in the trade market (ie. a little upside, a lot of downside).
