Looks like our whole lineup is in there.
Napoli would be in for Mathis if he could catch, but one wonders if he’ll be able to by the start of the season.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Particularly, when Figgy doesn't appear to be going anywhere this year.
Wood SS in 2009 -
Brown 3B in 2010
Believe it or not
Matthews
With Abreu gone, Rivera is your DH, HGH is LF or vice-a-versa
You know...
that makes a hell of a lot of sense.
LF – Matthews
2B – Kendrick
DH – Guerrero
CF – Hunter
RF – Rivera
1B – Morales
C – Napoli
SS – Wood
3B – Brown
That makes me happy. If we don’t re-sign Vlad then maybe moving Naps to DH and moving Conger up to Catch
some new outfielder maybe.
abreu will be done.

I'd think we'd try to sign one of the big power guys on the market next season.
~Till the Halo burns out...
We don't seem to be trying to retain Vlad or Lackey.
I can only assume that means we plan to make a play at either Holliday or Bay.
~Till the Halo burns out...
based on lackeys previous comments
i dont think we have a chance in hell resigning him. sure we added a bat in abreu but he wont be here for the long haul. so this season is our last seeing lackey in an Angels Uni.
i think vlad will take less money to stay here, he is a “mommies” boy and his mom likes the organization…
There is an "Angel in the outfield" and his name is GA! ps. he is lazy but not a bum GO HALOS!
That was my point.
I’m not sure an outfield leadoff guy is really in the cards. It’s also not clear from the noises being made right now that GMJ will still be here next season.
~Till the Halo burns out...
He could. I kind of like him in the second position.
He tends to not take enough pitches for a leadoff guy. Maybe that’ll change this year though.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Yep.
We’ve got like 7 guys with potential for a breakthrough this year. Hopefully at least a few of them do it.
~Till the Halo burns out...
We Need
a few of them, but the more the better, like Arte said, its time to let the young guys play, and I hope they make that happen
The sad part is that we can't let all of them play all at once.
Right now it seems like S-Rod, Wood and Brown get to play the waiting game in SLC.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Not unless we move him to the outfield.
There look to be some spots opening there in the near future.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Only with this Line up
Possible 010 opening day line up?
SS Aybar
Lf Kendrick
Rf Holliday
Cf Hunter
1b Morales
3b Wood
Dh Rivera
C Napoli
2b Rodriguez
S-Rod is the one with the gun-arm.
If we move someone to the outfield, it’ll be him.
~Till the Halo burns out...
abreu
brings a lot to the table this year

Kelvim Escobar pitching in a minor league game.
We have been promised an update later on.
~Till the Halo burns out...
??
Why the hell does it say some pitcher for the dodgers? This is not just some pitcher, this is a future cy young candidate.
Was it a game time decision or something?
by TheAngelsAngels on Mar 23, 2009 1:37 PM PDT reply actions
oh
haha was he just showing him no love?
i can dig it

Anyone got the Gameday Link?
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks......Stuck in class, this along with HH play by play should keep me wide awake
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He did not.
Seemed like pretty much every body else did, doesn’t it? Guess he felt left out.
~Till the Halo burns out...
He HAS a power stroke.
I saw it a lot last spring. I don’t think he knows how to use it properly just yet (he doesn’t get into enough hitters counts), but hopefully he’ll get there.
~Till the Halo burns out...
great
to be lighting up a pitcher of this caliber. good momentum for the offense to get rolling.
by TheAngelsAngels on Mar 23, 2009 1:41 PM PDT reply actions
Martin is a pimp
And Figgy should know better than to underestimate that arm. He gave Kotchman a concussion once for crying out loud.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Did he try to bunt again?
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gunned down
at second. good play by second baseman too tho
by TheAngelsAngels on Mar 23, 2009 1:46 PM PDT up reply actions
Thanks.......Figgins should know better. Hasn't Russell Started the past 2 allstar games?
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yah
and played well for canada
and went out with alyssa milano
but they said something about how his he wasnt that great at throwing runners out last year.
by TheAngelsAngels on Mar 23, 2009 1:49 PM PDT up reply actions
If we can keep this up during the season it could make a huge difference.
I’m really encouraged.
~Till the Halo burns out...
If we can keep this up during the playoffs
and actually get 1 clutch base hit
I smell alot of champagne
Kendrick takes a walk after working it to 3-2 for the second time this game.
He’s seeing a lot more pitches this spring, that’s for sure.
~Till the Halo burns out...
see how well the market is doing today by the way...
im just really happy for america today
by TheAngelsAngels on Mar 23, 2009 1:48 PM PDT reply actions
Slightly......jk
It is a trillion times more important.
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wish I could say that about GameDay........it is not doing well at all LOL
Still stuck on the Rivera AB
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's been like that all spring.
They don’t put much energy into keeping it up to date.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Lol you said ground into twice.......
Moseley gets Manny to Ground into the Ground Into Double Play…….Did you mean IEDP?
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow
for some reason thats what i thought
by TheAngelsAngels on Mar 23, 2009 1:59 PM PDT up reply actions
ROFL.......the resigned Weaver The Elder?
Actually he was pretty good with them…….he would just fug up if they left him in too long. But ya I agree LETS ROCK HIM!!!!!!
Hope Kendry Hits one out off him.
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From GREMLINS........Bye Bye Billy!!!!
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mosely is looking good
I wonder if this will translate into the regular season.
Could we be witnessing a future all star?
by TheAngelsAngels on Mar 23, 2009 2:01 PM PDT reply actions
Most likely no.
Best case is that manages to be like Garland last season and win a bunch of games by keeping them close.
~Till the Halo burns out...
im basically kidding
but i have not really seen the inconsistency this spring. anything is possible.
by TheAngelsAngels on Mar 23, 2009 2:04 PM PDT up reply actions
the broadcaster just watched him throw BP a few days ago or something
by TheAngelsAngels on Mar 23, 2009 2:08 PM PDT reply actions
Did Moseley really only throw 15 pitches in the 1st 3 innings?
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats what it says on Gameday......I went throught every AB on Gameday and I counted 14 pitches thrown
If its true, he just might surprise us all.
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whats going on???
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DANG!
Mathis is fighting for that Catching spot. Too bad Napoli will be starting the year on the DH.
M A T H I S
Auditioning for the Yankees? Lackey and Mathis to the Yankees for Phil Hughes and Nick Swisher, Trade Figgins to the White Sox for prospects and flip Swisher and Matthews for more prospects.
What? Yes, I have had my coffee, why?
That might not be so bad.
With Conger waiting in the wings to fill that catching spot, locking up Huges for a few years for a rental on Lackey… I like it.
But who would be willing to take on Swisher’s or Matthews contract?
seeing as we wont be able to resign lackey
i say make the deal!
There is an "Angel in the outfield" and his name is GA! ps. he is lazy but not a bum GO HALOS!
My only fear is...
Lackey plus the Yankee rotation could end up being the team to keep us from advancing to the World Series.
i too share that fear
but we all know (just a guess but..) he wont resign with us… so we might as well get more than 2 draft picks for him.
ZU- what team out there has the payroll room to take on a swisher/matthews type contract with prospects worthy of such a trade???
There is an "Angel in the outfield" and his name is GA! ps. he is lazy but not a bum GO HALOS!
Swisher is more dealable than Matthews because he's a better player.
What are we talking about prospect-wise?
I’d also like to add that no way in hell will any of that ever happen.
~Till the Halo burns out...
your probably right...
There is an "Angel in the outfield" and his name is GA! ps. he is lazy but not a bum GO HALOS!
haha
you beat me to it…

Escobar at 96 mph???
Was it just one fluke pitch or was he consistently in the mid-90s range?
Ain't no stoppin' us now. We got the groove!!
6-4 us bottom of the 6th
i finally decided to download the right software to listen to live angels baseball…. im stoked

******** HOMER FOR Q********

I know I've liked him ever since he went nuts for a month and a half back in 2004.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Yep. That .340+ BA in 2004 made me think something good was gonna come from
Quinlan. But alas…nothing has materialized.
I kid, I kid.
Jim Scully
Did we ever find out who the other guy is in the booth.
He’s boring as hell to listen too.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Howie with a pair of K's on the day.
Not what we’d like to see out of him.
~Till the Halo burns out...
I've been betting on the Angels all spring
0-3 for manny makes me smile!

Did anyone hear Spire's Impression
The Sports Lodge had Oliver and Spire on the show this morning. It was awesome. Wish they would podcast it.
You could argue that he'd already impersonating one.
It’d be nice if he’d actually BE one.

Smith with a base-hit vs Mazone.
Apparently this guy was owning people prior to facing the Angels.

Where did this kid come from, I remember hearing of him but dont remember from where.

Mosely 3-0
Nice. Hope disgruntled Doyer fans didn’t injure to many people.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
i hope we do the "Good, Bad and the Ugly" thing for the post game wrap up all year
There is an "Angel in the outfield" and his name is GA! ps. he is lazy but not a bum GO HALOS!
Mine
The Good: Moseley looked sharp and Struck out Man-Ram 2wice keeping him 0-3.
The Bad: We only Scored 2 Flippin Runs of WTE
The Ugly: 3 defensive Errors, and WTE in general.
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OC Register has a nice write-up on Escobar's outing
Everything seems to be happening too quickly. I appreciate that Escobar is a hard worker, but I hope he slows it down a bit and takes it a little bit easy. Remarkable that he’s already throwing mid-90s.
Ain't no stoppin' us now. We got the groove!!
