Additionally, the Preston Gomez Minor League Manager of the Year award will go to one of the organization's seven minor-league managers.

How long can Guerrero bat fourth? - Angels Unplugged - Los Angeles Times
How long do you go with what you remember about a ballplayer, as opposed to what reality says he is now? How long do you wait for power to return when it might be gone permanently?

Steve Bisheff asks a good question.

Kershaw goes 7 strong as Dodgers down Angels - FOX Sports on MSN

Team Reports - MLB at CBSSports.com
The Angels were among several teams who scouted three-time Cy Young Award winner Pedro Martinez in the Dominican Republic last week. But they were apparently unimpressed. Angels GM Tony Reagins said the team had "no interest" in pursuing contract negotiations with Martinez.

Rallymonkeys: Angels' top pick makes impression
If Angels scouting director Eddie Bane is on the money with the Angels' first of two first-round picks, Randal Grichuk -- pronounced GRICH-ick -- could emerge as a talent in the same mold of Rodriguez and Wood. That should make Angels fans happy for a very long time.

Los Angeles Angels News, Scores, Schedule, Stats - Yahoo! Sports
Ervin Santana pronounced himself ready to pitch again after throwing 43 pitches in a bullpen session before Sunday's game. Santana was scratched from his scheduled start earlier this week due to soreness in his forearm near his elbow.

Defending Harold Reynolds - Beyond the Box Score
Is OPS a great stat? No. Will a slugger in a weak lineup receive more walks? Yes. Will his home runs be less valuable because pitchers will actually give him something good to hit only when it matters less? Probably. And -- allowing for some writing gaffes -- that's Harold's main point.

An interesting article by Sky Kalkman.

Baseball Digest Daily Blog " Blog Archive " Statistics Are Not Like Bikinis

Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.. . .
There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics.
I have no idea who the founders of the quotes are, but I know that they do not consider the human factor in the application of statistics. (Isn’t it ironic that a Sabermetrician is asking others to consider the human factor?)

I think it's interesting you can find

someone here who knows so much about pretty much anything.

You are now the Paul McCartney expert of Halos Heaven.

I love this team.

You mean should make the SLC Bees fans happy for a long time right? Because young talent is for the minors only......
If Angels scouting director Eddie Bane is on the money with the Angels’ first of two first-round picks, Randal Grichuk — pronounced GRICH-ick — could emerge as a talent in the same mold of Rodriguez and Wood. That should make Angels fans happy for a very long time.

REPLIES (two): Steve Finley. Shea Hillenbrand. Not saying that Vlad has become either one of those guys. Just answering the question. That’s how long Sosh can go.

Kershaw…shut down a potent Los Angeles Angels lineup that leads the league in batting.
REPLY: Sosh’s shit don’t work in one game. It’s all a crapshoot. Let’s see Kershaw pitch to the Halos 162 times this year, then we will assess.

Randal Grichuk — pronounced GRICH-ick — could emerge as a talent in the same mold of Rodriguez and Wood.
REPLY: See ya in 2014, Randy.

REPLY: Aaron Levenstein and Benjamin Disraeli, respectively (I had to look up Levenstein.)

SONY scraps…Moneyball
REPLY: I guess not even Hollywood can convince anybody outside of Oakland to suspend that much disbelief.

We don't have a Bullpen. We have a Cowpen. Before we get to call it a Bullpen these guys gotta grow a pair.
