Ok, so what is your opinion of what you saw with Pineiro?
I realize two innings in ST isn’t much one way or another but…
our defense needs to work out a little rust
other than that a good start

Probably wouldn’t have given up any runs in the regular season (Aybar should of had that one)
Yeah, thats why I was asking...
…I was a bit late to the party and turned on the TV right when it showed Aybar misplay it.
So was wondering how he looked as a whole, as much as that short of a timeframe can give you. Cool thanks.

CONGER-SMASH! That kid’s swing from the left side of the plate is worth talking about. Feel kinda bad for Peter Bourjos, looking like a statue with two strikes, fastball right down the middle. LOL either he was expecting something else or he’s a little nervous.

He really didn't have a future with the Angels
Woody, Maicer, Sandoval made him pretty expendable but no doubt, the talent is there as evidenced by his Olympic performance. Best of luck to Brown in Texas.
Wish him luck
Yeah, he’s good. I read that he took Nick’s death really hard last year, so that might be why he kind of fell off the map after such a great Spring. I think he could have been a nice backup for K-Mo at first, power hitting pinch hitter. Fill the role Q has at least. Actually, I think he can be a starter eventually, and I’m bummed we weren’t able to get anything back for him via trade, but he killed that with a sub-par season at SLC in 2009.

Not sure about over the offseason..
The Big A out front has a new paint job, plus new scoreboards within the park, and a new batters eye and there’s talk of getting rid of the fountain and rocks and putting a restaurant out there.
That might be a good idea
Not the entire rock pile, but at least a portion of it.
I’ve always thought it was a bummer all of that prime outfield viewing being wasted.

yeah I agree
I’m not really down with a restaurant but maybe some good seating and something else, like an actual waterfall.
How about an open-air bar/nightclub?!?!?!?!111!?
They could call it “The Rockpile” or just “The Pile” and you could go there and get tanked with your boys and some lovely Angelette’s???

Fernando Rod looks good
He’s gonna be a good major league reliever. I can see him in the 6th or 7th inning for the Angels in a year or two. Rafael Rodriguez too.
I have no idea what to call all of them.
K-Rod and A-rod were good enough. Now there’s A-Roid and we have so many Rod’s it’s not even funny.
Francisco rodriguez doesn’t impress me, we can call him fraud lol.
Fernando can be Fern-Rod
and Raffy-Rod for Raphael Rodriguez.
good thing we dealt Sean Rod.
Ryan Mount is the player of the game today for his fielding efforts.
Napoli is Panther for the long ball.
