I don't like him
I just think he needs to be given a shot at consistent playing time, he has sucked after injury as most people do. If he continues as is, he’s done. If he plays like the 09 playoffs/pre-injury this year then we win.

Dude is 27
and has shown flashes. It was his first 2 years getting decent playing time and even at that he didn’t get anything consistent. He probably didn’t get every start in a series without Naps being hurt.

I know you have faith in Mathis
If he played say 130-140 games a season behind the dish, what do you see his numbers as? Do you feel he can hit for average, power, OBP, or all of the above? Just curious.
Bobby Grich should be in the HOF!
Good question

No, but he called a double steal with two outs
Torii had to take a pitch to allow that boneheaded play then he was down 0-2

Could have been a contact play and Torii just didn't swing
Other possibilities as well. But I don’t think it was necessarily Soth’s fault.

Bullshit
Vlad would not be this motivated in an Angels uni. He could have done this in 09, but he was out of shape.
I took your stash.
This
He was burned by 29 teams, so he worked out like a mofo
and the Rangers are reaping this reward.
Plus he was unwilling to DH
until he had no other alternative. The Angels weren’t going to wait for him to make a decision.
I took your stash.
I love Vlad and miss him, but I didn't expect him to hit THIS good.
He has found the fountain of youth (at least for this year) and is hitting like it’s 2006 Vlad

Basically what I am saying is the Rangers got lucky
They also got lucky with Colby Lewis.

Yeah if I could go back in time, I would have resigned Vlad and Oliver
Let go of Shields and promoted Kohn and Thomspon immediately

that is not what that statement means

It's been less than 2 years since he took the job
He has made some good trades and made bad ones. He has also had good signings and signed some duds.
It’s not like he is Dayton Moore.
I took your stash.
Yes.
But the Kazmir trade and letting Vlad go to bring in Matsui are killing us this year.
Hopefully we turn it around, and hopefully we made the most of the extra draft picks this year and last.
reminds me of the OLD Angels moves...
Sign big name players past their prime for revenue.
Rodney also sucks
Reagins, Sosh, or whoever is making the player personnel decisions in regards to free agent signings isn’t doing a great job.
Bobby Grich should be in the HOF!
the only reason why someone signs Mastui
is for the postseason. He’s an average player in the regular season, but tears up the ball in the postseason where this team needs a lot of help. However, if the bullpen along with Saunders and Kazmir keep stinking it up, that won’t happen.
I love

Well... it sucks that it is likely a 2-game switch...

Just got home
Man Kazmir sucks. The guy needs to go. His arm is obviously not right. The last time the Angels had a starter this bad he pretty much kept the Angels out of the playoff by himself and his name was Jeff Weaver in 2006.
What scares me guys is do you realize that even before Kaz’s bad start today Weaver had the LOWER WHIP in 2006 than Kaz does in 2009 which is MORE pitcher friendly. I think after tonight their ERA + will be almost identical in the low 70’s.
How much more of his crap do we have to endure? Personally if I was Soth I’d tell him he’s going to start and that he’s only a 3-4 inning pitcher. Do go as hard as he can in those innings and see if that increases his fastball velocity at all. If it doesn’t, his arm is SHOT and you might as well release him.
I didn't read your comment but I'm pretty sure I know what it says
it looks like it should have been a fan post, it also would have been easier to ignore that way

Not to REALLY bum everyone out but....
….we were supposed to have a great young pitcher in the rotation this year named Nick Adenhart. Unfortunately, the worst tragedy in Angels history had to happen. So we lost a great young player and our system doesn’t have anyone close to being ready (because they weren’t supposed to need to have anyone for us).
yea that's a great point however
at this point I don’t think Bell or SOS could do much worse than Kaz. We know what we are going to get with Kaz…..
Sorta.
It feels crass to look at the baseball effects of the Adenhart tragedy, but I did immediately think that it really screwed the team over. We were really counting on him, and some scouting reports had him as our no.1 starter eventually.

You said he was named after another Vlad. It used to be in your signature.
And yes, the only reason I know this is because you so annoyingly replied to every single thing anybody ever said during spring training to run your comment count up..

Wood bombed.
Can’t overstate how important that was. He’s not even an OK major league player and he was our other top prospect (with Adenhart).
Wouldn't know...he is back to sitting on the bench...just like the last couple years...
management f’ing him up again!
and a lot of risks that didn't work out in the draft
if the Angels had Harvey, Cone, and Matsuz or however you spell it things would be looking a lot better

It seems like Morales and Weaver are the only ones that have turned out to be All-Star quality. Maybe Napoli could join the list if he gets enough PA’s. Saunders was an All-Star, but he’s really just a 4th starter. Aybar and Kendrick are average. Mathis stinks.

The way a GM shows that he is bad
when roughly the same amount is being spent but your talent pool is at a a drop off
The 2000s have been great but I grew up on the 90s teams!
disagree
the same amount is being spent but these are the years were we are getting absolutely NOTHING from Stonemans horrible decisions. I think Reagins is slightly better than Stoneman, but I think they are both below average GM’s
that is true. Stoneman was awful
lousy signings

There’s so much negativity in the game threads. There’s no way to avoid it. The team has problems yes. You coming in here saying you knew it all along with some unearned sense of entitlement is entirely another.
First of all, this must be a reply fail because it makes zero sense here
Secondly, no one is saying the team doesn’t have faults, we are just saying your annoying bitching after we lose and saying the team will go nowhere literally adds nothing to the conversation.

you really are a teenager huh? Why am I coming here during a loss? Because when we win, the organization is feeling like everything is ok and nobody listens…it just hides the faults. Even if we make the playoffs, there is no chance in hell we are winning anything. This team has no true scary bat, just many complimentary players. Matsui never carried an offense in his career, so why would he now? Our pitching staff has no true proven ace yet. Weaver is pitching amazing, but the jury over a whole season and in the playoffs is still out. Our bullpen is crap.

Vlad has a monster year, wins the comeback player of the year award, is the running for the MVP, makes the playoffs, but disappoints. The Rangers happy sticking it to the Angels award Vlad with a 4/60 contract. Vlad has another decent year then craps out turns into a injury prone double play machine.
