Around SBN: The Most Dangerous Division in Sports

MLB Daily Dish gets around to doing something that I have been meaning to do since 2006. Bookmark it and please note if any sites that poach it.

Did I add correctly?

$44.562 Million coming off the books after 2012?

Free Agents after 2012:
Williams $820K
Hawkins $3 Mil
Takahashi $4.2 Mil
Aybar $5.075Mil
Hunter $18.5 Mil
Abreu $9 Mil
Izturis $3.967 Mil

And just imagine if we never traded for Wells; our payroll would be roughly $65 Million less after the season than what it is today. Wow.

I've been thinking

maybe if we had never traded for Wells and not totally trashed our 2011 season in a humiliating manner with Mike Napoli leading the charge against us, we never get Tony ousted and never land C.J. Wilson or THE GREATEST HITTER OF OUR GENERATION.

I’ll take Wells as the cost, if that’s the return on investment.

This is a sig.

Unfortunately we also have

Haren +3 Mil
Weaver +2 Mil
Wilson +1 Mil
Santana +2 Mil
Iannetta + 1.5 Mil
Pujols + 4 Mil
Kendrick +4 Mil

17.5 Mil (rounded heavily)

+ 5 players entering arbitration

and some holes to fill.

Our payroll looks like it will probably be a little lighter but not exceptionally so.

wondering what Ortiz did with that game ball...

I'd subtract Aybar and Williams from that list

They’re trying to extend Aybar, and probably will. Williams is the #5 starter for the moment; if he succeeds I’d bet JeDi finds a way to extend him.

So subtracting $5.895, we get $38.667 million certainly coming off the books. We’ve got $17.25 million in raises coming (assuming Ianetta’s option is picked up), so we’re down to $21.5 million in spare change (I rounded). If Aybar signs a Howie-like contract, figure on a 2013 raise of about $4.5 million.

Leaves us with $17 million to play with, and a lot of arbitration & raises to dole out.

All leading to the same obvious conclusion: TRADE VERNON WELLS.

There are some funny things on that chart.

No JeDi.

Trumbo starting at 3B.

Garret Richards rather than Jerome Williams penciled in as the #5.

I thought maybe they (being part of SB Nation) would have reached out to Rev or HH for some insight. Wouldn’t that have been easier/better?

In the long run men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at something high.

probably betterthey did not

if you want to be self-reliant, build it up on your own

You are right, of course.

I just thought HH would be one of the resources they would look at to determine things like playing order, and to find news on the team. There seem to be a lot of inconsistencies that I only pick up on because I get my Angels news here :).

In any case, it is a good effort they are making over there, and a nice site on its own. Nothing like the community here on HH, but it is a different beast.

Complete Angels Organizational Chart?

I think NOT.

Just for starters:

Mike LaCassa
Scott Servais
Matt Klentak
Marcel Lachemann
Larry Corrigan
Tim Schmidt
Hal Morris
Justin Holander
Gary DiSarcina?

It’s a complete organizational chart, from the upstairs offices all the way down to the last open bench spot in Single A

“upstairs offices”?

Coaches
Front Office
Broadcasters

Tony Reagins is in there somewhere. Why isn’t Tony Reagins listed?

Charts make me nauseous.

"One time, when we got back to the locker room, all of our clothes were gone," Trout recalled. "They left me a Lady Gaga costume and I had to wear it."

Other people being nauseous makes me nauseous

"When my mother was pregnant with me, they did an ultrasound and found she was having twins. When they did another ultrasound a few weeks later, they discovered that I had adsorbed the other fetus. Do I regret this? No, I believe his tissue has made me stronger. I now have the strength of a grown man and a little baby."

All this nauseous talk has made me nauseated.

After this off-season, I have no recollection of this Del Ninja character we used to discuss.

This is Really Poorly Done

Garrett Richards pitched 14 innings in 2011. Even if he was on the 25 man roster here on out the earliest he would be arb1 would be 2015. Same thing with Trout.

You can find something else — something that is far superior — at Cot’s Baseball.
