Looks as if the Angels are going to sign Hamilton, another FA to cross off the list.

From Fox Sports West RT @joeontheradio: According to MLB source the Angels are in SERIOUS negotiations with Hamilton. No deal yet.

LOL. I bet they give him 4 or 5 years. I hope they fare better on his deal than they did with Gary Matthews and Vernon Wells.

In a couple years, we'll probably be able to lump Pujols and Wilson in there as well. And Hamilton, if they end up signing him.

Does it really matter if they're able to squeeze a championship out of it? Obviously, it's far from a guarantee. But on paper, he gets them closer to one in the short-term.

Yeah, I was going to put Pujols in there but his deal hasn't been a catastrophe...

Yet. There's only 9 years and $225 million left, and he's only going to be 33 next year. What could possibly go wrong?

No, you're right. But they better squeeze a championship out of it.

I wonder if this opens up Trumbo to get traded? There's your RH 1B/DH.

Yeah. Not sure where Trumbo would fit in LAA if the Hamilton deal happens. Have to figure he or Morales becomes expendable.

He'd effectively replace Mark. Mark had a terrible 1st half, Trumbo had a terrible 2nd half, yet still out-OPS'd him.

Yep. He's still 26, and obviously one half season of baseball is too small of a sample size. I'd just hope that the league didn't "figure him out". Hopefully it was just him being too aggressive. I would definitely take him at the right price.

#angels moving in on hamilton. people connected to team seem very confident hamilton will be an angel.

O's need a new owner. 93 wins all that extra money and what does it get you? Nate back on a 1 y 2m deal.

    • Everything revolves around the health of the player. I think Gunnar has more. I think the collision with Mateo set Gunnar back and affected him in ways we will never know. I'm no mind specialist but Gunnar is young plays all out, and that had to bother him. I've watched that collision a number of times. No fault - just two players going all out and one is finished for the year. It just so happened that Gunnar got the yips and his batting went south soon thereafter. Maybe a coincidence but I think we will see a rejuvenated Gunnar next year and all stops are off. 
    • I’m not so sure the bolded part is true. I think a lot of that last bit can have to do with small skills: situational hitting/running, above average play in close games, generally things that can be boiled down to “luck.” I didn’t see this years team as having a major talent discrepancy from the 2023 version.
    • As great as Gunnar is can’t assume he matches last year. That said I like the odds of the team as a whole matching what we did. 
    • The real improvement of this team will come from within.    The 3-5 players they bring in from outside the org will supplement the roster…maybe put it over the top but the real improvement will come from those already in the org.
    • Yeah. -Would love to keep Burnes but I seriously doubt it. -I have a lot of faith in Adley.  - Holliday has huge ceiling even if he isn’t ready to be elite.  - doesn’t always work this way but the better your closer is tends to help rest of pen 
    • Nice OP. Thanks for the effort. Like the chart. Surprised it hasn't received much response. You sum up a lot of what I hope for as well. I'd add: I think a full - healty year of Westy will be even more valuable. I think Gunnar has even more in the tank. I want - hope that Holliday can develop into the lead off hitter and OBP table setter we need. And, I so want Cowser to cut down on strike outs and continue to develop as a professional hitter. I think he has the potential to cover for the loss of Santander while Big K develops on the right side. A lot to hope for but I believe these youngsters have a lot of potential yet to tap. And oh yes - I want Mayo to make Roy and all of us proud! Thanks again for the effort! I look at pitching as if we have a base. I agree with your points 1 and 2.
