Arte Moreno is a ruthless signage.
It was a PR signing as much as his baseball ability. He was signed to take some of the Latin market from the Dodgers. That was why they came up with the goofy LAAofA name.If they had a few saber guys in the front office they would have warned the Halos of his steady decline.
But during the Scoscia years, sabermetrics was a foreign concept.
And more importantly investigate his real age. It was a fleecing for sure.
he should have been released 5 years ago, the angles should be liberated now that they are cancer free. Angels -1.5 +155 tonightA little shocked. Release a HOF player in the last year of his contract?
Low class move by Halos. Sure Walsh is one of the best young prospects on first
but still...
lets hope a White college player takes his spot. Angels offense has been stuck in the mud for 10 years, since puljos arrivedA little shocked. Release a HOF player in the last year of his contract?

Yup, him and pujols are the same, anytime they get a hit you're surprised.the Tigers are in the same boat w/ Miguel Cabrera, they don't know what to do with him. Guy is hitting .105
he is in a 30 day slump, puljos was in a 3000 day slump appples and orangesthe Tigers are in the same boat w/ Miguel Cabrera, they don't know what to do with him. Guy is hitting .105
They need to pay him to go away. It only costs $500k - the cost of a rookie replacement.the Tigers are in the same boat w/ Miguel Cabrera, they don't know what to do with him. Guy is hitting .105
Miggy has sucked foe five years now. It has cost the Tigers Verlander and Scherzer.he is in a 30 day slump, puljos was in a 3000 day slump appples and oranges

Signing Pujols doesn’t excuse the pathetic farm system they have had for 20 years, excluding Teout and the pitcher who was killed.

it was zero productive years. nobody goes to or watches angels because of puljosI said at the time of the signing it was a bad deal. As out of shape as he is to expect him to keep hitting like that for that many years down the line was a joke
Pujols deal has to be broken down 2 ways:
OFF the field: Brilliant. Paid for itself multiple times over in increased sponsors, marketing deals, team awareness and no way the Angels get a 20-year/$3B deal w/o Pujols
ON the field: A disaster. We knew it would only be 5-6 productive years
I could see a bottom feeder AL team picking him up to say he played for them and to hit HRs for them
Arte owns the team and when Arte has played GM the deals are awful: Pujols, Josh Hamilton, Gary Matthews, Jr - 3 brutal FA deals. And don't forget the Vernon Wells trade
Arte lowered beer prices when he first took over and because of that is seen as a great owner. He quickly raised them and he is an awful owner.
In poker if you have a bad handYup, him and pujols are the same, anytime they get a hit you're surprised.
No one, as a DH he puts up below avg production - hitting 200 isn't hard. If he played all year he might have hit 15 HR's - big deal.All this Pujols sucks talk aside, who signs him?
puljos is 44 yr old roid head
Pujols will be dancing on your grave....

john.....how many times does vd have to taught railbird with death before he gets a warning.....i'd rather listen to bigrubber run on calling everyone a nazi then listen to someone 'daily' pretty much wish death on posters
White Sox are the leading candidate.All this Pujols sucks talk aside, who signs him?
