It's Better To Be An Angels Fan Than A Dodgers Fan

For many years Angels fans felt like the red-headed stepchild of Southern California baseball.

However, times have changed and it’s the Halos time to shine.

While the Dodgers still do well at the box office and on the field, they just aren’t the same franchise they used to be. The years of tradition they had were flushed down the toilet by FOX and Frank McCourt. I give you many reasons why there is room on the Angels bandwagon if you want to get off the sinking ship that is Dodgers baseball.

Fantasy Baseball Prospect Report: Mark Trumbo

With Kendry Morales’ season officially coming to an end, it’s interesting that there hasn’t been more focus put on Mark Trumbo, the Angels’ slugging first base prospect at Triple-A.  While Trumbo isn’t the same player Morales is, he certainly has the potential to be a contributor in the middle of the Angels lineup.

Let’s take a look at his production through Thursday:

Buy or Sell: Don't Let Scott Kazmir's Sparkling June Fool You

While Angels’ southpaw Scott Kazmir struggled with a 7.20 and 5.97 ERA in April and May respectively, the 26-year-old has seemingly salvaged his season with a deceiving June.

In 23 innings (four starts) this month, Kazmir is 4-0 with a 2.35 ERA. What most fail to see is his 1.35 WHIP and 13/15 K/BB ratio, both of which raise red flags.

The Kendry Quandry: Angels Looking at One Replacement for Two Spots

Who's on first? Who cares?

 

The timeless Abbott and Costello comedy bit about baseball has become a real-life drama for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

 

Since Kendry Morales' break heard 'round the world on May 29, fans and baseball pundits alike have wondered aloud in a unified voice: Now what are they going to do?

 

Major League Baseball: 1975 - The Worst Draft Ever

Almost certainly the worst job Major League Baseball teams ever did of handicapping baseball talent happened in the 1975 Draft. It was a bad, bad draft on many levels.

The first player selected was my all-time biggest draft bust: Danny Goodwin. Adding to the fact that this was the second time Goodwin was the first player selected in the draft, he was also given what was then almost certainly a record bonus for a drafted player of $125,000.

MLB Draft: If You Pitch, They Will Come

With the Washington Nationals' publicity machine on overdrive, baseball in D.C. could be at an all-time high.

Bryce Harper, as you all know by now, is christened as the next, next, next big thing.

Stephen Strasburg and his 14 strikeout debut against the Pittsburgh Pirates lived up to everything it was meant to be and more!

Obviously, two No. 1 picks will get the glory, we all know that, but what about the guys getting drafted in the 20th, 30th, and 40th rounds.
