    Gotta say it's great to see those HD batting averages getting up there. And Hinton has been on fire since he recovered from that shoulder surgery. So far he's been on fire for about the last 5 months of minor league baseball

    Angels announcers said both had it easily. What luck w/Pods...time for a blooper Junior. We will forgive all your errors
  3. DHonks
    come on Pods, let's yank one down the line for a 2 run double

    I'm hoping for Hall against K-Rod. Although Grieve's walk ability could help....we need baserunners

    Gotta figure Wise is starting Saturday since we haven't seen him this series
  6. DHonks
    come on Brooks, time for a DP

    What are you watching??? Brewers at Angels, Angels' feed. They showed the replay 3 or so times, and while he was at full extension, he got right up, made a strong throw, and just said some things while going past first. I saw no signs of discomfort on his face or in his body language. Then to open the top of the inning, they showed him in the dugout talking with others, acting like nothing was wrong

    How low will Obermueller's ERA go? Starting the game at 6.80, he's at 6.31 through 5 innings, with only 64 pitches thrown and 11 groundouts vs 3 flyouts Kind of weird, no K's at all in this game so far
  9. DHonks
    Scoop, I can't see anything on the 3 times times they've showed it. Looks like he's fine, as he hasn't held his arm or even stretched it
  10. DHonks
    okay Josh Murray, if Moss can get above the Uecker line, so can you
  11. DHonks
    wow, Jenks looked terrible in that at bat until he crushed that belt high middle-in pitch

    The other thing that bothers me is the "neighborhood" call on double-plays. If a guy's foot isn't on the bag, it's not an out... and no "it's close enough" explanation will ever cut it for me. Although I haven't seen that much this year so far. Maybe it's cause Vina's been hurt
  13. DHonks
    I agree RyDogg. What's interesting is how much umps call people out when the tag actually gets people near the knee or higher.
  14. DHonks
    that was my thought exactly. It leaves more HS guys for us. And what I was trying to argue is that there's more overall talent in drafting HS players, which makes it an added bonus.
  15. DHonks
    here's a possible reason for that. -There's more high schools than colleges. -without looking at numbers, I would estimate that half of all high school players that will eventually sign a pro deal (in their lives) probably do so upon graduating from high school (lets say in 2004). Without taking JuCo into account, that means that 3 years later there will be another strong high school crop, but the college kids (who graduated in 2004) will have already been picked through once. So--once again without crunching numbers--one could hypothesize that only 1/3 of the top talent comes from the college ranks, while the other 2/3rds comes from HS. Then assume that 1/2 of those HS players won't sign. But before that assumption, it's arguable that the HS players have better overall talent AND there are more of them. This leads me to argue that perhaps having a big draft budget, and drafting all high school kids should potentially lead to a stronger farm system than drafting all college kids. It will take longer for them to develop...that is true. In the end, I think a draft strategy that takes both college and high school players is best, however, I would most definitely endorse some sort of ratio similar to what the Brewers did this year, with about 2/3rds or more being from the HS and JuCo ranks. So, does this confuse anyone?

    Okay, so I hate to make this post (so please delete it if you must, or else create a new signings thread), but I was wondering if we could all not post questions and comments in the Draft signings thread. Instead, please just post the relevant information and perhaps the signing bonus. But otherwise it'll get annoying sorting through posts to find signing updates edit: not directly at you, Joe. But in general, we already have several posts for 1 signing. Once they start being reported, it might be hard to sift through and find the actual info in these threads
  17. DHonks
    I agree...Rogers will sign Sunday or Monday. I'm optimistic on Bowman as he could be the steal of the draft
  18. DHonks
    If Khalid Balloui is in the Power 50 next go around, theres something about him Im missing. He's there solely to make Kade Johnson and Enrique Cruz seem like prospects
  19. DHonks
    gotta say, she looks kind of old in that picture....the way the face is. Although the sports t-shirt cancels that out
  20. DHonks
    We are beating the (*insert expletive of your choice here*) out of the Angels. This is wonderfully fulfilling. Gotta agree. Wonder if old man Jenkins sat down before the series and explained to all the new guys that a few years back, the Angels came into Miller Park and kicked our butts en route to the Series. Vengence is ours!

    Good signs from Pods, today and yesterday, and a good night from Brady. Actually, his slump was never all that bad. It was superficial. Maybe I'll crunch the numbers later, but off the top of my head, he's drawn walks, hasn't struck out much, and has been simply hitting line drives too deep into the OF. It seems to me that in the last 5 or 6 games, Pods is trying to pull the ball more
  22. DHonks
    With a 5-run lead, why not? He had only thrown like 75 pitches so why not keep him out there until he forces Nedley to remove him? which is more demoralizing: a) getting only 4 hits and no runs in 17 innings off the Brewers. b) getting only 2 runs off 13+ hits and 2 walks in 6 innings off a Brewer? Either way, the Angels aren't feeling that good right nowh
  23. DHonks
    and some mad props to Brady for last night having a quiet great game
  24. DHonks
    Just tuned in (was helping relatives with computer problems), and it's great to see we're picking up where the AL teams left off in hitting Washburn. Rough year for him so far, but he's proving that with a good offense, poor numbers can still yield wins
  25. DHonks
    First off I would promote Kade Johnson. Perhaps they need to play him a bit less, too, but he needs to be given a last chance, and might as well see if he can do adequately in Indy. Saenz could go to Indy around July 1st, but a full year in AA wouldn't hurt. I would consider promoting Nelson if he's at around .290+ and 20+ hr come August 1st. The problem is that Bergeron, Nunnally, Magruder, and Hart are all in Indy now, and all could contribute in the major leagues if needed. Keeping Nelson in AA for the season might not be a bad idea. I'd also consider promoting Morris from HD. I'd leave Hinton and Vandenberg there for the whole year. Parra should be in Huntsville soon.
