All AL West Team

Sorbo182 — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 21:57:51 -0000

i did this at the beginning of the season and im going to post it again because im sure the choices will drastically change

RULES:

a player must play the position you choose him for (no left fielders playing center unless they have played the position before, and no starting pitchers relieving or closing, and you cant have more than one closer)

any player that played in the AL west at anytime during the season is fair game (kotch or tex could be used)

heres mine:

LF-Ibanez

CF-Hamilton

RF-Ichiro

3B-Figgins

SS-Young

2B-Kinsler

1B-Teixeira

C-Napoli

DH-Guerrero

Rotation:

Lackey, Santana, Saunders, Duchscherer, Hernandez

Bullpen:

CL-Rodriguez

RP-Ziegler, Arredondo, Shields

if this goes well maybe ill do other divisions every couple of days

Vlad won't be defending his derby title

Sorbo182 — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 01:22:16 -0000

Vlad has decided to sit out the home run derby to take the chance to "recharge his batteries" over the all star break. i think this is a great decision on his part because it seemed that last year the derby took its toll on vlad and his power stroke. the home run derby should still be pretty exciting with all the young power hitters taking part in it. i dont know about the rest of you, but i watch the home run derby every year and always enjoy it because it looks like its just the games premier power hitters having fun and launching balls into the stands, not to mention having the chance to see vlad and GA win it.

Sleeveless Jerseys?

Sorbo182 — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 21:08:15 -0000

do the angels still have their sleeveless home jerseys? it seems like i havent seen them since the beginning of last season and they were always my favorite. did they replace them with the red ones? i tried to find this out on google but nothing came up that was any help. so i figured here would be the best place to find out. thanks for any info you might have to help me out with this!

All star game in Anaheim in 2010?

Sorbo182 — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 08:18:01 -0000

just got a bulletin from one of the many angel fan sites im friends with on myspace, and it said the angels are the front runners to host the all star game in 2010. ive been waiting for this for a while, since the last time it was here i was 1. it isnt quite finalized yet and tampa bay and kansas city are also in the hunt. i think we kind of deserve it more than them though, we do actually go to our home team's games...

glad colon isnt our problem...

Sorbo182 — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 07:33:33 -0000

i just read on mlbtraderumors.com that bartolo colon has now missed his last 2 winter ball starts and is yet to crack 90 miles an hour. im sure half of you have read that already cuz that site seems to give us a lot of our news here, but i think colons effectiveness is just about gone, i dont know if the big man can make it as a control pitcher. alright well leave your thoughts about tubby if you want, thanks

Guillen to The Royals

Sorbo182 — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 09:07:20 -0000

dont know if anyone has heard, or posted this, yet, but mlbtraderumors.com posted that the royals have signed jose guillen to a 3 year, 36 million dollar contract. thank god we only see him for about 6 games now, less chance of him following through with his wishes to "kill all of the angels". this signing really does not make sense for the royals in my eyes. it seems like every off season, they sign one aging veteran, and i can never understand why

HK and Izzy?

Sorbo182 — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 11:08:43 -0000

i just read from mlb.com that the marlins are asking for kendrick AND izturis for miguel cowbrera. im not sure if this has already been discussed or not, but i dont think we can afford to lose both of them. if they wanted figgins and aybar, i would say do it in a heart beat, but izturis may be the best bench player in all of baseball and unless they throw someone else in with lard ass, then i say kendrick is off limits. dont they have uggla anyway? why do they even want HK?

All AL West Team

Sorbo182 — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 03:16:44 -0000

im not sure if people will think this is a fun cool idea, or a really lame and time wasting one, but i think its kinda cool, i was bored in math class today and started thinking about all division teams. kind of like all stars but just for divisions, so there would be 6 teams total. so i was wondering who would make the all al west team. mine would look like this:

LF raul ibanez
CF ichiro
RF guerrero
3B figgins
SS young
2B kendrick
1B kotchman
C johjima
DH anderson
starting pitcher-lackey or haren (toss up)
closer-putz

Good Luck

just stopping by once again to wish the yanks and you guys good luck in the division series. hopefully the halos will give boston hell and i see you guys getting past the tribe, even if you guys knock the angels out, i will still be able to sleep at night knowing that the sox dont have a chance at winning a title. well once again, good luck from a visting angels fan
