Angels MOD #1
I have burdened myself with the not so enviable task of rebuilding the depleted Angels farm system through the draft. To make it even harder, the Angels had to go out and sign Josh Hamilton,...
Thrifting on Day Three: Finding Value on the Cheap
Even if a team hits on its first pick every year, which is unlikely to begin with, they still need more than one starter from every draft in order to remain relevant. While the most glamorous,...

I was banned on LSB a few months ago for saying that Trout would hit .360 one day. Don't look now, but he is essentially doing that slash line exactly... as a 20 year old..

Mixing Things Up: A Different Mock
So, I decided that too many mocks focused on pleasing commenters rather than ingenuity. I know these picks may not be what you are used too, but I think its fun to diverge from the status quo....

Rodney Pulls a Mathis
35Money Quote "Four games ... In 162 games, that's not a lot," Rodney said. "Look around baseball. A lot of teams have problems with their closers. St. Louis, Kansas City, the Chicago White Sox. They get more chances. I've walked too many guys, but I know I can do my job. I feel good."

Breaking News: Vernon Wells Related to Fat Dog
6LOL scroll down... "The dog weighs 180 pounds and is appropriately named Big Splash. In China (Anaheim), the Tibetan Mastiffs (Vernon) are thought to be holy animals (becuz theyz is allstars), blessing their owners' health and security, and have become a status symbol in recent years. They’ve come to represent affluence and prices for the breed have been driven up 500 percent a year. The owner’s (Tony Reagins') investment may end up paying off, however, since breeding the dog (dog works) has the potential to be quite lucrative. Some breeders are willing to pay as much as $100,000 to get access to Big Splash's gene pool." So this is Tony's plan! Breed Big Splash to Premium and let the dough roll in!!

5I got a Dirty Dan autograph in NY! Had a quick convo too. Awesome guy! Me: "Dan, I love your beard" Dan: "Haha Thanks man. I’m growing it back" Me: "I used to throw a splitter too, that pitch kills your hand, huh?" Dan: (yelling to the small crowd) "Do not throw splitters guys! They hurt like hell" I thanked him and he went on his way. Some side notes on my trip to both NY stadiums: At the game, I saw alot of people in Mathis jerseys… FACEPALM.. Citi was amazing, and it didn’t hurt that my aunt got me seats in the 4th row behind home because she works for ABC.. Finally, Blame Mathis for Richards poor start. According to Yankees Stadium, the first 31 pitches were fastballs. Mathis then followed with that genius strategy, calling 9 consecutive sliders after that… Aargh

Mike Trout named to US team, Segura and Richards scrubbed
11No surprise on Trout, but Jean Segura and Garrett Richards should feel robbed after not being selected. Segura would have been the World team's SS if not for Ranger's prospect Jurickson Profar. So, yet another reason to hate Texas!
