Man on second, tie game, who do send up at the plate, Derek Jeter or Pete Rose?

>small sample sizes
Assuming the Angels will be a playoff team by 2020 that's sure to be disproven instantly.

Jeets

Unironically the thinking mans answer. Any consistent contact hitter

The shift would make Gwynn obsolete.

>shifting against someone that can literally hit it anywhere

Yeah have fun with that brah. The shift would destroy Ted William's too right?

the angels won’t make the playoffs in the next seven years lol

What are you smoking? They've got deep pockets to get any free agent pitcher they wish and have a Top 10 farm system with multiple guys already coming up to take flight. Angels are without a doubt a legitimate threat to dethrone the Astros next year.

their rotation is piss
Simmons and LaStella are the only hitters outside Trout and their bullpen is trash
the athletics, rangers and Astros have better chances of making it then the Angels
that and they murdered their aces arm to make him a DH unicorn lmfao

Ohtani is pitching in 2020, Fletcher is one of the hardest hitters in the league to strike out, Adell is primed to take right field by next season and he projects to be 5 tool like Trout. They have enough money to bring Gerrit Cole to Anaheim and could honestly strike a trade for a guy like Bauer with their farm system's depth. You honestly know nothing man.

>muh two way pitcher hitter hybrid
accept it bro the angles won’t do shit in this decade

Forgetting Fletcher, Adell, Walsh, and maybe even Thaiss. I'm beyond hyped for 2020's offense. My dream offseason is signing Cole and then trading for Bauer and Hand without having to give up Adell. This team is primed for a big run.

Trout is overrated as fuck

Stop being emotionally driven on memes. The Angels are the sleeping giant you need to be fearing next year. They're in prime position to make it happen.

they are good and im not an angels fan, i live in portland, hate seattle and just play dfs every day i am neutral and objective

Jessica Mendoza

they’re a eternal .500 team with incompetent management if they ever had a chance at a title they would’ve done so in the last eight years

Sorry dude, Kole won't be back next year as much as I really love him. We've got Adell coming up to take his place and he's gonna be a star overnight. Dude dominated the futures game on Sunday.

Injuries constantly are a factor as to why the Angels haven't shown their highest potential yet. They've managed to average rougly 80 with those lingering. Without? Oh be afraid, be very very afraid.

that and they signed the corpse of Albert pooholes

And yet they're one of the richest teams in baseball with other dead contracts like Hamilton and Wilson off the books and can use the attractiveness of Orange County to lure top free agents down the road. Maybe not now, but by 2020 the Angels could be a legitimate force.

Cole will be an Astro or a Yankee bro

He's from Orange County and probably would love the idea about pitching home. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

yeah i didnt realize it has been this bad

And yet in some stretches Pooh has shown to be efficient. Sure the financial obligations to him make no sense now, but he's still an effective hitter when needed and would love to see him win one more here and reach 700 by the time his contract ends.

>Not Ted Williams
idiot person answer

They did shift on Ted Williams dummy

honestly is sad seeing the decline

I think Angels or Padres will land him.

but this guy is not declining he keeps getting better and we may never see a better hitter

the smart money is on rose.

Modern day Mickey Mantle. Angels could honestly have the two best ever in baseball right now in Trout and Ohtani. Any year without giving them a title is just a mere sin. Don't fucking waste either of them.

>they did shift on Ted William's

And it apparently had no effect on his game lmao

bonds

Pete

>.083 BA in the playoffs
OH NO NO NO THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF MIKE FISH.

The shift doesn't work against a contact hitter who can and does hit the ball literally everywhere. One of the first shifts ever in baseball history was tried on Ted Williams. Guess what? Didn't work.

LOL this is bait right?

I'm not sure how retarded you have to be to hold Trout's 3 postseason games against him. This isn't basketball, one player isn't going to carry a team to victory.
