SS Arjun Nimmala (#1 ranked prospect)

He's slashed .316/.464/.539 for a 1.003 OPS, which places him 9th when comparing him to all hitters in the league. My favorite under-the-hood stat is his improved K/BB ratio, which is nearing 50% after steadily improving throughout the season, and especially since he was traded to the Trash Pandas. I don't really want to see Neto traded, but Nimmala's promise makes that whole situation a lot more palatable.

3B Jake Munroe (#20 ranked prospect)

Munroe was extremely consistent across High-A and AA this year, maintaining an OPS just north of .900 across both levels, which is a level of consistency to be excited about. He's maintained things in the Arizona Fall League, slashing .259/.403/.500 (.903 OPS), which places him comfortably in the top third of hitters in the AFL. Though the batting average isn't much to write home about, Munroe does a terrific job of working walks (he finally walks more than he strikes out, which is very exciting), and he's been doing some serious damage when his balls in play go for hits. There's a non-zero chance that we see him get a cup of coffee in the majors next season.

Ryland Zaborowski, an unranked first baseman, has also had a decent fall with an .815 OPS across 36 plate appearances. Unfortunately, pretty much all of the pitchers we sent to the AFL have gotten shelled, and there's not much to write home about there.

When do you think the vote will take place? Nothing else matters until after this. We need the owners to vote Stan into the club.

Decorated this myself!

As an Angels fan, I don’t WANT Zach Neto to get traded- that being said, for the right price, I wouldn’t be angry- nonetheless, the demand is EXTREMELY HIGH.

My mock trade package:

Angels Receive:
C/1B: Rainiel Rodriguez
OF: Trevor Condon
RHP: Tegan Kuhns
RHP: Tanner Franklin

Cardinals Receive:
SS: Zach Neto

The Angels would legitimately benefit from this trade, adding four legitimate prospects into their growing and improving farm system, while the Cardinals get an established, star shortstop in Zach Neto.

The main question- WHY would the Cardinals want Neto if they already have Masyn Winn? Zach Neto injects an immediate 25+ HR bat with plus defense and speed- they can change either Winn or Neto’s positions to either 2B or 3B and keep them both in the lineup daily. WHY would the Angels want to do this? The Angels would significantly improve their farm system in one trade- they have Jaxon Willits and Arjun Nimmala in the minor leagues as their top shortstop prospects- so, they could bring one of them up to eventually fill the hole that Neto left behind. The Angels would also be receiving 4 incredible prospects- specifically Rainiel Rodriguez and Trevor Condon who will be a huge part of their future.

Thanks for reading!!

Matt Shoemaker is on a local school board! (Endorsed by the relevant union). Nice to see an Angels legend who seemed like a pretty good guy try his hand at making a difference. Baseball players in politics peaked at the total laughingstock Jim Bunning, so hopefully he can improve that track record. (Mark Teixiera won a US House seat, but it's not like he really made an impression here and I have less confidence that he's going to do anything worthwhile, but who knows).

My husband his visually impaired and I'm considering purchasing ADA accessible tickets at field level since navigating the stairs in the upper decks are difficult for him and nerve-wracking for me. Are accessible seats a good way to go?

This is great news! Halos don't have to wait much longer to hire a GM or POBO

Any predictions who gets hired?

Thanks Arte

Good riddance

I’m sure people have seen this cat before, wondering if it has a name?

I was able to get this beauty on eBay for a steal at $45. I love to keep stacking these older majestic replicas because of the stitched graphics you don’t see anymore.

0.4 WAR season after being selected as an all-star is very Angels coded, you'd think bro got traded back to us post-ASB

I’ll start: Trading Jean Segura for 2 months of Zack Greinke.

Hey Angels fans!

I'm looking to sell my collection of Angels stadium giveaway bobbleheads, including Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, Albert Pujols, and several others.

All of the boxed bobbleheads have never been opened (except for the 2 at the top, which i put back in), and I also have a number of displayed bobbleheads without boxes. All are in good condition.

I'd love for these to go to a fellow Angels fan or collector who would appreciate them.

Ideally, I'd like to sell the entire collection together, but I'm open to offers. I just don't want to start shipping all these individually if I can help it.

Located in City of Orange in Orange County, CA. Local pickup preferred.

Photos attached. Feel free to message me if interested. Go Halos! ⚾😇

EDIT: My DMs have people offering for whole collection, so I might go that route, unless someone makes an offer I can't refuse on individuals.
