    I like how we have "some pop" but lead the league in homeruns.

    With the Angels and Royals making multiple moves to improve, it is only a matter of time before Luhnow makes some noise.

    Wish we could've gotten in on Murphy. Hoping for something bigger and better, though.

    Didn't he kill the Astros the last series? (during the midst of the losing streak).

    Ugh... seems like an Astros killer from his time with the Rangers... in fact that's exactly why the Angels got him.

    they scurred....

    Murphy is a nice pick up for them…DeJesus is about as average as they come. I guess it gives them depth, but nothing that will help them down the stretch.

    Agree with Beard....I think there's more to Trout's injury than they're directly revealing, otherwise those trades seem awfully redundant (and surprised they have no one in the minors they could just call up)

    The Angels' system is a garbage fire outside of Sean Newcomb.

    I haven't followed them closely at all..have they made too many trades over the last several years or just drafted/developed the farm really poorly?

    Their free agent splurging has limited them in the draft and the international amateur free agent game.

    I went to high school with him, and it kills me to watch him wreck the Astros.
