Would love another episode of Victor, Chuck, and Geoff deep diving into the draft. Possibly even influence the birdies that watch the POD. Victor has such good insight, really wish he was in the organization. I think they’re afraid he would hold them accountable and force them to give some insight to the fanbase as to what the plan is!!
Awesome show guys !! Thank you !! Like Victor said, sustainability. Build up the minor league system and put $ into the entire organization. The Angels fans here are 1000% loyal but the fans are getting restless. Sick of losing and worse with no plan or communication from management. If they would be honest and tell us that we're rebuilding and going with the kids, then everyone would have hope and enjoy watching the kids grow up. All we get is silence. Wish we could all ask management, how stupid do you think Angels fans are ??? We all know a lot,lot more than you give us credit for. 1000% agree with all of your ideas about the upcoming draft. Get the very best player available with each pick !! The only way we're gonna get to be a contender again is with our kids, kids acquired thru the trade deadline, and thru the draft. Sorry to say this again but we all are sick of losing. We're not greedy, just want to have a team that has a opportunity to go to the playoffs. Quick note to Victor, my wife and I just got back from Orlando and Ft.Myers/Estero. Loved it more than ever, so fun and awesome !! Take good care Looking forward to next episode, your podcast is a voice for all of us Angels fans. Go Angels !!!!
Shaking hands was one of the hardest parts of the game when I played. In both directions, as the winner you feel bad for the losing team... and as the losers you just dont want to. But in the end it makes everyone feel better. Sportmansship must always be there. Life lessons.
Arte’s philosophy has systematically destroyed the player development and scouting departments. Over-spend on aging vets and neglect the farm system. Not a winning strategy. It’s all caught up.
The amount of years it’ll take to rebuild this organization from head to toe is gonna be a long one there’s so much of Artes mess that needs to be cleaned up but so long as Arte is here the trash is gonna keep piling up.
I think you only get to accumulate your pool amount if you sign people to those slots, which is why they sign some cheaper guys in the 7th or 8th to things like $7500 so you can save those slot amounts to other spots. This allowed them to get Cadan Dana, Barrett Kent, Mason Albright later in the draft. After 10 you just give them the standard amount of I think $125k and doesn't add to your pool unless you draft someone under that. Also, Jo Adell is out of options, so are you advocating sending him down to AAA by passing him through waivers? That wouldn't work because he would get claimed and you lose him for nothing. I understand the rants about them making dumb mistakes but this is the year to learn. The mistake was adding Jo to the 40 man in 2020, which started the clock on his option years for any year he spent time in the minors after that point. If there is a plan this year, isn't it to find out what you've got? What can Wash, Johnny Washington, and Barry Enright do with the guys we have and who is worth keeping. Who will be worthwhile to keep in our rotation going forward? Soriano, Canning, Silseth, Detmers, Sandoval: Who can Enright get right by the time the trade deadline is here? Who can we get anything for if we trade them now versus who can be built up (who will be under team control) and traded for more in the future. You're right we need quality over quantity, so trading people like Ward or Rengifo or Anderson for middling prospects probably not worth it. How would you order these mistakes from biggest mistake to least: 1) Trading Napoli and Juan Rivera for Vernon Wells 2) Ohtani no trade and other deadline moves from last year 3) Not Hanging onto Torii Hunter 4) Signing Josh Hamilton 5) Signing Anthony Rendon 6) Trading Nolan Ryan
We hockey players shake after every game from out toddler years until forever. Victor you are so right but it’s Moreno who you claim wants so bad to win. You also say he’s a friend of yours but he is the problem without a doubt.
I agree with most of what Rojas believes but I also think his personality i.e. bluntness per one's employer - is the major reason why he was never going to be the GM. Now he comes across as a jilted lover that won't move on and is still convinced he was best suitor for the gal that declined his proposal. He acts like someone in his late 20's early 30's - time is short Victor best to be satisfied with what you've landed with TX before you begin to do this per Ranger mgmt..

Great episode fella's. I enjoy hearing this passion even though it is criticism. This franchise deserves all the criticism one can muster.

Hey guys, I've been waiting for the next episode. Let's go .. 👍🏻👍🏻

I would trust Les Snead and Sean McVay ahead of Perry and co when it comes to the draft!!!
God victor is amazing
