This piece was obviously about his defensive value, but curious what you think about Bichette’s offense… do you think it’ll hold up as he ages? Any concern about the low bat speed?

It feels like a slightly more expensive 2024 Zach Plesac-type flier.

I understand what you’re saying about there not being a single all-encompassing stat that’s a tell all.
I guess what I’m really asking is: what do you recommend people do to evaluate players? Is there a specific process to follow or is it just completely individual for each player?

So what do you recommend people use to analyze pitchers (and hitters) in the year of baseball 2026?

Yeah, clearing Soler would be a big motive in this hypothetical. $15M in 2027 is a little too pricey for my taste.
But a GM not guaranteed to be employed in 2027 might prefer to take on less money in 2026 and more in 2027.

I was thinking maybe you swap Soler for him, but that only takes care of the 2026 money. I’d be hesitant to take on the full $15M he’s due in 2027.

Getting out of the extra 2 years is a massive win, imo.
I could easily see the Nimmo contract being an albatross 2-3 years from now.

Adding a solid SP3/SP4 would really help solidify things. They need some more innings certainty.

This feels right, though I think they’ll be hesitant to trade Adell/Ward. I could see them opting to keep both, not sign Mullins and go with Teodosio/Adell in CF (bleh).

Four current/former Angels in the bottom seven…

The coaching— particularly what should be an improved PP and PK— gives me optimism they’ll be better.
This preview paints a bleak picture for their defenseman. A couple of the young guys need to step up and Gudas/Trouba need to be better.

You haven’t watched the 2025 Angels then. Smart man.

And that awful run differential continues to grow!
Now they’re gonna use the excuse that their run differential is inflated by position players pitching.
Which is technically true, but also a reflection of your team.
