The Pat Riley Anaheim Angel Return, circa 2017

[Kingdom]

Stan Van Crazy Gundy ..well.. was like a mother hen, sitting on and keeping my eggs (in this case, young people) cozy while they eventually hatched. While I appreciate drafting the Wraith (the Dwyane Wade addition), shame on you for signing Adam Davis and all those other guys longterm (the Antoine Walker additions). You had 20 2Bs! 21 makes no difference.

I digress.

Porter, you still suck.

Contraction draft (Elbert) and free agency (Wood, Pelaez) were very fruitful and hopefully acquisitions of Bixby and Deltoro also pay off. Texas is a possible concern, but they passed on Butler so it's a papercut concern.

[Providence A's]

Texas also passed on Knipp...and by passed on I mean made crappier offers.

[Mackus]

Certainly were crappy offers compared to what you got. But thats way more than I would've been comfortable paying.

Starting to regret my choice of Brown over Butler a little bit, but he's still quite good. I'm still at least a year away from competing, but should be adding a lot more to my stable through this year's draft.

[Providence A's]

they were crappy because no one you offered would have been even as good as Knipp had they panned out. I don't think the 2 guys I got made the deal unfair, but it's fine if you didn't want to pay that. I just didn't think those offers were all that good from my point of view.

[Kingdom]

It's good that he didn't pay it. Would have been even more embarrassing for him to suck with two aces in his rotation. Muwhahahaha.

[Kingdom]

time to rock 'n' roll!

[Halladay_is_God]

Queen finally filling out?

[Kingdom]

the Green Arrow is a late bloomer

[Porter]

I don't suck. I'm medicore with 81-90 wins.

[Kingdom]

You still suck.

[Mackus]

Mediocre is worse than sucking.

[Kingdom]

and that's what she said
