The November 17th, 2014 edition of daily news for the Los Angeles Angels including Angels can’t afford Moncada, wondering if Trout already in decline and much more…
The Story: The Angels are interested in Yoan Moncada, but he is probably out of their price range.
The Monkey Says: It is possible that they blew their wad on Baldoquin (eww, that was worded grossly, sorry). As a result, any bid for Moncada will cost them a dollar for dollar penalty. Moreno probably has the cash, but spending $60+ million on one prospect is pretty scary. Then again, if he is as great as people say, then $60 million could be a bargain.
The Story: Mike Trout finally won the MVP, but is he already in decline?
The Monkey Says: The article isn’t nearly as sensational as the title. It does, however, more deeply explore Trout’s trouble with the high fastball and what we can expect to see on that front next season.
The Story: Trout and his coaches see him dialing back on the strikeouts next season.
The Monkey Says: Speak of the devil. Sometimes I think everyone outside of the Angels organization forgets how young Trout is and how he is actually still developing in many regards.
The Story: Mike Trout is a legend in the making.
The Monkey Says: Isn’t he kind of already a legend? I mean, every year we get bombarded by new stats about how much better he was or much more he has accomplished relative to anyone else at his age. I think that makes him a legend that is in the process of making himself more legendary.
The Story: The people who hate Mike Trout are dumb.
The Monkey Says: Yes, obviously. But do those people really exist? I don’t feel like I’ve actually seen much of that anywhere. I’m sure some Tiger fans still hold a grudge about Miggy’s MVPs being contested, but I don’t think I’ve seen any Trout hate. I could be wrong.
The Story: A Zepp sensor-aided look at Mike Trout and Giancarlo Stanton’s swings.
The Monkey Says: Interesting stuff, though it reads a bit like and ad, though it purports not to be one.
The Story: Dan Haren will consider retirement if the Dodgers try to trade him anywhere but to the Angels.
The Monkey Says: This is awkward. No offense, Danny, but you might want to check your retirement fund because the Angels aren’t going to trade for you.
The Story: The best performances of the Arizona Fall League.
The Monkey Says: In which they clearly scrape the bottom of the barrel to try and find nice things to say about the Angels representatives.
