It seems that Art really does need to sell that team. Skaggs was just a few years older than me and I had just had my third neurosurgery having to deal with the pain pills and was shocked that it could happen to a professional athlete. To me, it really made all athletes much more human than I tended to think.
With the weight rooms, I guess that is one of the many reasons why these crazy teams the Angels have put together over the years with Trout, Ohtani, Pujols, etc. just did not perform.
Do you think Rendon is just misunderstood by the public and baseball beat writers or is he really as arrogant and out of touch as he seems?
Rendon is introverted and Arte's attitude is to control the press so the stories always look worse than they are...last year they were hiding that he had a broken leg!
Arte does this to try and protect the trade values of the players...which is really stupid IMO.
Same with contract shape...they will pay the player too much at the end of the contract instead of normalizing it on an average.
I remember telling them it was stupid they wanted to pay me more in the 5th year than I made in the first 2 years combined...but they insured my contract and got it all paid back by insurance when I got hurt and missed time so maybe I was dumb...

they did the same with Albert, same with Trout's deal etc.
But in the mean time, they could have signed Sabathia, Cole etc but didn't pony up.
