The Story: A trade idea of sending Mark Trumbo to the Rays for Wade Davis.
The Monkey Says: Sending Trumbo to Tampa for Davis isn't a terrible idea, but I'm not sure it is a good one either. Davis has been a disappointment with the Rays thus far and is far from a guaranteed upgrade in the rotation over Jerome Williams or Garrett Richard...

Sales have slowed at the Pujols 5 Westport Grill in St. Louis since Albert skipped town, so the name will be changed to the Hall of Fame Sports Bar and Grill.
Local restaurant drops affiliation with Pujols
ST. LOUIS Continued anger and disappointment from Cardinals fans over the departure of slugger Albert Pujols has forced a St. Louis restaurant bearing his name to part ways.

Mike Trout is the catch of the day when it comes to center field prospects. After posting a gaudy .338/.422/.508 slash line in the minors, Trout made his big league debut this past season. Though his performance wasn’t all that impressive, Trout still has one of the highest ceilings of any prospect in baseball. But even though Trout no longer needs to prove himself in the minors...

2011 was far from Torii Hunter's best season, but he did finish in a fashion that gives us hope that his old age hasn't taken too much of a toll on his abilties. Can 2012 be the year Hunter revives his career or will it be not only his last as an Angel, but last in the majors?

Dream? The Angels don't need no stinking dream. Reality seems to be suiting them just fine.

Any time something Albert Pujols-related comes across our eyes or ears, it feels like a continuous nightmare that we can't wake up from.

Halos must wait and see with Trumbo, Morales
Later this month, every team in baseball will be deploying to their Spring Training facilities to make key decisions toward their 25-man rosters. But most critical this spring for the Angels -- by far -- are the decisions Mark Trumbo and Kendrys Morales can help make for them.

January 30, 2012
Whenever I read an article about Mike Trout, Vernon Wells, Bobby Abreu, Mark Trumbo or Kendrys Morales I?m bound to come across the same statement ?Having too much depth is a good problem to have.? Every time I read this sentence it makes me want to shake my laptop uncontrollably. I mean sure, that?s a lot of good/potentially good players for a few positions, but this is only healthy...
