The Story: Jim Bowden thinks the Angels should extend Mike Trout right now.
The Monkey Says: He also thinks that water is wet, that murder is bad and that Lance Armstrong might have done PEDs. I tell ya, that Jim Bowden is one controversial dude!
The Story: Attempting to project Josh Hamilton's 2013 by looking into his swing and contact rates.
The Monkey Says: When the name Miguel Olivo is invoked, you won't be able to help but tremble all the way to the core of your soul. I do agree though that no matter what we see from Hamilton, his career and talent level or so unique that he is essentially unprojectable. Still, MIGUEL OLIVO!

Replacing Torii in the Two-Hole (Part 3) - Creating the Most Prolific Lineup
Via Angelswin

January 22, 2013
By Gregory Bird - AngelsWin.com Columnist
In our first two articles we looked in depth at Torii’s performance last year batting second. We also examined the candidates to replace him. But it’s still unclear, so we ask again: Who goes in the two-hole in 2013? Of course, we all want a lineup—billed as the most prolific of our era— to live up to expectations and carry the...

Should Josh Hamilton Bat 2nd in 2013

January 24, 2013
This is a question that doesn't deserve to be dignified with an answer. C'mon now, shouldn't Josh Hamilton really be batting 2nd in the Angels’ lineup come 2013? The answer is so obvious, who wouldn't want to see a Trout-Hamilton-Pujols-Trumbo lineup? That is easily the deadliest 1-4 in all of baseball within recent memory. I haven't been a fan of baseball as...

January 22, 2013
Few people benefitted more from this offseason (indirectly) than Erick Aybar. Assuming he holds down the second spot in the Angels stacked lineup like MLBDepthCharts.com projects, it’s virtually impossible for him to score fewer than the 85 runs we project. Josh Hamilton and Albert Pujols might be baseball’s best 3-4 duo, and if they’re not it’s only because Detroit has the...

Howie Kendrick's Breakout Year

January 22, 2013
Watching Howie Kendrick hit has always been a joy for me. The way he sprays line drives all over the field is simply fun to watch. When a hitter is consistently able to square the ball up no matter the location, they are pretty special. Kendrick falls into this category when he is going well, as he is extremely tough to get out and seems to hit everything. Angel...
