    Who wouldn't? Simba is the Ozzie Smith of our times and his bat has finally come around the past couple of years. He's super cheap.

    The real question is if Swanson continues to struggle offensively would you move him and some lesser pitching for Simba at the deadline if the Angels are out of it?

    Swanson's days of struggling went out the window with his faulty wrist parts. .750 ops or bust this season

    Debt reduced by $132M from 626M in Sep 2017 to 494M at the end of 2018. That makes me optimistic that once they get debt down to a level they are comfortable with, we can see some larger increases in payroll.

    They also said that they are building Phase 2 of the Battery which will cost an extra $200M

    that's related...i'm sure some of the construction is debt financed and they have a plan to pay it down

    i imagine the plan for paying that down is related to the revenue flow from that new construction...but yeah they could cannibalize the team to do that...don't think that would be wise

    I love Gattis, but Duvall can actually play a position and gives you a decent RHH bat.
