Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) The Angels are gonna have to start focusing on the wildcard pretty soon. The Rangers are just too good. Edited May 14, 2012 by Jordan4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rangers are just too good. I think they just need to start focusing on winning baseball games first, worry about the playoffs later. Only KC & Minny have worse records in the AL.

Only KC & Minny have worse records in the AL. Of course. I'm just saying, the Twins and Royals didn't dole out well over $300 million dollars last winter. Another week or so and the Angels could be 10+ games out. They'll eventually start playing better, I think. But they'd have to go '06 second half Twins to catch Texas. Thus the WC being their only way to reach the postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Fun with WAR...... Best hitter in baseball - Josh Hamitlon (3.2 WAR) Best pitcher in baseball - Jake Peavy and Justin Verlander (2.0 WAR) Worst hitter in baseball - Albert Pujols and Brennan Boesch (-1.0 WAR) Worst pitcher in baseball - Clay Buchholz (-0.6 WAR) Quite a few names that you wouldn't expect to be there 1 1/2 months in to the season, huh?

Raburn has a 11 wRC+, 89% below league average. Pujols is at 34, Boesch is at 67. Edited May 15, 2012 by chw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like sluggers going from NL to AL over the past year has been very wacky. Dunn hit .160, Pujols looks like he might do something similar. Prince Fielder is hitting okay, but he has almost no power (I believe he has like 10 extra base hits this year). A-Gon was great last year, but is suffering from lack of power as well.
