Seriously, I don't get the excitement. Other than Trout, I don't see anything exceptional about this team. League average types abound, Ohtani hype, who will be a good but not necessarily great innings limited SP and Upton who is super streaky and had one of his best overall seasons last year, due for a little regression.
Ray - The fielding is exceptional (including at catcher) and the line-up is solid. Biggest question mark is the pitching - especially the rotation. If they could get healthy seasons from Ohtani and Richards................admittedly some big question marks. They won 80 games with Trout missing 1/3 of the season and the rotation in total disarray. Not an elite team yet, but 88-90 wins at this point IMHO.
The excitement for me regarding the Angels is that they are my "adopted" team now that my son is working for them. Jose - yeah, between his honey and the Halos, Chris is in 7th heaven. lol
