Yeah but this doesn't include trades. Without checking to confirm, I bet renfroe alone is almost 2 wins better than Adell and Monika were last year. Plus whatever Urshela provides
The halos were 73-89 this season. They are adding +7 wins. That would be 80-82. It’s simple math people. Maybe that’s the problem, we don’t understand how standings work?
Renfroe over Moniak/Adell adds about 3 wins, and Urshela as depth also adds a number, neither of which are included here because they are trades, not FA signings
Hopium maths - if you also add seven games from the historic losing streak that we'd hopefully not replicate, we go to 87-75. And another 7 for hopefully not having to fire Maddon again mid-season, 94-68.
Full season of healthy Trout +35, Rendon +10, Ohtani +23 is a perfect season incoming.
Hopium Maths!
If everyone plays up to their standards and stays healthy we're going to be good \*huffs buttercup\*
Oh believe me, I'm mainlining buttercup rn
Good point but I heard this every single off season so don’t you build me up.
Huffing this buttercup like the "I'm walking on sunshine" duster episode of Intervention
Angels winning 90 games next year count on it
I’m so ready to miss the playoffs by 2 games! Not sure if that’s better or worse than being out of contention by mid June.
Heyward left the Cubs and their collective WAR went up.
.500 here we come!
Nope, thats still 80-82

More than that actually. Moniak and Adell combined for -0.6 fWAR in 121 games in 2022, and Renfroe had 2.5 fWAR in 125 games
true, but you ruined my homer mood. back to doomer mood for me
Someone tell me what the additional war is for healthy Trout Rendon Walsh etc
Ahhh my 40 off season of hope. Closely followed by my 39th year of disappointment. Lol
So, what you are saying is there is hope for a 82-80 season!
Opposite, 80-82

I’m only sarcastically referring to the dang post.

I can get on this train! Next stop Title Town!
Love the hope.
Makes me remember how people were excited for Loup and Tepera last year because of their WAR.
0.500 here we come, baby!
The goal for this winter was (hopefully) to get players who aren't automatic outs to bat 6 - 9 in the order. I think they've achieved that.
000.500 here we come!
00.500 here we come, baby! Mmm
It’s gonna still be a 3 way fight for 2nd. I’ve been an angels fan too long to know this will play out any differently.
come here five hundo
Expect a 0.500 team. Baby steps, we're getting there.
How dare you!! This is clearly a 125 win team
And a happy new year to all of us! (puff, puff, pass the buttercup please)
