    8. dunno yet
    9. No.

    I see Neto, O’Hoppe, Trout, five guys who could be replaced and you’d never know it, and whatever Christian Moore’s going to be. They were 25th in runs scored, and they’re basically running out the same squad that’s lost 90 and 99 games the last two seasons.

    I’ll give it a 4. Hopefully O’Hoppe breaks out and maybe Adell runs into a bunch more homers.

  2. 3, the better line up is

    Paris
    Trout
    Neto
    Adell
    Schanuel
    Lowe
    O’hoppe
    Moore
    Teodosio

    Soler is a bench rider

  3. I see three starters, a couple of bench players, and some AAAA/minor leaguers. This is a last place line-up.

  4. Thank you, I was having such a nice day. Then I thought to myself “I could really use some disappointment right about now.”

  5. Bad

    Soler and Paris are massive holes in the lineup, O’Hoppe should be batting 8th, lineup needs to balance from top to bottom

  6. The reality of the lineup is this:

    Perry’s team building and coaching philosophy has been sacrifice simple contact for pure HR swings only.

    He shifted Jeremy Reeds contact approach his first year from seeking contact and low strike outs to power swings and high whiffs

    He swapped him out for a combo of Thames and Johnny Washington who both preached hard to focus on power only.

    The hitters he brought in over the last year were either pure power hitters (Soler) or high whiff low contact guys (Squid) who he also tried to turn into power hitters.

    Now seeing this lineup I honestly see no reason where he’s changing this approach, and I see no reason we don’t end in the same spot we always end in, high HRs with embarsssing on base and strikeout rates to create a very low scoring team

  7. Guys like Moore and Paris could get off to good starts again, but I don’t have much faith that the Angels will know how to keep other teams from figuring them out as the season goes on.

  8. 1) Vaughn Grissom is probably much much better than Paris
    2) we are literally projected for the 2nd-worst positional fWAR in baseball (above only the Rockies) even with Grissom in there, so 2/10.

  9. What’s the record for most losses? This is the lineup that competed with that unfortunately

  10. gonna call this a 1 because the only time i want to see soler in LF this season is during pre-game warmups

  11. Hey, at least we’ll get a higher % of a top 3 draft pick that we will fuck up AGAIN.

    It’s gong to be real hard to fill that stadium this next season with this MLB/AAA team all yr long. Has a team ever been sold in the middle of a season? That’s my hope this season, fuck the record.

  12. This line lineup would be a lot more relevant if we had a starting 5 pitching rotation and middle relief that can be in the top 10 in the league…

  13. Lead the league with Home Run and Strike Out, whilst hitting .235 the entire season

    6/10 and probably 70 wins
