B'sin'Glou finished up 65-97 last season. We're 13-13 so far this season.
Decided to keep the 100 All Star Trout I pulled towards the end of last week. I could've sold it, bought the 100 Live Trout and the rest of the live Angels to complete that mission and get some nice returns but I don't know if I can part with my first pulled v20 perfect just yet... So far he's slashing .289/.430/.522, with 6 homers, 21 runs and 23 walks. He's also a big upgrade at CF, even if his defensive stats aren't showing it, and he'll quickly train up at the corners.
My other big change was to make LaValliere my starting catcher vs RHP. Not that he's better offensively vs RHP than Jason Kendall but he's much better defensively. With the generally terrible early innings defense I have (bar Aparicio and now Trout), perhaps his catching skills might give my poor pitchers some help.
Am giving Mitch Keller a go in the rotation this season and he threw a Maddux in his 5th start to repay the favor. I'm not expecting much more from him this season, tbh, though right now he does have the best ERA and FIP of my rotation.
