It's been 14 years since the LA Angels shook up the baseball world. Albert Pujols, long renowned as the best right-handed hitter in baseball, inked a mega-contract to come to California. CJ Wilson joined him, set to help anchor the pitching staff after signing his own lucrative deal. Meanwhile, there are rumblings about a kid named Mike Trout who may just be ready to join the everyday lineup.

As we know, this (and subsequent efforts) did not work, and that failure set the stage for more than a decade of struggles and relative futility despite significant star power in the locker room. Here, we'll do what we can to run things back and create better outcomes in Orange County.

At the outset, this team is...good. Not perfect, and with genuine questions to answer about the following year(s), but solid, and with plenty of star power to put fans in the stands. Let's see what we can do!
