This has been a really odd season but the players have pretty much kept it together so far.

Last year's "magic" seems to be missing, but they've kept battling despite the offensive woes.

Half a game out of first . . .

Haven't been following much this year. Really wish we still had Kendrick but looks like pujols is the old pujols again, although he's not hitting at a high percentage

It looks like we'll have two players with at least 40 homers this season. That's probably a first in franchise history.

Always great to beat the Red Sux. But to sweep them at the Big A? Even better.

Most of the teams we've played during this run haven't been very good so this next series against the Twins is going to be a good test, expecially with Shoemaker going tonight.

Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout is out of the team's lineup with a sore heel and listed as day-to-day.

Good to see Iannetta starting to hit again. I was getting sick of Perez's flail and bailing.

Even though DiPoto lost the power struggle with Scioscia--that was never going to end well for him--he should be commended for acquiring good, young, controllable starting pitching. After the 2013 season, things were looking pretty bleak. Because of Moreno's massive contracts to Pujols and Hamilton, the Angels weren't really in position to go after the big-ticket starting pitchers, so it was a legitimate question as to where the pitching was going to come from. Then DiPoto traded the power-hitting Mark Trumbo for Hector Santiago and Tyler Skaggs, and many Angel fans were incredulous. Trumbo, though, was one-dimensional, and it's no surprise to me that his career has stalled. Meanwhile, Santiago has been fantastic since his demotion to the minors last season, and Skaggs, though out this season, showed a lot of promise and should be a long-term fixture in the rotation. Then last winter, he traded the last year of Howie Kendrick (a very good player, but a guy they almost certainly weren't going to retain in free agency) for 6 controllable years of Andrew Heaney, who looks really good. Richards obviously has emerged as the ace, though he was already on the roster when DiPoto arrived, but going forward, the Angels will have young arms Richards, Santiago, Heaney, and Skaggs in their rotation. Three of those four are under 25 and have power arms.

And in December of last year, 9 days after the Kendrick trade, DiPoto traded an insignificant minor league pitcher (Brian Broderick) for Johnny Giavotella, who had been DFA'd by the Royals. I'm not saying Giovatella is awesome, but he's held down the fort pretty reasonably. Another nice under-the-radar move from DiPoto.

He traded the horrible-hitting Peter Bourjos for David Freese in November 2013, and while Freese isn't a great player, that's a win for the Angels. They got a starting third baseman for the guy who is now the Cardinals' fifth outfielder when everyone is healthy.

The Matt Joyce/Kevin Jepsen trade hasn't worked out, but you can't win 'em all. I didn't list all of his transactions, obviously, but I feel like he did a pretty good job overall.
