The funny part here is the one thing we all agree on is that the Angels have done something odd here–shafting a superstar-level kid out of a few hundred bucks they’ll never miss, which could well create a sense of alienation in the kid that will make it difficult to sign him to a longterm deal at some point.
Seems to me I’m the only one trying to make some sense of what they’ve actually done. Everyone else here is tearing their hair out of their skulls, and screaming “Have the Angels LOST THEIR MINDS? This is Cuh-razy!”
