So this is my counter-point article to Vincent’s. The Los Angeles Angels have done very little in the past three off-seasons and for good reason. The obscene contract that was given to Josh Hamilton in 2013 made big ticket purchases in the free agent market not feasible for the Angels. Don’t get me wrong in the past couple of season with Billy Eppler as the general manager have still had some significant moves that have improved the team.
Eppler was able to acquire an all-star shortstop Andrelton Simmons for an aging veteran and highly regarded pitching prospect.
