What has really doomed the Angels is being consistent mid tier. Too good to get good draft picks and too awful to make the playoffs. At some point, doesn’t Arte realize that tanking a few years is the same as finishing the season with a .500 record, except the former helps replenish the farm and allows you to compete in the future?

Had the Angels tanked following 2014, we’d be like the Astros right now. So I don’t get it. Why is rebuild not an option with this fucking clown?
