if Trout is half the player that Salmon was, the Angels should draft as many players as they can that are associated with fish.

Angels option catcher Hank Conger to triple-A Salt Lake to clear roster spot for RHP Tyler Chatwood, who will start against the Rangers tonight.

Worth noting
• Texas' 11-game win streak is the longest in the Majors this year.

• Thirty of the last 42 games between the Rangers and Angels have been decided by three runs or fewer.

• The Angels and Rangers enter the series having split their six previous meetings this season, all of which were played in Texas.

• After beginning the season just 15-20 at home, the Angels went 11-2 on a 13-game homestand before the All-Star break.

The Halos are still on the All-Star Break it seems...or their bats are at least

All-Star break came at the worst possible time for our Halos. It didn't seem to effect Texas though..

I think they are still running the trap :(
Seriously, I'm surprised they ever score.

1 player hitting over .290 (kendrick .294)
1 player with .800 ops (kendrick .802)

a tale of 2 players: ab, hr, avg, obp, slg, ops
Player 1 - 271 14 .218 .248 .406 .654
Player 2 - 154 7 .214 .297 .357 .654

One of these players just got designated for assignment.
The other is making $26M this year, and $24M each of the next 3.

Watching the game tonight was a joke...is it hockey season yet?!?!
