Sitting watching the 2017 playoffs has been very frustrating for me as it has most of the decade because the LA Angels haven’t found the right combination to qualify for the post-season once again. I could sit & complain but it does no good

So I started thinking that if I had the ear of the LA Angels general manager what would be five things I could suggest for him to do to make things better and build a championship caliber team.

I’m not going to be one of those people who wants to go out and spend, spend, spend or make ridiculous trade proposal that an opposing GM would get fired if they accepted them.  Instead I would look from within whenever possible, but not be afraid to make a move that make sense or sign a free agent that would fill a void.

The Angels have plenty of talent to compete if it is used the right way could yield a pennant. With that said I came up with a list of five things that if they are done should make the Angels a World Series contender.
