    Something's gotta give before he becomes the next Sean Taylor. And wasn't he living elsewhere before this? IIRC, he sold a home once..was that one broken into as well? Is crime just following him?

    And now this address is out there, as is his reputation as an easy target. I don't get what he's doing. If I were him I'd be living at the top of a fortress style luxury building downtown.

    55 grade to start next season - of course we hope for 60 by mid-season. Get Lux up around where Verdugo was in consensus ranking at the start of 2017, ranked between 50-75 in MiLB and then down into the 30's by September..maybe the best case scenario if he keeps making big strides. Just blow completely past Calhoun even though Calhoun had a lengthy background of mashing ( and trash defense).

    Lux probably won't be reaching Belli-level before graduating, but who cares? If he gives LAD another young, middle IF star we won't give a damn. Imagine having Machado, a healthy Seager and Lux playing like a star. Throw in Belli at 1B and you're just set in the IF for a long time

    Oh you know it's definitely out there that he's the celeb that's an easy target. Some of the guys he thinks are his friends, are not. Gotta keep your lawn cut low..gotta be able to see the snakes.

    And you know he's gonna be at plenty of Lakers' games this year..guys are gonna see him courtside on TV and know they have an opening. Smh Hopefully, the increased copper effort is long term

    You have the entire off-season to hone his skills but I get the hesitation.

    Puig probably has to pay off the cartel still by organizing 'thefts' from his home.

    I disagree.

    With Ohtani his injury hasn't affected his hitting which second only to Trout and Simmons on the Angels lineup. I'd expect that his ability to DH while healing from TJ might have been considered as well.

    It doesn't matter as it calls for speculation now in any case. He'll be back soon enough.

    It's like they just figured out how much they value Ohtani as a pitcher..a team severely limited on the pitching side as a whole. Scioscia needs to take the opp this offseason to GTFO. Trout is outta there after 2020 anyway

    Not fully disagreeing but...
    a) Scioscia will never leave unless until he's personally invited to helm the Dodgers. Until his dying day he feeds his ego by being the cross town rival. LOL at the folly except.. he has a more recent ring than we do.
    b) Trout might stay an Angel merely because of Scioscia, you know how long term first relationships go. Trout and Scioscia are far tighter than Arte and anyone. I'd love Trout, I don't care where he's playing on the field if he was a Dodger.. but that remains a pipedream for now.

    Indeed. Idiots abound.

    Not the way I hear it. Right now rumors suggest Eric Chavez is in line to manage the Halos and that Scioscia returning isn't a lock.

    B) Doubtful. Trout is a ghost, especially if Philly strikes out this winter. Players' assoc. will be pressuring him to take the best offer to set the bar, but MLB itself could find itself pressuring him to move back east to give him more of a platform. Being that he's from Jersey, Phillies or Yankees, and I don't think any of these entities will have to pull too hard to get him to move back east.

    Actually they are. It's not nice to state such in polite company of idiots but what would the straws of life stir if there were no blithering masses?

    Yin and yang. But that's a hell of a question.
