At home now, and checked -- the Angels' pythagorean record is 33-21. So we're still 8 games behind them by that measure, too; the actual scoring and prevention of opponent scoring both need to improve drastically if this season isn't going to be a huge bust. At any rate, I've submitted a Greinke for Garver offer to the Twins; not seeing much downside here, in the short or long terms.

EDIT: Trade went through... and fans are mad. Holy crap,we lost an entire market size and fan loyalty rating from that!

DOUBLE EDIT: Since I didn't need Maldonado anymore, was able to trade him for Danny Santana, solving my DH problems. So, overall, I shipped out Greinke and Maldonado for Garver and Santana, promoted Armenteros to fill up the rotation slot, and demoted Gurriel to AAA (and plan to non-tender him in the offseason, since he's in arbitration)... seems like a pretty big overall improvement in roster quality, even if the fans are unhappy.
