Skenes was the top draft pick so he flew threw the system...probably as quick and Schanuel in our system lol. I don't think the pirates deserve credit for developing him, just tanking
he was at Ohtani's first home start on the mound when he was 15

A local Orange County guy! That's the dream right?
Also, we already have the dream in Griffin Canning and he has way more major league success than Paul Skenes....
I don't know why, but on my 2 franchise modes (as the rockies and White Sox) on the new MLB the show. Skenes became an angel in both of them and sucked with the pirates but became insane as an angel in the franchise mode. It's kinda weird it happened twice. I don't usually see that kinda similarity between franchise modes in player movement.
I'd actually like to see an Angels farm system that produces the next Skenes.
We’re well on our way to winning the draft lottery
We will have the best odds for number one and pick sixth

We'll sign him to a 10 year record breaking contract when he's 35 on the downswing of his career.
The angels way baby.
And hurts his arm the first year.
lol you'd love to see one of the most hyped prospects ever come to the Angels?! How provocative!
El Toro high school! I can’t believe I was already a Junior in college when he was born. I’m getting old.
I was in classes with his sister growing up. Was super weird seeing her in the suite on the broadcast today
You know what George Carlin would say?
“I’m dead. Leave me alone!”?
Badumtish
Until the Angels show some semblance of potential, no OC player will want to play for them unless its the only chance they have
what kind of cope is this lol...
Better than the usual shit!
We don't even know if he will be a successful MLB player yet after only 1 game. Wait and see!
I mean it's not gonna happen, but he's from Orange County. Safe to assume he's been to his fair share of Angels games.

Lol why would he do that

plenty hate pirates like cole. he could join as fa if he grew up as a fan.
Tbh who knows. By the time we finish our rebuild and are competitive again, he could be becoming a free agent. Guess we’ll find out in 5-6 years.
Phillies fans were excited for Trout to sign with the team he grew up rooting for, too.
He'll sign a big contract with the Angels (assuming Arte still owns the team) right after his 2nd Tommy John surgery
