The Angels 2028 projected lineup is out, and it sparks some serious debate. Mike Trout as DH at 36? Is that a realistic projection of his longevity and value, or are we setting ourselves up for disappointment? Also, Nelson Rada already penciled in as the starting center fielder in 2028? Bold prediction, considering he's not even in the majors yet. What kind of pressure does this put on a young prospect? Does it help or hinder development? Weigh in, Fast Ball Talks! Looking even further down the line, Caden Dana as the Angels number two starter by 24? Is this wishful thinking, or does he truly have that kind of ceiling? Let's talk about the Angels farm system overall. Is it strong enough to support these projections, or are there glaring weaknesses that need addressing? Finally, a quick one for the stat heads: Best Fastball: Chris Cortez, Best Curveball: George Klassen, Best Changeup: Ryan Costeiu...but who has the best overall pitch repertoire in the system? This is more than just individual tools – it's about how they all work together. Let the discussions begin!
