Worry, Woe, and Rest of Season Projections
Posted by Drew Fairservice under Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers, News And Notes, Projections, Toronto Blue Jays on May 09, 2013
If you are a fan of the Toronto Blue Jays, Los Angeles Angels, or Los Angeles Dodgers, holding onto belief that your team still has time to make an impact in the playoff races, you don’t care much for projection systems and playoff odds. Cold arithmetic isn’t going to heal your wounded heart, nor will it temper your excitement should your chosen franchise string together a few wins, infusing said heart with valuable hope.
If you aren’t a fan of one of those teams, you can look at Fangraphs new projected standings/depth charts feature and laugh until your sides hurt. Because, according to “the numbers”, it’s all over but the crying.

The Week That Was
I’m instituting a bit of a change in protocol here, as I feel that it might be wiser to look at what the two teams have done since we last spoke, rather than posting the overall records that I’ve been redundantly typing into the “AL & NL West Standing Update” section below. Like I said when we started this epic journey, we’ll hone this thing as we go.

Jered Weaver Out 4-6 Weeks With Broken (Non Throwing) Elbow
Posted by Drew Fairservice under Jered Weaver, Los Angeles Angels, News And Notes on Apr 09, 2013
Well this just isn’t good news for the Angels. Already running with a very thin starting rotation, it looks as though the Angels will be without their ace for some time. Ken Rosenthal reports Weaver is out for close to a month with a broken left elbow. The lanky righty injured his arm pitching against the Rangers on the weekend after a line drive back through the box forced an awkward fall.
With Weaver out, the Angels turn to…I dunno, honestly. They called up Dane De La Rosa from Triple-A but will he start? The rest of the LAA depth chart is a little grim. Jerome Williams? Garrett Richards? Roy Oswalt, pick up that phone! Things aren’t so bad for the Angels but, as mentioned in today’s Battle of LA, digging out of deep hole doomed the Angels in 2012. Without their ace, it looks a lot like they will be in the same situation again in 2013.
