The results of the last poll … Should the Angels trade their top prospects for a "big bat"?

• Yes, whatever it takes 19%

There were 140 votes cast.

I have to admit, I’m a bit stunned by these numbers. If you read the "fan" boards, all they ever seem to do is demand instant gratification and Stoneman’s immediate dismissal. These numbers seem to suggest that those boards don’t reflect anywhere near majority sentiment. Another possibility is that FutureAngels.com attracts a more patient audience, one who understands the importance of protecting the value of minor league prospects.

In honor of this week’s amateur draft … Who is the Angels’ best #1 pick of all time?

Not all these guys were first-round picks. John Lackey, for example, was chosen in the 2nd round of the June 1999 draft. The Angels lost their 1st round pick as compensation for signing Mo Vaughn. So Lackey was their “#1” pick that year, but not a first-round pick.
