The Return Of Angels Kremlinology
Almost didn't notice this one, but now we've got Bobby Abreu, Jered Weaver, and Torii Hunter as the Faces of the Franchise.
Update: Season tickets:
Torii Hunter, Hideki Matsui, Erick Aybar, Bobby Abreu, and Scott Kazmir. Kazmir over Weaver seems like an odd choice.

The End Of Angels Kremlinology? Number 8 (And Last?) In A Series
The Rev says all the site banners have ditched players. Gah. The Rev also had a bit of a look at the same kind of kremlinology vis-a-vis season ticket images.
BTW, the new site design sure has a big, wide, long home page. Update: Too long. Too wide: it appears they want you to fullscreen your browser when visiting MLB.com, and no thanks to that. Pretty sure I don't like this. The good news is that they seem to have fixed a longstanding bug in the presentation of dropdowns that may cover Flash video; before, the dropdowns would end up being hidden under the video, making them effectively useless. Of course, the bad news is there's a lot more video up there.
Thanks to Rob Spencer for letting me know.

Angels Kremlinology #7
Dated 11/19/2007, the day the Orlando Cabrera trade was announced; it replaces the banner dated 5/16/2007. Cabrera was obviously the player removed from the banner, replaced by Jered Weaver. K-Rod moves from fourth to second, and Lackey remains in the center.
Since we got our Angels season tickets today, I thought it would be interesting to see who management put on the cover of that document this year:
Vlad, John Lackey, Chone Figgins, and Mike Napoli? Good. Gary Matthews, Jr.? Meh. Robb Quinlan and Erick Aybar? Uh... no.

Angels Kremlinology #6
Dated 5/16/07; virtually identical to the one dated 4/2/07, save for the substitution of Orlando Cabrera for Howie Kendrick, the latter being then on the DL.

And this month, the People's Heroes are Brad Penny, Andre Ethier, Rafael Furcal (boo), Russ Martin (yay), and Takashi Saito (how can you not cheer for him?).

More Angels Kremlinology
Changed yesterday at 2:45 PM and I didn't notice it until just now. This time, we have Adam Kennedy booted for Orlando Cabrera.
Update: Or is that Juan Rivera? Please tell me it's not Juan Rivera just because he had a good night.

Angels Kremlinology: Lackey Replaces Erstad
Maybe I'm just slow on the uptake, but the masthead banner on the Angels website — updated 5/12/06 2:38:05 PDT — is minus Darin Erstad and plus John Lackey. (Update: And minus Bartolo Colón and plus Adam Kennedy.) The People's Heroes change so quick around here it's simply mind-boggling! At least they're picking guys who are mostly getting the job done.
