The important thing to remember is this: the Angels were supposed to be contenders all along. They had just spent one gajillion dollars to acquire last year’s RBI leader Anthony Rendon, adding him to a lineup which already consisted of a Japanese two-way sensation, a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer, the David Eckstein Memorial Peskiest Hitter in baseball, a two-way threat shortstop, and the literal Best Player in Baseball, 2013 - present. Pitching, who needs pitching with such a lineup, but the Angels went ahead and acquired Dylan Bundy anyway, a good, safe choice, if not Gerrit Cole-level exciting.
