I still don't know if (being an Angels gm) would really be interested in him. Outfield s set with Rivera, Hunter, Abreu. They should be concentrating on moving Mathews Jr. for Bradley. Those contracts match up just too well. Yes, I realize Mathews' glove was bad last year, but it's better than bradley never playing and causing problems. Mathews gets his starting spot/ angels get rid of a problem/ Bradley gets away from chicago/ can DH/ chicago can exhale. With a little money freed up from the departure of Lackey the Angels can concentrate on a package to acquire Halladay. Reckling, Wood, Congo and Bourjos would be a nice haul for the Jays. The only issue is could Izturis, Sandoval, Aybar hold down ss/3b without Figgins?Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18000348030282582336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617281302009962070.post-39161306035787962942009-11-15T15:46:37.215-08:002009-11-15T15:46:37.215-08:00This all depends on one thing: Chone Figgins.
If ...This all depends on one thing: Chone Figgins.<br /><br />If they lock him up, a guy like Brandon Wood is much more expendable compared to an Angels roster without Figgins. <br /><br />I don't think that they want to trade Aybar, and I look at Wood as the odd man out on that roster.<br /><br />I still don't think that Granderson will garner the attention that many people think. He may have been donned a star, but he isn't. A guy who can't hit lefties, and seemed to have KEY defensive miscues at the end of the year isn't a star.<br /><br />I think that the rotation is more of a question than anything for them. Assuming they don't resign Lackey, they have Weaver, but behind that, Kazmir was inconsistent early, Santana was injured and also inconsistent. Saunders garnered a 5.17 FIP, which is by no means very attractive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18301590834999254670noreply@blogger.com
