blah, blah, blah. Just like how you "freaking loved" Erstad, I can never take your opinion seriously on ex or current Angel players. Sorry.
Well to be fair, I long thought Erstad was one of the most "overrated players in baseball" (you can ask any of my friends such0. However, for a million bucks I felt it was a worthwhile move. I was not behind the Erstad for Singleton/etc deal because at the time Ersty was horribly over-rated. But as a CFer he did a lot of solid things and in general was a smart baseball player (just not a 10M a year player which the Angels were paying him). Call me crazy but as someone who played baseball into high school I have an extreme appreciation for those guys that play the game right (smart base-running, fundementally sound players).
