November 25, 200817 yr LA Times Im guessing he signs with LA. He's from Cali and the Angels are the closest to being a World Series type team in California. He will likely get Johan Santana type money which makes sense... A rotation of: Sabathia, Lackey, Santana, Saunders and Weaver would be sick!
November 25, 200817 yr That rotation would be sick, but I'd assume that leaves very little money to resign that fairly important 1b bat and that moderately important closer they have.

Yea.. im guessing K-Rod goes to the Mets and Texiera signs something ridiculous with the Nats. Who knows how they will fill those holes.. probably through trades....

Well, I could imagine they'd probably wind up going with Morales at 1b...but then, aside from Guerrero, that's not a very strong lineup, especially come playoff time. Hunter, Vlad, Matthews Jr., Rivera, Morales, Kendrick, Mathis/Napoli, Figgins, Aybar/Wood. They're right back to lacking power.

This is assuming they don't make a trade. No idea what they would do at first base, maybe use Morales I suppose.
November 25, 200817 yr I got news for you...the Angels could probably afford both Tex and Sabathia. They'll jump on Sabathia and than see what ends up going on with Tex and decide whether they'll get him or not.

Him, Lackey, Santana, Saunders and Weaver, that is the best 1-5 rotation in baseball. They get an Ace with CC and then have three #2s with Lackey, Santana and Saunders. And Weaver is going to continue to get better. Plus, they always have a solid farm system.

Okay i just woke up from my dream
