He'd be seen as a perfect fit. @ 7: Their starting staff is very good, but beyond that their team is a bunch of question marks. Their bullpen is iffy (although I do like Arredondo as well), their lineup is weakened and their defense (infield and outfield) is awful. They are very one dimensional at this point. @ 6: If Bavasi were still here, I’d guarantee an Anderson signing. He’d be seen as a perfect fit.

All the M's need to do is sign that power bat and make some moves for either a new SS or 2B and we might be in business after all. But don't get your hopes up because the Angels have their pitching still with Lackey, Santana, Weaver and Saunders. Also their new CL Jose Arredondo looks like a young K-Rod (10-2 1.62 ERA in '08).

He probably signed him 15 years ago. I am grateful we do not have to worry about Mr JZ doing something so foolish.

No one to protect him (Hunter will bat in front of him). That’s about all they’ve got, though. No one to protect him (Hunter will bat in front of him).

He's a league average hitter at best but will get paid a few million. After all those years of being underrated, he's now one of the most overrated players on the market. I'm not saying they don't need a lefty bat, but Anderson isn't <i>that guy</i> anymore. Losing Anderson wouldn’t hurt anyone. He’s a league average hitter at best but will get paid a few million.

“”Manny Ramirez will not play for the Angels in 2009, or beyond, for that matter.”

Letting Anderson’s LH bat go will hurt them more than they think. Even a “healthy” GMjr offers no protection for Vlad.
