How much? And for how long? (Click on the photo to see how much the Angels have spent on pitching in recent years.) The Angels have to... Los Angeles Angels - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/1047170/read-my-lips-no-new-freeagents.html The void that will be created with the departures of John Lackey, Chone Figgins, Darren Oliver, and Vladimir Guerrero will be felt long after they sign new contracts with their new teams. Lackey is a true number one Ace, Figgins is a true lead off hitter and has great defensive skills, Oliver isn't only a lefty specialist, and Vladimir was the face of the franchise. But like Tony Reagins said on The Drive yesterday, you have to take the emotion out of the business decisions. We Will Win, With What We Got or Lightning Strikes Twice. Last year the Halosphere was bent because Mark Teixeira took his U-Haul to New York for a big payday.  Some of the Fan Faithful believed in the unproven Kendry Morales.  And that investment paid in dividends.  Could Brandon Wood produce similarly to Morales?  Wood has nothing left to prove in minors.  Given an opportunity of having regular at bats and every day play, perhaps he could put together a good season.  And if his defense isn't as great as we were once led to believe or his offense never gets started, he can always be platooned with super-utility player Maicer Izturis. What about Sean O'Sullivan, given a chance to shine could he become the John Lackey of 2002?  And with a rotation of Weaver, Santana, Saunders, Kazmir, couldn't the Angels survive with a pitcher like O'Sullivan or Matt Palmer, Trevor Bell, Dustin Moseley or maybe even Anthony Ortega?  Those 5 guys gave us 22 wins last year.  With Vladimir Guerrero gone, our Designated Hitter position becomes a platoon position.  It allows Bobby Abreu to take a day or two off, from the field.  Giving playing time to Gary Matthews Jr. or Reggie Willits.  And when days Abreu is in the outfield, Napoli could share time at DH keeping his bat in the line up, which when hot is a nice bat to have. But why scrimp in save in 2010? According to MLBTradeRumors, 2011 will see nearly 30 pitchers who will be available to file for Free Agency.  Some of the names available in 2011 will be Josh Beckett, Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, and Ted Lilly.  Let alone All-Star catcher Joe Mauer and Albert Pujols.  What better way to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim's existence than to break the bank for a Lee or Halladay and a Mauer or a Pujols.  The Angels can Win With What We Got.

Los Angeles Angels - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/1039060/shore-up-pen.html Alright, so I know most of the discussion so far about the offseason has involved our free agents (John Lackey, Chone Figgins, Vladimir Guerrero, and Darren Oliver), big hitting free agents (Jason Bay & Matt Holliday), and trades (anyone remember a discussion about Curtis Granderson?), but there has not been much discussion about other free agents on the market which could really help our team. What REALLY concerns me is the bullpen. It was torture last year.   Outside of Oliver and Matt Palmer, we had no real standouts. I believe Kevin Jepsen will one day develop into a great reliever, but he’s not a finished product yet. Jason Bulger remains a mystery, Jose Arredondo’s magic of 2008 disappeared, and Brian Fuentes was far from perfect (7 blown saves during the season and 1 in the ALCS). While Fuentes is a decent closer, he’s really not the guy I want on the mound when the game is on the line. What the Angels had in Scot Shields and Francisco Rodriguez the previous few years was golden, shortening the game to 7-innings. Our greatest weakness this season was our bullpen.  We need to bring it back to the strength it was in the past.  Looking over the relievers out on the free agent market, these are the ones who seem to have some value: Right Handers:  Fernando Rodney, Rafael Soriano, Jose Valverde, Rafael Betancourt, Kiko Calero, LeTroy Hawkins, Brandon Lyon Left Handers: Mike Gonzales & Scott Eyre Here’s MLB.coms list First, I’m glad Scot Shields will be back next season and hopefully he’ll be hungry to go out there and be his dominant self again.  Darren Oliver will hopefully re-up with us again. Assuming we get those two back, who else should we go after? My first choice is Rafael Soriano, and one writer is already predicting we’ll land him. Throws hard and strikes a lot of guys out (oddly, I remember him most for getting hit in the head by a line drive off Vlad’s bat in 2006). Kiko Calero put up good numbers last year and seems to be a bit under-the-radar, so he probably could be had pretty cheap. Wouldn’t be a bad addition in my opinion. Mike Gonzalez also intrigues me, I just don’t know how I’d feel about him joining the team. Great strikeout guy, but wild and blew 7 saves last year as well (not to mention he’s injury prone). Some off-the-radar guy like Escobar for the pen on the cheap? So what do you guys think? How do we shore up the pen? Poll If you could have one reliever, who do you choose? Fernando Rodney Rafael Soriano Jose Valverde Rafael Betancourt Kiko Calero LeTroy Hawkins Brandon Lyon Mike Gonzalez Scott Eyre None of the above Other (see comments below)   22 votes | Results Los Angeles Angels - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/1039059/justin-speier-this-day-in-angels-blogging-history.html More photos » by Chris Carlson - AP 3 months ago: Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Justin Speier, right, reacts after giving up a solo home run to Texas Rangers' Taylor Teagarden during the fifth inning of a baseball game in Anaheim, Calif., Friday, Aug. 7, 2009. (AP Photo/Chris Carlson) Browse more photos » November 19, 2006, 3 years ago today, the Angels signed former Toronto Blue Jay pitcher Justin Speier as a free agent. It was a Bill Stoneman signing. The 4-year deal (yes we will be paying him next season) was a precursor to trading Scot Shields and a prospect to the Atlanta Braves for Andruw Jones - whoops wait a minute, was that my analysis? Oh dear. And then in the comments, Welch says "no way" in the comments and I say "way" and am actually persuasive about it. Funny thing - nobody in the comments was upset about this signing, especially relative to the vitriol that Speier managed to "just inspire" among Angels fans.
