Winter Meetings Thoughts...

-The Mets may have the best bullpen in the league next year. As an Angel fan I always thought he was overrated, but now with him and Putz the Metropolitans will only really be playing 7 inning games this season.

-The Yankess overpaid for Burnett, but they still got a solid #2 starter, which will go well with Sabathia. They'll be tough, but not invincible. Sabathia is back in the American Leage, Burnett is injury prone, Joba is overrated, and Mussina is gone. I predict the Yankess will have zero starting pitchers in the All-Star game next year.

-The A's think they want to compete next season. Is Holliday the answer? I love the guy, but they're still the A's.

-I can't wait to post a message to TheRiot when the Halos make a better offer to the Pads then the Cubs. Its only a short commute from Peavy's new home in Southern California to Angel Stadium...

-Rumor has it that the Angels made Teixeira a 7-year $160 million deal. Thats the same amount of years the Red Sox offered, but $10 million more total. As of today, the offer from the Angels has been bumped up to 8 years. Kinda thinkin he might stick around in Anaheim...

-With the Yanks throwing money all over the place, it would make sense for the Red Sox to spend a retarded amount of money on something they don't need. Kinda makes me nevevous, to be honest.

-No one is offering Manny much. They must all be worried that he's going to beat up the manager and quit running out ground balls...I love it.

How could I forget? I'm sure you all have been dying to hear...

The Angels have re-signed Robb Quinlan. I know, I know, what a relief.

Ty Wigginton to the Twins would be a solid pickup I think.

totally agree on wigginton. give him five or six million. i hate the idea of delmon's fat ass patroling left field everyday again with all of those strikeouts, but its too early in his career to be shopping him the way they have been.

although, i you are giving five or six to wigginton, why not nomar for similar dollars?
