I didn't even think about the inter-division aspect of Cordero going fromm the Brewers to the Reds. Yeah, that's always awesome.
Hopefully we can do the same, and maybe pick up... maybe... Ichiro... or... Haren... or... *thinks of a valuable Ranger*... or Ichiro.

"It's been pretty good to me over the years," Hunter said of Angel Stadium. "It's the energy, playing outside, on that good grass [as opposed to Minnesota's artificial turf]. Fans show up. It's loud, electrifying. If you can't get pumped up to play in Anaheim, you need to get your mind evaluated.
"I've been stomping up and down with my family. Little Torii Jr., [one of his three children], is ready with his Angel gear.
"These guys really showed me they're trying to win. Anaheim, you know, they're going to try to win every year. I've always admired the way they play."
sounds like he'll be inspired to play next year
inspired? after a contract year? keep dreaming

If there's one man I'm willing to bet is the bust of this FA class, it's Francisco Cordero...Coco can be great, but the dude's mind is all overthe place.

[h3]Hunter Signing Won't Stop Rolling Angels[/h3]
UPDATE: Some added info from yesterday's Miami Herald. It sounds like the Angels are willing to part with Reggie Willits, Howie Kendrick, and a catcher. Not a bad haul. However the Marlins are apparently insisting on the inclusion of top pitching prospect Nick Adenhart as well.
i dont wanna give up HK47

Nah, that was Frankie Francisco...When Coco was in Arlington, he was known for being lights out in the 9th for a stretch, then out of nowhere going ona 2-3 week binge where he can't get anyone out. He had a big year last year, but I just don't know if I'm convinced he can sustain that level foran extended period of time. Seems like the type dude that'll get his money and become content. Maybe he's changed since his days in Arlington, though.

True story.
I like him, too.
Overpaid, definitely, but at least he's productive.

... Well... Umm...You guys just traded Cabrera, maybe Michael Young could fill the void? You can have him for abag of rocks.
Least we've finally got some serious talent on the farm...

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm a HUGE Michael Young fan, but he's getting older, he's sub-par defensively and he's making 17+ mila year...The Rangers aren't going to be in a position to compete again for another 2-3 years, so why hang on to guys like Young that will be on a fairlysteady decline when the team should be on the way up? He's a great player, and he's the face of the franchise, but the Rangers have some talent in themiddle infield coming up, and the value for Michael probably won't be higher than it is now. If he gets off to a big start in 2008, I wouldn't besurprised at all to see him moved at the deadline...Originally Posted by 27th4theHood

And for the record, I can't stand anyone on this team right now other than Young, Hank Blalock, Brandon McCarthy, Edinson Volquez, CJ Wilson, JoaquinBenoit, Saltalamacchia and Ian Kinsler. The whole OF sucks, we've only got 3-4 competent pitchers, and none of the young talent is really ready for thebigs. Two years from now, alot of those young guys will be ready for the bigs, and I'll be alot more fond of them than the bunch of bums we've gotright now.

I hope the Mets forget about going after Santana...MINNY would probably want the whole farm, and then you would have to sign him to a huge contract of$20M/per.
I would get the most cost efficient alternative in Haren (A's)......I know their GM has always been interested in Milledge, and I'm sure they wouldaccept a package of Milledge + Heilman + any other pitching prospect we have (ie. Pelfrey, Humber, etc).
Plus, I know Haren's contract is around 3 yrs/16.5 mil.
Again, thats just my opinion as to what I would do if I were the Mets GM.

Yankees and Twins talking about Santana trade
[/td] [/tr][tr][td][/td] [/tr][/table]By RONALD BLUM, AP Baseball Writer

NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Yankees and Minnesota Twins have started trade talks involving Johan Santana.
Yankees senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner said Monday that discussions are ongoing but it was too early to tell whether they would lead to a deal. Hedid not detail how far talks had progressed.
[table][tr][td] [table][tr][td][size=-2]ADVERTISEMENT[/size]
[/td] [/tr][/table]
[/td] [/tr][/table]"I don't want to get into that at this point, as far as what they want, what we're willing to give and all that," he said."It's preliminary right now."
Santana is eligible for free agency after the 2008 season, and the Twins have been trying to sign the two-time AL Cy Young Award winner to an extension.
Asked whether the Twins had said they would consider a trade, Steinbrenner responded: "Oh, yeah."
The New York Mets, Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers also are thought to be interested in Santana, who is farbetter than any of the starting pitchers available on the free-agent market.
Santana's agent, Peter Greenberg, has not spoken publicly about his talks with the Twins, who last week lost free-agent center fielder Torii Hunter to the Los Angeles Angels.
Santana, a left-hander who turns 29 in March, has a 93-44 record with a 3.22 ERA in eight major league seasons and is owed $13.25 million next year.Minnesota would want top prospects in any deal and while Steinbrenner previously said he wouldn't trade some of the Yankees' top young pitchers forthird baseman Miguel Cabrera, he didn't rule out a deal for apitcher.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said he has received repeated inquiries from teams about Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain and Ian Kennedy.
Santana has a no-trade provision in his contract, and a team acquiring him likely would want to discuss an extension. That means if the teams agreed to atrade, there probably would be a 72-hour window to work out a new contract.
After reaching agreements to re-sign Alex Rodriguez, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and Jose Molina -- deals that are awaiting completion -- Steinbrenner said theYankees have turned their attention to relievers. Cashman has said the team hopes to keep Luis Vizcaino.
"Obviously, I think the big thing for us now is shoring up the bullpen all that we can," Steinbrenner said. "Brian is looking into severaldifferent things."
Steinbrenner said Rodriguez likely will take a physical this week.
