Fuentes,Shields & Putz would be outstanding...
Putz power pitching is more condusive to the 9th inning situations,sometimes needing a k....
Fuentes & Shields set up & give the halos many options w/ their versatile arms...
The pen would get longer w/ these 3 guys...
No disrespect to Fuentes,he did a good job...I just think a power arm like Smith,Percy,K-Rod i.e

The Angels enter the off season with $50 million in expiring contracts. The club, roughly, had a payroll of $114M in 2009. I will give my suggestions on what the team needs to do as they prepare for 2010. Note: Age in parenthesis, money they made in 2009.

I'm glad they signed Abreu. Now we need to re-sign John Lackey. I do not care what the cost is, Keep in mind that John Lackey has been our bull dog since 2002. He is a clutch pitcher and we need to show him some loyalty. Boras is not his agent, so I think if they brought him in expressed how much he means to us and get a deal don

Well it only took one world series game to see what the Angels could have had if they weren't so afraid and cheap. Lee was one of the available aces that they could have pick up. lee and lackey would have been a one two punch that would have beat the Yanks. Well of cost they pass on him and now we are alll watching the series. learn your le

Yes, we didn't go all the way, but I am still very proud of how well this team did this season. After the start to the season, this team could have just quit and stopped trying for the rest of the year. But they were on a mission to win the division, and hopefully win the world series. Well, they won the division, beat the Red Sox (somethin

Every website I go to, the Angels salary for 2009 is $118mil. Now this does not count the $10mil that was owed to Escobar. Since he was on the DL, did he still get this amount? As far I see it, the seven free agent Angels made over $50mil before bonuses. Thats $50mil to play with in the free agent market. Yes,

What a double play turned by Erick Aybar in last night's game! With his back to the infield he takes the feed from Izturis, spins around and throws a strike to Kendry Morales for the double play. It's one of the best double plays I've seen. Thi

I think I was more prepared to pitch tonight than Scott Kazmir. If I was at that game, I would have most likely unbolted my seat and thrown it on the field.
This Angels team that I have watched over the past several years reminds a lot of the

As the ALDS showed us past results aren't a true indicator of future performance. That being said the Angels, certainly, enter their ALCS showdown versus the Yankees with a lot of confidence - not to mention a decade long period of on field dominance against the Bronx Bombers. Due to

Just gotta love GMJ and his sensitive manner of handling his poor performance the last three years while raking in $30M.

I love Scioscia and hope he manages the Angels for as long as he can, but this series was not his best moments as a manager. Many decisions that were so out of character for him.
