   Daniel Hudson non-tendered

   There's a ton of talent available out there, specifically relief pitching talent. We can all speculate which players Dipoto should pick up, but this one actually makes a ton of sense. Angels need pitching depth, Hudson wouldn't cost much at all, he's one of Dipoto's former prospects/players that he brought in during his tenure as Arizona's AGM. Does anyone else see Dipoto making this move and actually really supporting it?

    There are certain players, like C.J. Wilson, who I hated before their Angel tenure but started liking them when they joined the Angels. There are others, though, who I don't think I could ever tolerate, even in Angel red, such as A.J. Pierzynski, A-Rod, and Dustin Pedroia. Who are some of yours? In before Pujols and Hamilton are mentioned.

    The Angels trim almost $10 million from next season's payroll after passing on Williams, Tommy Hanson, Juan Gutierrez and Chris Nelson. The Angels declined to extend 2014 contracts to pitchers Jerome Williams, Tommy Hanson and Juan Gutierrez and third baseman Chris Nelson on Monday, moves that trim almost $10 million from next season's payroll and give the team more flexibility to pursue higher quality starting pitchers via trade or free agency.

    That Kendrick for Lee and Withrow deal looks awfully good right now. This could be the one (non) move that ruins the offseason. So thanks again, for committing your 3rd huge mistake in the last 2 years. Stay out of it. Not that I trust Dipoto much more but Arte needs to back way off. If Williams or Blanton are anywhere near the #5 spot in the rotation I'm going to puke.

    Notes on the Joe Smith Press Conference

    • 1.2k views

    Here are some of my notes from today's press conference with Joe Smith and Jerry Dipoto: Joe Smith is happy to be here. His girlfriend works out here. The biggest factor for him signing with the Angels was the inclusion of a third year and the chance to play near his girlfriend. Jerry Dipoto targeted him early and made an early offer. Other teams were interested, but the Angels were made solid offers early on that made the decision easier. For Dipoto, getting Smith, who throws side-arm was an important factor to give the bullpen a different look. Smith throws 89-92, which Dipoto believes will pair up well with the young power arms in the pen. Dipoto is not…

    With two starting pitchers still needed, and a payroll that's already dangerously close to the luxury-tax threshold, Monday's non-tender deadline is far more than a formality for the Angels. It's an opportunity to add about $10 million to their budget. View the full article

    Streaky hitter but when he's on he's on. He's got some pop and his contract is extremely reasonable. I understand you gotta give up value to get something of value back but I think Kendrick's play would be sorely missed. Maybe the Angels should just tender Jerome and run Hanson and Blanton out there. If not for the slow start the Angels would've been a contender for a wc spot and then anything is possible.
