Well the Angels are still picking up the tab because of it.

Not one person here doesn't know that

Just think, if we would have held on to those guys, we could have these guys in a loaded lineup behind them:

Aybar      .150

Grichuk   .196

Napoli     .158

Morales   .224

Joyce      .158

Or Fernando Rodney closing with his 8.53 ERA

Weaver actually is doing OK. Had a nice game in Colorado too.

Oh and going back in time, if pigheaded Arte would've just given Torii Hunter a one year qualifying offer we would've avoided the entire Josh Hamilton experience. $125M could've brought in a couple of good arms. 

So the guys that signed Hamilton would some how now be able to sign the right pitchers

In 17ip, he's given up 9 runs (8 earned) on 5 Hrs

Yes. That's a 4.24 era and only a 1.050 whip. That qualifies as at least OK in my book when many here were laughing at the idea of him trying to compete still.

He has been ok, but there is no way in hell his whip will be anywhere near 1.050 if he pitches a complete season.

He gave up 37 HRs last year and is on pace this year to give up 50 if he pitches the same amount of innings. 

most veteran pitchers can "compete", but that doesn't mean they'll be very good.

Here's one for you ladies and gentlemen...

who remembers Darren O'Day? Heck if I know why he was shipped out after a year here, and it's too late for me to look it up...but he has pitched in 499 games as of today and has a lifetime era of 2.47 and a whip of 1.03..

and just for giggles, trumbo was the third baseman the night weaver threw his no-no.

The Bandy Man hit #4 tonight.  3rd straight game with a HR.

Arte should petition to move the team to a NL Central location

That one hurts the most because it was so recent. Angels catchers have zero

[Stradling]

I still like Maldonado. 

[totdprods]

Haven't seen any Brewer games, but looks like Bandy's struggling defensively as much as he is succeeding offensively. Passed balls, errors, runners stealing...

He was red hot with the bat last year the first time around the league and really nose-dived there at the end. I still think he's got a nice career ahead of him, but I'm not ready to think he's Napoli's Heir.

Could end up being the best catching acquisition since Boonie in 1981.
