My first reaction too.

Dude came up with some big hits in big moments during his time with the Angels.

Here's hoping that he can pass on some of his "clutchness" to these guys.

I use Britney because of how popular she was in Wooten's hay day.

I loved when he came up to bat and the crowd would call that out. Wooooot!!

I couldn't stand him as a player, because Fullmer was obviously better and they rarely played them both at the same time.

Looking at Fullmer's numbers in 2002, it's crazy to think of a guy they brought in on a one year deal, basically being a part time player (he started 94 games at DH and 27 at 1B in 2002, and then 41 and 19 in 2003 due to injuries) and he was putting up an .887 and .888 OPS.

LOL, that type of part time production now would be amazing.

Hope he's a better coach than he was a player.

Yeah...amazing...until you get tested and suspended. Something tells me at least Woot was doing what he was doing, without chemical assistance.

Having a career .711 OPS? There is no evidence that either player had chemical assistance, without a failed test.

Didn't Wooten post on here a couple times under the old board. He was a solid bat off the bench during the 2002 world series run. His OPS was 1100 in that post season.
