David Robertson

I’ve figured he gets around $8-12m AAV, 2-3 years. 

[Fish Oil]

Well, Britton was coming on stronger as the season progressed. Maybe he is a candidate for a one year contract to reestablish value as a closer?

[Docwaukee]

the main reason I want the Angels to sign a closer is so I can create a thread titled 'I can't believe it's not Buttrey'

If claude still makes signs for players he likes, and names his seat section after them, id like to see him name his row "the butthole". His seats are by the barry bonds tunnel, arent they?

Claude?  Never heard of him.

It seems as though whenever we start threads speculating the Angels to sign a particular player, they sign another player that is off our radar.

Hahahaha, yeah, its me.....I'm gonna miss the old man! 

I did a little dedication to him on Christmas eve on the golf course. Keith let me use his clubs. 

We sat around talking about stories in the Cafeteria at the stadium and conversations with Langston, Gubbi, Salmon and Clyde of course. 

I might be coming out your way in January maybe we can get together.

Robertson, Ottavino, or Britton all make sense. Wonder when the relief market is going to get cooking.

[bloodbrother]

Signed with the Phillies

 

[Lou]

while he would have been a great addition, I could never see us paying him 2/23.

it just doesnt seem to be an Eppler move.

Not sure there are many, if any, Eppler moves left in this market...

alas, true.  WE have such a young group out there we are screaming for this kind of guy to help them develop but he was never going to pay that

[The_Outrunner]

Maybe we try and snag Ottavino or someone a little cheaper perhaps

I don't think he would have signed here for that. 

I have no inside information, but the fact that it got leaked to the media made me think he didn't want to be here. I think his camp leaked it to get an offer from a team in the Northeast. It worked.

Perhaps, maybe likely, but i would hope Eppler was smart enough not to get drawn into talks where he didnt really have a chance.
