Maybe dodged a terrible contract

Correct but there were several people on here that wanted him so I added him to that list.

I wasn’t suggesting that people were wrong to want him, but that it’s wrong to suggest the Angels were to blame for not getting him.

Would you say the same is true about Cole and Trea Turner if Arte was able to convince Perry to go that direction?

It seems like both of those guys also had pretty strong personal reasons for ending up where they did. 
 

Obviously we never can know for sure.

Agreed, not debating the likelihood of ever adding him, just that it was a pitcher several members of this forum wanted.

But thankfully, it's a wash - we didn't miss out on:

 

Pujols

Moo Vaugh

Josh Hamilton

Gary Mathews Jr

Vernon Wells

Anthony Rendon

Wells wasn't a FA signing. 

The Mets paid most of Vaughn's $80M contract. We dumped him after 3 years.

And insurance paid his last two years in Anaheim -- they made out pretty well save for the money paid to make Appier go away.

Every time I see the title of this thread...

I want to sing... MAYBE get a blister on your little finger. MAYBE get a blister on your thumb.

That's Angels World Series Champion Kevin Appier, pal.
