Robinson Cano

[Glen]

For the first five takers, I have a $20 bet that he won't be on the Angels next year.  Put your money where your keyboards are, suckers.  In case you're horrible at math that means I'm putting $100 of my hard-earned (shuddup) money on the line because I know Cano won't be an Angel.  Now is the chance for all of you who are sure Arte will bring Cano here, to make an easy $20.

 

Who is gonna step up?

Talk about a sucker bet.  If it was 20-1 odds, you might get takers.

Quiet, you.  I'm trying to make an easy $100.

[Angel Oracle]

LOL, no way I take that bet.

That being said, I wouldn't totally put it past Arte Moreno.    It would be just as stupid as the other two signings, though.   The Skanks or Raviners figure to save us anyway.

I don't think there's anyway Cano becomes an Angel. Arte can't  be THAT dumb to sign Cano and not give Trout a well deserved extension, can he?

[Justabitoutside]

I think Arte and company might have learned their lesson. At least I hope so.

I am not taking any bets, but I doubt seriously that Arte will shell out the type of dollar it will take to sign Cano. Although he has the type of age and mileage that the Angels like, and the fact that he produced excellent numbers for another team, I predict that the Angels aren't even giving Cano any consideration. I sure hope that is the case. We do not need another high priced flop on this team.

What I fear is they trade Kendrick, lose out on Tanaka, then realizing they haven't made any big moves, decide to make a splash.

[CaliAngel]

I might have been okay with signing Cano if we didn't sign dumb Hamilton.

[Brent Maguire]

I'd say the chances of signing him are less than 1% 

[jshep]

I would be absolutely shocked if they even made a serious play for Cano.

 

Just not sure whether they'll pass because they're smarter than trying to give out another ridiculous contract to a luxury item,  or because they've just bogged down the payroll too much as is.

Angels sign Cano for 10 years, $275M.

 

Cano hits .230 with a .285 OBP and 14 HRs in 2014.

 

Angels DON'T sign Cano, and he goes to Texas where he hits 40 home runs and drives in 120.

[70runner]

Once great hitter now on the downslope of his career, in his 30s and looking for someone stupid enough to give him a long term mega contract.

 

A perfect fit for the TRIFECTA!

[YouthofToday]

The reason a massive asteroid is more likely to hit Angel Stadium this offseason than we sign Cano is because we ran out of AAV due to to $70 million locked up with the Albert Pujols, Wells and Hamilton.

We will sign Cano after we sign Ellsbury and trade Kendrick and pitching for Rios.  Knowing we have a fly ball staff, Scioscia will play the rarely used five man outfield.

Then we can move the OF fence back to Fullerton.

[ten ocho recon scout]

It would be worth it to sign cano just to hear AO call him 'Can't-O', or 'can't-no-mo'.

Holy crap way to make that into an avatar! So full of win!

[Angel Oracle]

Robinson Cano, he can't no mo!

Hey, it's better than John Sterling's schtick.
