I would love Tanaka and Hughes, I think Richards pitches better than people think he will and becomes a very dependable 3-4 type starter, Hughes would slide in nicely to the 4-5 spot and pitch decently in Anaheim (he'll have the benefit of pitching in parks like Anaheim, Safeco, and Oakland as opposed to launching pads like NY, Fenway, Baltimore, and Toronto.) Rotation would start the year out with Weaver, Wilson, Tanaka, Hughes, and Richards and end the year with Weaver, Tanaka, Wilson, Richards, and Hughes. Hughes alone will consume almost all, if not all, of the remaining $8 million the Angels have left to spend so even if they trade Howie Tanaka will more than likely push the Angels over the tax threshold. Jerry and Arte will have to get very creative

Arte should just pay the luxury tax for the next 4 seasons, while also building up the farm.

Signing Tanaka, Hughes, and the Beard = no lost picks.

It's not our money, AND he has the new tv deal with money pouring in.

And make sure Trout gets at least $5 million in 2014. NO MORE 5% RAISES!

I could be wrong, but I don't think Trout is getting anywhere near 5 million for 2014. At best, I could see his salary doubling, which is perfectly fair IMO.

I agree that 5% would be insulting at this point, but remember they have no requirement to give him any raise whatsoever.
