Angels would get their top of the line starter and Phillies would get an outfield powerboat for right field and a cheap pitcher who's under club control for a while.
The Angels could then spend their remaining 20 million a year budget on signing Choo to finish the offseason signings. Offer 6/120 to Choo.

Reagins was a patsy for Arte, Scioscia and Stoneman. He took one for the team. Jerry Dipoto has a three year contract and he will be gone after next season. I don't think Sosh is a big fan of JD.
