L.A Angels sign Josh hamilton

[Grape Ape]

I guess he was reckless in putting together a team that goes deep into the playoffs year in and year out

Exactly, and, if anyone's been paying attention, he's shown nothing but restraint since he got full control, only splurging after 2008, which led to a WS in 2009.

IM an angels fan that is excited but who cares anway, according to wiggs the world is gonna end in a few days anyway so why worry??? 

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Yankees are the New England Patriots of baseball dude, in it every year.  how they do it financially is irrelevant.

back on topic...Trout, Pujols and hamilton as your 3,4,5, hitters? jesus christ.

Lets not forget Trumbo and Morales.

[Grape Ape]

Anaheim's lineup is indeed nasty.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

imop the Pujols contract is the only contract on that team that sucks...

Vernon Wells? 

[tacobender]

mike trout is the shit tho!!!

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Vernon Wells? 

Yes its awful. But they only had Wells for 4 years. And they will most likely cut him lose after this year with only one year left. Easier to eat the money with only a year left. They got 9 more years of Pujols. That's insane.

Any deal that long is insane, but the problem is that there's most likely more than one GM willing to go there, so it becomes necessary.

Just get Glaus to roid them up again like 02.  

[Mayor Of Bodybuilding]

Its good to see such a stable guy get tons of money!  By the way Baseball is beyond boring I have not spent a dime on these greedy bastards since 1994!

[flinstones1]

Hamilton for whatever reason  strikes me as a guy that I would not want to invest alot of money in . Reminds me of manny ramirez when he was with the dodgers....very hot cold type player dont get me wrog when he's on he's amazing but once a headcase always a headcase

[Pet shop boys]

BTW, I have the Jays going to the World series in 13'




WOOOSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Toronto doesn't have the pitching yet.  They've improved, but the AL East will still be tough, outside of Boston.

[bigmikecox]

Oakland will still win that division

not many teams in the A.L. have a better starting three than Johnson, Buehrle & Morrow.  (and if Ricky Romero bounces back into form then watch out.)

Two teams in their own division have a better three.

Buerhle gives innings, but he's average.   Johnson was a beast in 10/11 but mediocre in 12 and will have an AL adjustment.   Morrow's on pitched 124 innings last year.   I like the moves Toronto made, but they're not there yet.

Hamilton complained of blurry vision last season. Reported that his blood sugar was way too high. Pre-diabetic. Probably has been on HGH for close to a decade straight.

There is an obvious solution to this problem:  hire Johnny Falcon as the team's nutritionist.

Sounds almost as terrifying as Steve Nash, Kobe and Dwight Howard.

Or Gary Payton, Karl Malone and shaq.

Or Scottie pippen, Charles Barkley and Olajuwon

 Better go ahead and jump on those 2 to 1 odds for the Angels to win the AL just like last year

[tbombz]

Athletics still bouta pound that ass

[tommywishbone]

You would think he already had tons of money from all those blenders.
