THE WORST PART ABOUT LOSING TEIXIERA IS IT MEANS WE GAVE AWAY
CASY KOTCHMAN FOR NOTHING…MAYBE WE NEEDED TO REALIZE WITH SCOTT BORAS AS AGENT RESIGNING TEX WAS NOT GOING TO BE EASY…
THE TRUTH IS BORAS DOES NOT CARE HOW MUCH BASEBALL IS HURT BY
HIS DEMANDS FOR $$$$$$…AND WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER JOSE GUILLAN IN MANNY…WE SAW WHAT HE DID IN BOSTON, NO THANKS…..

Too Much Money!!!! Put Kendry Morales at 1st and if you can get Manny in left for Garret, Then pick up another pitcher like Peavy we will be good!!!!

Last year it was all pitching that got the 100 wins!! Stick with it!!

Tex at $200 million 8 to 10 years I am not interested….no thanks. If the angels don’t get him I hope he rots with the nats or the o’s just like he did with the rangers.

I honestly hope neither the redsox or yankees get him but if they do I hope they overpay big time….it sounds like it is going in that direction if one can believe the borass hype.

Manny can hit in the post season. At the right price I say get him….Scioscia knows how to handle him and Arte would love to steal the local thunder away from the lame @ss dodgers.

Pitching is key and always will be so we need to be sure our rotation and pen stay solid.

Of course it all depends on what the simpleton Jeff Miller says…..we need to be sure our color ratio stays in place or will be accused of racism. Maybe not getting the white boy tex would help jeffy boy see through his tinted contacts.

I used to be a die hard baseball fan, but I just can’t stomach it anymore because I’m tired of seeing the Red Sox and the Yankees raise the roof on salaries and drive up prices. This is ridiculous, and very soon, it’s going to come back and bite the sport where the sun don’t shine. Baseball fans can barely afford a ticket with today’s economy, yet Tex is ging to get $200 million of OUR money?

There should be a salary cap, but the players and the major market clubs will NEVER allow it.

What is it going to take for the players to learn that this can’t last forever… and could ruin the sport. Or do they care?

Forget it, I’m done with baseball.

So this was rumor, as expected.

Now as for the peavy talks..regardless if the angels sign Tex or not, we need it. Brandon Wood is overrated and how many more years will it take for the rest of the fans to see this. Whats it been, five years of the angel media telling us he will be good, “we see it.”

Would you or your work keeping giving someone a chance if he wouldn’t perform when given the chance year after year. All the B.S. that he hasn’t had enough bats, well he did this year and yet again…HE SUCKED. Its time to give up on this “talent” and trade him while he is worth something.

I like Sean Rodriguez and what I saw in him was a good to see. Lets focus on getting him ready cause Wood wont ever bee.

So lets go Angels, lets build a championship team how its always been done, through pitching.

PEACE OUT BRANDON WOOD!!!

Go after AGonzo and Peavy for Adenhart/Morales/Aybar (or Wood)/Conger and another AAA pitcher. This is a good deal for both teams. Angels are getting guys in their youth that they can lock up for awhile.

Quit moaning about trading away youth. These type deals need to be made to continue to develop youth w/o moving them along too fast.

Go after San Diego’s talent!! Team is apparently for sale, and payroll needs to be reduced. Bud Black would gladly have the above guys to fill holes at short/1st and pitching.

Pad’s won 63 games last year and a long way from their winning days. They need to re-build, but give talent the chance to win now, and for the next few years. Parting with AAA players, and getting guys in their prime in return is a no brainer.

There’s so much “bull” reporting here at the OCReg it’s borderline pathetic. This one goes in with the rest of the ever-growing, huge heap of junk ranging from “the Angels didn’t get anything done during the winter meetings” to “they left the meetings with less than they’d hope.”
