Print- Long-term, is it time to turn Shields into a starter?
- Your 2006 Angel bullpen: Is Donnelly in it?
- If Bengie can get a 4-year $24 million dollar contract, should the Angels offer him 3 years, $18 million?
- We can re-sign Washburn (4 years, $30 million) or Byrd (2 years, $12 million). Who do we pick?
- Arizona offers us Glaus for McPherson. You biting?

i'll play along
- Yes
- No chance in hell, unless pine tar is legalized
- Let him walk
- Washburn will not be re=signed at that price. Byrd at 1-year, 5.5 million is about right.
- Hell yes.

Okay...
- No. The Angels have Colon, Escobar, Lackey,and Santana returning next year for sure, with Saunders getting ready. They don't need another starter.
- I don't know. I suspect that what's going wrong can't be fixed, but we won't know for sure until spring training next year.
- Why would Molina take a smaller deal with the Angels than he could get elsewhere?
- Washburn.
- Uh, no.

Answers
- Only if you're not planning on bringing back Washburn or Byrd.
- In spring training, I think he is. He'll have to earn a job, though.
- No. I don't really bring him back under almost any circumstances outside of a one year deal. I'm fine turning the job over to Mathis next season.
- Byrd.
- No.
Ohhh fun!
- No. I don't see any openings in the rotation for the next few seasons.
- No. He's 34 years old. The collapse was not impossible to see coming.
- No. There's no need to long-term any catcher with Mathis on the way.
- I wish we could sign Washburn for $7.5 per. I would be wary of signing Byrd to anything more than a one-year deal.
- Nope. Glaus' shoulder is going to shut him down in the future. Maybe not this year, maybe not next year, but someday... someday...

- No, I don't see any room in the rotation for him.
- No freakin way
- No. Mathis is not that far away and we have too many catchers anyways
- Washburn
- No Glaus would be just as likely to leave again in another few years. We might as well hold on to McPherson.

keep tokin' with Hud
- No, because right now he wouldn't make it out of the first inning.
- Not sure. If he gets his shit together immediately, then yes. If he continues to fail miserably, then I'd say "make him prove it in spring training."
- The Angels need to keep Bengie, because no other catcher can hit -- at all. Offer him something, but don't lowball him because you think he might take a homer deal. He won't. Why should he?
- Washburn
- Glaus is a proven hitter, McP isn't. They're both fragile. I'll take Glaus.
Mal idees
- Colon, Escobar, Lackey, Santana, probably Washburn ... and also Saunders, Weaver and Bootcheck ... so, no.
- Do they need someone to clean out the toilets?
- Oh my gawd hell nah. Did you see him try to catch baseballs last night? Does that body look like it will age well? Is there not a very good prospect just up from Triple A who's a better defender right now? Aren't there more pressing needs for that money?
- Wash in a walk. Better pitcher at his best, younger, left-handeder, bro-er.
- My fist, with laughter.
Answers
- Not unless you want to redo the whole bullpen outside of Frankie.
- Yes, but he's no longer a trusted guy.
- Mu. "Answer yes or no, have you stopped beating your wife?"
- No lefty in the rotation? Byrd for two years is dangerous; how likely is he to make it to 37 without serious injury?
- No way, Jose.
