Bootcheck, Morales, K-Rod, Shields, and Winterball

Well, Bootcheck will be back with the Angels system after he cleared waivers.  Not real big news.  I suspect Ryan Budde will be back after being selected by the Phillies in the Rule 5 draft.  

The other news from the Angels is that Kendry Morales has some sort of knee injury.  It doesn't sound too serious, but if someone has to go in for an MRI, I guess it could be.  This sucks, because he is one of the few almost-MLB-ready prospects with power who hasn't been injury prone (read D-Mac; Kotchman has never shown real power numbers yet consistently, but we all think he'll put them up one day).

What is up with the winterball thing?  I always thought that the whole worried about injuries occurring was a little overrated, but our guys just seem to keep going down.  First Juan Rivera, then Kendry, and I remember that Vlad had a thumb injury not to long ago in winterball too.  It should be banned for all our players unless the Angels want them to play.

Just found out more news from the LA times. Apparently, Stoneman is negotiating with K-Rod and Shields to lock them up long-term...sweet! Do that Stoneman, and forgiveness will rain from Halos Heaven. Also, Kotchman and Bartolo are coming along.
