Who protects Tex next year?

by higdog on Aug 25, 2008 8:37 PM PDT

If Tex gets a big contract with the Angels, is there another FA out there to sign to protect him. Re-signing Vlad next year is an option. I haven't looked that closely at next years free agent list. But if we sign Tex and don't have sufficient protection for him then we're back to the old Vladdy days. As for in house options, Hunter may offer some protection , as well as Rivera. Talk amongst yourselves...........

All of the real power threats are outfielders, but if Figgins leaves and either Hank Blalock/Adrian Beltre are healthy and more proven, I could take a chance on them. However, that is if Brandon Wood hasn’t established himself as a Major League hitter.

Is someone looking to steal his lunch money.

’cause if I were Teix then I think Darren Oliver might be good.

He’s pretty low key, but I’m sure he could show you a thing or two.

Go Angels!

I thought about it for a moment

And I concur with A-Rod probably protecting him in that lineup.

as long as we follow

This Plan , we should be able to get A-Rod too.

and the "Ninja" is such a talented negotiator...

the Yankees are going to pay A-Rod’s full salary anyway!

by sothball on Aug 26, 2008 12:00 PM PDT up reply actions

I think the implication

Is Tex will be in the middle of NYY’s order, not the Angels.

But that does not follow the plan!!!
