Healthy
That is what matters to me.l
The Angels may have beat them 8 times in a row, but winning three before they do is all that matters.
But how many degrees from Kevin Bacon is all of this?
Francisco Rodriguez: 2006 to Present: 149 saves. 5 Panthers. As fabulous as Pride, Romero, Gregg, Budde and Dino Ebel combined.
I'm only 2 degrees from Kevin Bacon
Does that make all of youz 3 degrees?…
My Bacon number is 2

Kevin Bacon starred in footloose
Pep Harris pitched 9 years ago, and Denzel Washington starred in Crimson Tide, which means in the words of Dark Helmut “Absolutely Nothing”.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
This was one helluva trade ...
July 13, 2001: The Angels trade Kimera Bartee to the Rockies for Chone Figgins
Don't call me Desmond
You can see signs of Stoneman starting to become senile with these moves ...

Uh...What?
Jered Weaver signs: Good Move
Matt Brown signs: Draft pick, 100’s don’t pan out.
Callaspo for Bulger: Not great, but we had too many middle infielders and someone had to go.
O’Day signs: Again, plentys of these guys don’t pan out, and O’Day wasn’t that bad this year.
Justin Speier signs: Last year we really needed him, this year’s been bad but he could still turn things around.
GMJ: Stoneman’s worst move, hand’s down.
Darren Oliver: Aside from a horrible April 2007, Oliver’s been nails. Good move.
Alex Serrano signs: Draft pick, could turn out well for us. Not sure what the problem is.
Cabrera for Garland: GREAT move, as it turned out.
Honestly, besides GMJ, there’s not really a bad move here.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!
Reagins traded OC for Garland
The Angels may have beat them 8 times in a row, but winning three before they do is all that matters.
Really informative post
I like the chronology, and the picture it draws of how to build from within then add as best as is available. Great rundown. I liked it so much I posted a fanpost over on LoneStarBall, then learned that Scott Lucas had built a table showing much the same information on the Rangers.

Looking forward to the playoffs, without the Yankees and as soon as business is attended to, without the RedSox.
