And the scenario most likely to result in an irrational response...
…like trading the farm for Halliday, or making a bad bet on Lowe. We’ll have little to no leverage after this.
If the net result of this off-season is (a) Figgins signs within the division and (b) Lackey goes to Fenway — with the Halos only picking up scrubs and B-players to swab the fans’ tears — Reagins will need to have his Ninja card revoked. I’ll call him Turtle after this one.

Honestly I'd prefer at this point...
assuming Lackey walks that we just plug the holes with cheap players, take the draft picks, trade nobody, and wait a year for Halladay.
Me too
The Angels can still win a world series or at least go to one without having to keep up with the payroll of the Yankees and Red Sox if they draft smart and develop their players. I think they need to focus on developing their young core of Morales, Kendrick, Aybar, and now hopefully Wood instead of overpaying for tier 2 type talent like Jason Bay or trading for a declining Lowe. I know it wouldn’t make most casual fans happy though if they didn’t make a move. Hope the team doesn’t feel obliged to make a move that may pay in the short term, but cost them in the long term.

agree the worst possible scenario would be us overreacting and trading away the farm/aybar/saundo just for one year with halladay and then have him potentially leave.
Our team is still pretty good, sure we arent very intimidating on paper, but games aren’t won on paper. I think next year is a good year to get our guys(Saundo, Kaz, and Santana) to finally live up to their potential. A scenario where if they do, we still have the best rotation in the west. And if 2002 taught us anything, anything can happen in the playoffs and maybe we’ll see mathis, kendrick, and morales be on an absolute tear
In Kobe we trust!
you don't have to worry about that now.
FUCK!

if its any consolation
im sure lackey will just LOVE pitching most of his games in new yankee stadium, against the rays feisty lineup and an orioles team that will be on the upswing over the life of his contract.
Oh ya, and he has to deal with that freakish stadium he’s never been good at FOR 81 GAMES A YEAR.
good luck, john. You’ll need it.

Not a chance
With all the arbitration raises the Reds are facing there’s no way they’re going to add a free agent contract like the one Lackey is seeking to the payroll.

Doesn't even make sense
Why would he take a physical without a contract? There have been zero rumors about teams making offers to Lackey, and it seems unlikely that this year’s top free agent would sign without so much as a whistle from the hot stove. Remember, agents use rumors to leverage their bargaining position, and Lackey’s agent can’t be very good if he isn’t making sure stuff gets leaked to the media.
it's a like a workout
to make sure his arm is healthy before they invest a huge chunk of change. that’s my guess anyway

There are
a certain number of teams that I think all of us as Angels fans wouldn’t blame a player when they hit FA leaving for… but in the same respect there are a handful of teams that we all won’t forgive players for going to.
If Lackey signs with the Clevland Indians or NY Mets, or The Balt Orioles, when he would play the Angels he would get a standing ovation.
Just like Figgins will the first time he plays here, even though he went to a division rival.
But Boston, the Yankees, or Texas
He will be booed and deservedly so
My prediction as of 12-11-2009- Wood .265 avg, 20 HRs 70 RBIs and an above average glove at 3b

Totally. LAckey in Fenway means he’s literally the money grubbing who** we all hoped he wasn’t. S’ok, though, we can finally beat Boston in October.
‘member when Lackey told Teixeira “You shoulda stayed here”? in a loss during the regular season (Yeah, I know about the WS, it’s still relevant…)
Ultimate Finish? Beating ’em in Fenway, Again, this year w/ Lackey taking the Loss.
He’d be BEGGING for Scioscia to take him out of that one.

I have to disagree.
If the Red Sox pay Lackey what the Angels will not, then the Sox just wanted him more. I blame the Angels for letting him get away.
OK, I'm finally over losing Tex. Thanks Kendry.
I hope he signs with them....
just so we get some closure and something to actually talk about around here.

But I’ll take their draft picks and hope this motivates the FO to make the deal for Halladay.

Mathis caught the majority of Lackey's pitches right...
If he does sign, I can’t wait until they get to Fenway. Mathis is going to reveal all of Lackey’s tells and watch him get lit up.
However, I really just hope he stays in Anaheim.

Not Surprised
Lackey I knew wasnt coming back after Sosh took him out during game 5 of the ALCS.
Also trading for Kazmir ,I think may have also rubbed Lackey the wrong way because he may have seen that the Angels didnt believe in Lackey.

After they pulled him out, that was the last pitch he threw for the Angels. But I was just being a discontent. Little did I know I was speaking the truth.

It seems like this has been developing for awhile
I remember Lackey saying back in 2008 he was tired of the Halos having a weak offense. Though the offense is improved now, it is pretty obvious to me that Lackey still feels he has a better chance of winning a ring with the Red Sox than the Angels.
Since it appears that the Sux have a higher payroll ceiling than the Halos, he probably figures that if he signs with Boston his contract won’t have as much of an impact on them as it would the Halos. For the Angels signing Lackey would pretty much wipe out their budget for 2009. For Boston they can still at least make one more signing such as a Mike Cameron type.

I am more interested in seeing what he does against the East
He was good in the playoffs, but facing the Yanks and Rays so many times throughout the year will be interesting to say the least.
In any case this move really doesn’t make sense to me from a Red Sox perspective. It seems like this would really hinder their chances of resigning Beckett and/or Martinez in the near future or going after Joe Mauer.

Adrian Gonzales
Look for them to make a big trade to land Gonzales, with Buchholz being the centerpiece of the deal. Don’t weep for Boston’s offense.
Well at least Tor gets screwed in this aswell
If Lackey signs the Angels get the 29th selection and it bumps the Scutaro pick to the 2nd round.
The biggest fear I have is that this is a precursor to a AGon deal and it effectively sews up 2 playoff spots in the AL East. That means that it gets even more difficult to make the playoffs…
JD’s like, "you want some fucking pitching? Here’s all the pitching you can stand. Now choke on it, bitches!"- RCCook
Come on Tony, at least drive the price up!!!!
Figgins was understandable, but letting Lackey go without a fight is not.
If it happens, I will have to take comfort in the fact that Torii Hunter has a grand slam waiting for him…

Ya, I was just thinking the same thing.
It seems the Angels decided to go a different direction on the Figgins situation, but they can’t let the Sox have Lackey this easily.
How would Reagins drive up the price?
If the Sox are offering Lackey something similar to Burnett money and Lackey is willing to accept, you risk Lackey agreeing to a bad contract (85-90 over 5) in attempt to drive up the price. That’s just irresponsible and bad negotiating.

Reagins is a complete tard and worthless as a GM, 1st Figgy and now Lackey? Is this guy just a total a-hole to everyone in baseball. He can’t get a real deal done for a trade and he can’t resign FAs…?
Fool.
Sosh and Arte run a three headed monster system. Being a GM isn’t easy since everyone is trying to get the best of the deal. He just took our team to the American League Championship Series dummy.

To be honest
It’s not that great of a signing for Boston (if it does happen). The sentimental value is high so it seems more significant, but there is a solid chance that his best baseball is behind him. Injury/arm problems and bad finishes has been his MO lately. We get the pick, and maybe we make a move to compensate, i.e. Halladay as replacement or Bay as payback. This is a short term move for Boston, a short term risk. I just hope they dont turn around and trade Buchholz to the Padres for Gonzalez.
Its funny because Lackey is player that the Red Sox make fun of the most.

Well, shit
Where is the Angels FA during all of this? They have about $75M committed next year (before arbitration raises). Seeing as how th payroll last year was over $115M, where is the money going to go if not to Lackey?
Matsui?
I agree he would be good in our lineup, but losing Lackey without making a strong offer (my assumption) is troublesome. If Lackey is gone, then the Jays know they can raid the cupboard for Holliday.
So this week we should see...
Bay and Halladay as angels, dont know how we will make it work with our payroll, but this would make me feel better.

I'm guessing Reagins knows something about Vladdy's situation that we don't
Maybe someone is pretty close to offering him an OF role?
Vlad is the sentimental choice
but Matsui makes better baseball sense IMO. The Angels have been overly right handed with Hunter, Vlad, Juan Rivera, and Mike Napoli supplying most of the power with K-Mo being the only real left handed power threat. Matsui balances the lineup out in that aspect.
Secondly, Matsui fits into the new offensive philosophy better. Matsui is patient, unlike the free swinging-Vlad and he can help Abreu develop patience in the younger hitters. As great as Vlad was, I thought he was a bad influence for the Aybars and Kendricks of the world because he had the unnatural ability to hit anything within a 5 mile radius of the strike zone. Matsui has a career .370 OBP in the majors and never had an OBP lower than .353, his first year in the majors. Vlad would have high OBP’s but they were mostly weighed by his gaudy .325+ BA’s. But Vlad is slowing down and I don’t think he can hit .330 anymore.

This reminds me of a comment Mr. Lackey made a while back.
“We are way better than they are. We lost to a team not as good as us.”
- John Lackey, after his team errored, blow-saved and suicide squeezed its way out of the playoffs back in 2008
I think Mr. Lackey has looked at the writing on the wall of the clubhouse (is that blood?) and concluded that maybe his team ISN’T the best bet going forward.

I was wondering what Seitz would have to say...
I’m not quite in the same place, but I completely feel your frustration. I just didn’t think Lackey was worth $85 million. Don’t know why, I just didn’t. I’m kind of glad he will be someone else’s problem in 2013 and 2014…
