Hold Lackey at Bay for the Cab

Though Granderson traded to NYY, there might persist the unique match between the Tigers and Angels for Miguel Cabrera, if the Angels re-sign Lackey.

M-Cab would be expensive and a liability at 3B

They want power. We want respect...

Moreover Investment

He’s shed the weight and wasn’t a bad OF for the Marlins. The could keep him away from 3B but move Morales to the OF or Cabrera. Mentioned of the article, they were prepared to shell out $160 mil over 8 for Tex while they were in on trading for M-Cab Hot Stove, 2007. He’s 26 years old with 6 years and $126 mil left now. That youth, rare of an impact bat, and those years is investment. It maintains their current standing with the residual yield to the farm. The money is recovered with the prospects built over the time. M-Cab is one of those rare opportunities to seize.

So did you not take the hint

When I hid your FanPost?

by Rev Halofan on Dec 8, 2009 10:04 PM PST reply actions

Hint?

I’m new here, maybe if you explained why you hid it in the first place, then you wouldn’t have come back at me like that?I That you didn’t, told me I should’ve posted it in FanShots because of the LINK involved. What’s wrong with the issue for you to hide it in the first place?!

You advertised your blog

I think that is what he was talking about.

This Isn't like Twitter?

Are we disallowed to include our blogs through FanShots, too?

Generation Britney needs everything explained

You show up with a preposterous frigtarded trade proposal but all you really wanted to do was drive traffic to your MLB Blog which doesn’t even have the decency to link to this blog in its sidebar.

But oh no how did they ever figure out your master plan for Angels Blogland dominance? Damn them, they figured you out.

A Salt Welcome from Rev Halofan

“frigtarded?”
A friend invites here and tells me that I should link sharing my personal Halos baseball fan blog under mlblogs.com) within forums discussion. I did not intend “to drive traffic”. The advertising slogan with the site seemed fitting. There’s no warnings or etiquette I must be aware about before linking my blog. I make the cut-and-paste mistake with my URL under FanPosts and realize it probably should have been FanShots.

So, I cut myself through the door on the way in and ask the Matre Di if he has a band-aid. He says, “welcome sir!” and hands me a packet of salt then tells me, “don’t let the door hit you on the way out!”

All I asked for was a little guidance, even for you to politely tell me I’ve mistaken walking into the wrong arena. Instead, your “frigtarded” head wasted all that energy!!

Wow, this site is some kind of Halos Fan booster!!!

This site is RIGGED with numerous “coolness detectors” and your first step was not at the front door of a diner but thru a tripwire that alerted us all to your presence.

Careful of the Kids on this board now.

Is this the same Ryan from Hollingshead who referred me to this site? I’ve scaled myself jumping into hot water that I have to jump back out, apparently.

No, I'm afraid I am a different Ryan

Hollingshead kicks butt!

I love how they open up their deli on Monday nights for Packers games. Fun times.

I love this team.

More Lackey

I’d love to see Lackey stick around… but I suspect he’s headed to the east coast to join his old pal K-Rod to toil in misery… in last place.

Supportive View on Lackey and Cabrera

Figuratively, Add $7 million to Lackey’s original $9 million and the Halos have cleared about $34.554 million off the old 2009 payroll level with free agents Vlad, Escobar, Figgins, Oliver, and Quinlan. This is if they sign Lackey who I estimate near $16 million per year over 5.

It’s diminished opportunity with Granderson and Jackson dealt now, but I simply took the standpoint that Cabrera might be there again for them after missing out on him in 2007. How does that change? The economy, maybe, but they’ve shifted their emphasis to premier starting pitching. Within that $34.554 million they’re obviously prepared to shell out about $21 or $22 million per year (that I estimate) on a 4-year extension for Halladay after putting up the players for him.

Cabrera’s a 27-year old premier slugger to the game proven in both leagues old with 6 years left on his contract. With rewarding results added their their lineup, that’s a lot to time to build up the farm and residual off the investment. Vlad created that himself when they signed him at the same age for 6 years from 2004. Any GM will tell you, make room for him if you have it!

The Angels are indicating that. If they lose out on Halladay but sign Lackey, they might still inquire on Cabrera. I would!
