Money quote: Angels General Manager Tony Reagins said Wednesday afternoon that he has not had "face-to-face" meetings with any players at the winter meetings, and his plan Wednesday night was to have dinner with officials from the team's double-A Arkansas affiliate. But the Angels sent a contingent that is believed to have included owner Arte Moreno and Reagins to Houston in November to meet with Crawford, according to a source who requested anonymity because of the sensitive nature of negotiations. Hunter was not sure whether the Angels met in person with Crawford, and Reagins declined comment about a possible meeting. Sounds to me like this is just the sort of stuff which, as Carlos Pena said, indicates to Crawford that a team is serious about him.
