Winter Meetings Grind to a Halt

in Angels Rumors And Links
Email
Print1 PM update: I could link to a million tweets, but here is a summary... quiet bidding and jockeying for position are the order of the day.
Mark Buehrle: Marlins have the biggest offer, pending Wilson rejecting theirs. Five teams await the outcome to pick up the former White Sox lefty. UPDATE: Tweets are that Mark Buehrle will be rejoining Ozzie Guillen in South Florida for 4 years and $58 million. Miami Marlins have kicked the domino... here it all comes.
C.J. Wilson: he will be the first next domino. Marlins have offered six years, Rangers have offered five years, Angels are at five.
Albert Pujols: Marlins will end their bid for him if CJ or Burly signs. Cardinals waiting for courtesy final bid. Mystery Teams abound. The Angels have not commented on the tweeting rumors. Given the chance to deny pursuing Pujols, Jerry Dipoto publicly stuck to not commenting today.
Huston Street: Traded to the Padres for a player they have to find first and tell, until then he is "To Be Named Later".
Prince Fielder: Agent Scott Boras is playing the wait and screw game. The Pujols contract will be the gauge.
Hiroki Kuroda: With Dodgers signing Chris Capuano, he suddenly doesn't mind playing anywhere in continental North America.
Ryan Madson: The ex-Phillies closer looking for a new team will wait until the A's deal Andrew Bailey.
Frankie Rodriguez: Oh hush, even downtown, voices carry...

No, a little less, 5/75ish?
"And is terrible at everything that matters." – Keith Law’s response to Lyle Spencer describing Jeff Mathis.
The turn of events from us being involved in both CJ and Albert.
Now to possibly losing out on Wilson and not really being in on Pujols. It appears DiPoto is onto something. Lets hope he gets something done.
Mathis is finally gone. Only good things can happen now.

Question for those who vote 'no'
Is it because he would get more than Jered? If Jered was a free agent, what do you think he’d get? He supposedly left $20-30 million on the table.
Jered took a hometown discount because he wanted to stay here. Don’t use that as a limiter for other players.
Do I think CJ is worth more than Jered? No, but I believe 5/85 is probably on the low end of reasonability for the market.
I am on a horse!
wouldn't be surprised to see him get 6/108.
Not that I want the Angels to make that deal.
I am on a horse!
I personally would not go over 5 years 80 million.
That is the max I would offer him. Definitely not six years.

I don't think he'll be good for that long
I would rather spend less money and fewer years on a lower end guy and then allocate more resources towards improving our hitting.
I wouldn’t go over 4 years, but that’s obviously not going to happen. In which case, I’d rather not sign him at all.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
This would be the best way to go.
So we probably won’t.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
blew up in the postseason?
he doesn’t have a killer out pitch? no blazing fastball? plus i saw him in college and didn’t think he was the best pitcher then.
Small sample sizes ftw!
What we've got here is a failure to communicate.

Belief is cj wants to go west (angels) but marlins very aggressive. Angels very practiced at finishing 2nd.

We would be CJ's hometown too.
Maybe he will also take less to play at home. Even more likely now that the Marlins are out on him.

It aint a hometown discount if that is all he was worth

So now that Buerle signed... if they are out for both CJ and Pujols what if...
the Halos can get CJ for a decent price of say $13.5M. over 5 years AND also get Pujols for $25M. a year for 8 years guaranteed plus 2 option years. Dipoto could then dump Hunter to the Nats who a.) Have money to spend and b.) Are hell bent on obtaining a CF for some prospects. In this case you add $38.5M. in commitments but also dump $18.5 in Hunter’s contract and are still under Moreno’s budget. You could then make other minor trades to bolster the pen and call it an offseason.

I wonder why CJ doesn't appear to be psyched about returning to Texas?
Beside that it’s a shit place to live
Ain't nothin' wrong with Texas, other than it's Texas.

Just fine
Times are tough and our governor is an asshat who can’t string a coherent sentence together (not the first time we’ve had that) but our unemployment hasn’t been double digits like some places.
So, serious question, would getting CJ address one of your needs? I don’t watch every Halos game like you guys but I didn’t perceive starting pitching to be your weakness. Taking him away from a rival is good for you guys but is that move something you are cheering for? I’m not likely to get good feedback since I started off trolling but I would like to know.

CJ either bumps one of the backend starters out of the rotations or frees up Ervin Santana as tradebait for offense.

Was somewhat of a non sequitur
The question was really aimed at the notion that Santana is trade bait but the “does CJ fill a role” question probably shouldn’t have been shoehorned into the TX sucks debate.

Not really
Segura is nice but I suspect he’ll be needed when Howie leaves.
There’s also Richards but he’s the only good pitching prospect close to the majors.
Maybe if they traded Conger, Bourjos, Trumbo, and/or Callaspo (young/cheap MLB guys) they could get something of worth.

Marlins need to figure out the Hanley situation fast
If Hanley needs to be traded, they might as well get a starter and then go after Fielder. That would take them out of the CJ running. But if Hanley does move to 3rd, then they still for a FA starter.
Marlins might have done us a favor
If they’re out of the picture, CJ’s other offer is from the Rangers for 4/60 (if the rumors are right). That could push him right into the 5/75-80 slot for the Angels.
That is do-able.

I posted this above but this thread has gone mad. Let me know what you think.
Now that the Marlins got their starter the Halos have a realistic shot at getting CJ for a decent price. Say $13.5M. over 5 years AND also get Pujols at a price of $25M. a year for 8 years guaranteed plus 2 option years. Dipoto could then dump Hunter to the Nats who a.) Have money to spend and b.) Are hell bent on obtaining a CF. Possibly for some prospects. In this case you add $38.5M. in commitments but also dump $18.5 in Hunter’s contract and are still under Moreno’s budget. You could then make other minor trades to bolster the pen and call it an offseason.
Life is short, enjoy the ride.
thank you! this is the reply i was looking for

Why not?
As long as what the Angels get in return is minimal, Hunter’s production the last few years is worth $10-15 million on the open market. It’s not hard to see them getting back that much in a salary dump trade.
This is a sig.
by Caseys Kiss of Death on Dec 7, 2011 3:12 PM PST up reply actions
I think it is possible too.
You wouldn’t get much in return in the form of prospects but you would get a return of flexibility to make a major FA signing. Only thing is that I am not sure if he has a no trade clause.
Life is short, enjoy the ride.
He's a team leader and a good spokesperson
plus the no-trade clause. I don’t think he wants to leave and don’t think the FO as any thoughts of trading him.
I’m not against it. They Angels could definately use the payroll flexibility, but I just don’t see it happening.
Then who?
Bobby A. is an easy target but I doubt anyone would take him with his $9M. salary.
Life is short, enjoy the ride.
Maybe it will just take one year of being over Arte's budget.
Heck that would be a nice Christmas present to all of us fans. I can dream.
Life is short, enjoy the ride.

I could see Callaspo, Izturis, or Trumbo being traded depending on who we sign. Maybe Bobby if we eat a bunch of his contract.

But lets say if you win two or more world series over ten years with Pujols. It instantly becomes worth it. It is a gamble betting that you win. If you don’t its a bad deal. However the revenue that would be generated with Pujols could offset the loss.

Just In: Angels get CJ Wilson
One of ESPN’s tools just reported the Angels and Wilson have reached an agreement!
The most that has been said.
Is by Bowden who said that CJ is leaning towards Angels.
Mathis is finally gone. Only good things can happen now.

The A’s obviously have no reason to expect an influx of fans, given the craphole they play in. I also think they’ve spent a decent amount more than the Marlins the last few years. But that’s off the top of my head. I’m too lazy to look up COT’s at the moment.

Yep
I think the Marlins are making their usual push for a World Series. They’re cashing in on their move to a new stadium, and when/if they make a postseason run, they’ll sell everybody off and go back to being the Marlins.
Someone made the point on a different blog that it makes a ton of sense to sign all your free agents in one year. Although this will be moot with the new CBA, under the old CBA (which is still in effect this year) you would lose a 1st round pick for each Type A free agent you sign. However, if you sign more than one in one offseason, you lose 2nd or 3rd round picks.
So signing 4 Type A free agents in 4 consecutive years will cost you 4 1st round picks. Signing 4 Type A free agents in 1 year will cost you one 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round pick. The second deal is a lot better.

Per Rotoworld
Bob Klapisch of the Bergen Record reports that C.J. Wilson signing with the Angels is “very close” to being finalized.
After the Marlins signed Buehrle, the Angels immediate became the big favorites for Wilson even though Miami reportedly hadn’t given up on him. The Marlins’ offer was reportedly for six year, so it will be interesting to see if the Halos ended up going to that length. Wilson should have no trouble getting in excess of $15 million per season after Buehrle got $14.5.

Bowden used to sport leather pants in Cincinnati. He is not very reliable.

OK. Can't wait any longer... have to get home to Mrs. red floyd.
If it’s resolved before I sign in again, throw in my celebration (either way).

I simply don’t buy that CJ Wilson would go to the #Marlins. If he’s gone this far, my guess is he signs with the #Angels.
Sources say
That the MIami Marlins signed Granderson. Good signing.
Mathis is finally gone. Only good things can happen now.

Broke his leg.
Vernon Wells 2011 Stats (.218/.248/.412) and 2010 road stats (.224/.299/.400). The front office shouldn't have been surprised.
Which wouldn't be all that bad.
CJ should be viewed as a luxury. Either case, Texas won’t have him in their rotation.

Then I look at MLBtraderumors and my day contines to get worse… I’m so sick of the same BS from the Angels.. We lost out on Beltre over an extra year, now we’re looking at CJ Wilson and Arami FKN Ramirez.. My god, man! What is going on in HaloLand?

the team had gotten a mere lump of coal last year. Instead, it got a lump of something else.
His new number will be 58 so he wants the contract to be

CJ, your balls will stick to your legs. Sounds pretty terrible to me.
Unlike this cat, my love for the LAA will never die.
Street trade.....
Guessing Rockies are clearing out Street to make room for Brad Lidge – if that is the case, the Angels have little shot at Lidge since he lives in Colorado, but if not he should be pursued……Would be a great mentor for Walden and would give him a year in the 8th inning spot (where he would have been last year if Rodney hadn’t failed)….Big injury gamble, but hey, we were 10 games out last year…..
