If you don't think, saves aside, that Frankie is still dominant, and one of the top three closers in the game, you're on drugs. Very few guys dominate for the period of time that Frankie has dominated.

So we can't evaluate the trade on that criterion.<BR/><BR/>And while I do not follow your logic, if the trade somehow makes it more likely that Frankie leaves, then that's another reason to like it. I sure hope the Angels are not lured by his demolition of the MSShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199636437911986505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130770.post-75864339712277554442008-07-30T01:50:00.000-05:002008-07-30T01:50:00.000-05:00Why do you hate winning?

The Angels have been arrogant in their approach that they don't need a lefty set-up guy or they don't need power hitters.

I think a hungry Hank Steibrenner with a need for first baseman is going to overpay by a ton for Teix. It won't be Arte's fault when he doesn't sign, because he'll get stupid money, but he won't be an Angel next year, or at least that's my prediction.<BR/><BR/>And I think the Angels will be Seitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06027580090158303823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130770.post-16706186004328148802008-07-29T22:05:00.000-05:002008-07-29T22:05:00.000-05:00I find your lack of faith disturbing.Or more accur...I find your lack of faith disturbing.<BR/><BR/>Or more accurately, I'm just not convinced this makes us worse in '09, because I'm not convinced we won't sign Frankie and Tex.<BR/><BR/>The Angels *have*, in the past, outbid other teams for a primo free agent (Vlad, Torii).
