For those who care about baseball Mark Teixeria has been traded from Atlanta Braves to Anaheim Angels (who think they're in L.A.) for Casey Kotchman and AA pitcher Stephen Marek.  Diamondbacks were believed to be the front runner, but were unwilling to give up Connor Jackson.  Not sure if this is a good move or not.  Teixeria is a free agent at the end of the season and may command 20M.  His agent is Scott Boras

I think Kotchman will develope into a decent player. The pitcher the Braves got will probably not be a great major league. If Teixeria doesn't re-sign with the Angels then this deal will be wash, but for them, but good for the Braves.

I think this shows that the Angels want to win the World Series THIS year at all costs. I think they've grown tired of being eliminated by the Boston Red Sox. This makes them the team to beat in the AL in my opinion.
