17 I'm glad the Mets passed on him. There was a time when he looked like he was going to be a really excellent ballplayer but it never happened. 4297173

5 don't ever depend on him. The walks are great, but not if you need him to get a hit or drive in a run. He looks to walk instead of drive in a big run. His numbers look great, and he's a solid player, but he's a good roll player and cares more about reaching his numbers than the team. Plus is defense is terrible, the one gold glove he won was a complete sham. He's as bad as burrell in the field. 4296043

16 yeah, ok... Last year his Ba w/RISP was .296. With 2 outs and RISP, he batted .382, and slugged .618...had an OPS of 1.052. When it was 'late and close', he batted .361 and slugged .578...had an OPS of 1.014. his defense used to be very good...and he had a good arm, but he's 34, 35 now? 4296962

13 You guys are full of it, this is a guy that has always delivered look at his numbers! selfish maybe but a guy dring in 100 plus runs for the last decade ,bating every year around 300 and taking more walks than everyone else i think it's a good adition for any team, plus he has a great arm at for a right fielder, doesn't take risks, how many guys takes them, i think as long as he can make rutine plays and bats the way he does is he's a good bet. 4296862

11 There were better options for the Angels out there to be had. Paul Konerko for example would have been a much better fit, but heaven forbid that the paranoid Angels ever make a legitimate trade. 4296447

8 BAD mistake 4296110

The Angels appear to be closing in on a deal with star free-agent outfielder Bobby Abreu, sources say. Abreu, who hit .296 with 20 home runs and 100 RBIs, should significantly boost the Angels' offense and represents a decent fallback position after they failed to sign star first baseman Mark Teixeira. ESPN.com reported tonight that the sides are in serious talks after SI.com said the field had been narrowed to the Angels, Braves, Mets, Pirates and Reds. FOXsports.com pointed out that the Angels cleared space by releasing righthander Nick Green. http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/100/64/thumb/Heyman_Jon.png 0 NY
