06:20 PM ET 12.15 | Don't tell the Los Angeles Angels about freedom of the press. The Angels aren't censoring their beat writers or the national writers tasked with following them after signing Josh Hamilton to a massive contract, but they're not keeping their press box. The team has announced that portions of the press box will be converted and renovated into luxury suites to accommodate as many as 80 more fans with "upgraded dining opportunities and amenities." Those that have a beef with how the Angels are spending their money have a whole new ballgame to be upset about. The press box won't be absent from the ballpark, but it just won't be in as cozy of a spot. The television and radio booths will remain where they are, but for newspaper writers and bloggers, they'll be watching Josh Hamilton and the Angels from another vantage point next year.

The Angels are putting together a stellar team, the Bluejays are too.

If Joe Blanton is in your starting rotation, I'm not sure that the team is "stellar."
The Angels and Marlins were putting together stellar teams last off-season. How did that work out?

As for the press box...I am a former sportswriter. The press gets lots of perks and privileges, and in return, they print and report in a positive manner regarding the team. This may bite the Angels in the rear.

The Angels won 89 games last season - more than the AL representative in the World Series. It wasn't as big a failure as you insinuate. They still need to address their bullpen, which maybe they can do by moving some of their excess outfielders, but I wouldn't lump the Angels in with the Marlins by any stretch.

You can trade and overpay players all you want to, but the bottom is line the last two champions did not have the best record in their leagues, but both got on a roll in September and it continued to the end and you know the results.
