There's been speculation that the Angels might not re-sign Francisco Rodriguez, the reasoning being that there are only so many bullets left in that shoulder and his price tag would be prohibitive. But try replacing him. "There's no doubt some team is going to throw a zillion dollars at him," said a National League general manager. "If they do, how can you blame them? He's been one of the premier guys for a long time. I think you always worry about durability over the long haul, but I'd be surprised if the Angels didn't re-up."

They'll try, but some of the other teams will bid it up. Atlanta, St. Louis, Milwaukee, and the Mets and Yankees will be also be in the running.

If he doesn't mind setting up for Mo than he will be a Yankee. Though I doubt he would because he has a chance to be the greatest closer ever at this pace.

Not when the Angels are spending so much money paying off umpires like the idiot who blew that call at home plate last night against the Rangers. Hunter never touched the plate, but the ump called him safe like he was programmed to do it.

I don't really either, 10Rings, but they definitely need bullpen help.

The Halos should let him go and spend the money on Tex.

Any reliever not named Mariano Rivera is not worth the kind of money this guy will get. Very few big money free agent relievers pay dividends for their new team.
