Mathis
By Chuck Richter - Senior Editor Angelswin.com According to a Marlins source, Florida wants what the Angels have in a catcher (Jeff Mathis) who they're high on and a centerfielder (Reggie Willits). Even though he could still be a part of a packaged deal to Florida, it's worth noting that this source did not mention Howie Kendrick's name, but that they would be more interested in a young arm or two coming back in the package, or perhaps a third baseman, possibly Dallas McPherson? It's highly unlikely that the Angels would send Brandon Wood in this deal, especially if they're asked to part with a young pitcher along with Mathis & Willits such as Adenhart or Saunders.

Casey Kotchman: Our forgotten future star

Amidst all the obsession over the Two Miguels and other trade possibilities, it seems that many have forgotten that the Angels have a collection of promising young hitters, some of whom--such as Howie Kendrick and Casey Kotchman--have gone beyond the level of "potential" into "actual." To provide an alternative for those that tire of the endless cycling of the...

Around The Halo 3/12/2009

Howie Kendrick tells the OC Register that he "can play every day". Bill Plunkett says the "oft-injured underachiever" is ready for a breakout year.My take. Hopefully this comes to pass because the Angels will feature a very dangerous offense if Kendrick blossoms into the player at the major league level that he showed in the minor leagues. The Angels desperately...

The Gatorade Commercial

Have you seen the Gatorade commercial I'm in? I finally saw it a few days ago. The whole thing was set up through our front office. It's not like I tried out for the part. I'm on the mound and Derek Jeter's on first trying to steal. Garrett Anderson is playing first base, Howie Kendrick is at second and Shea Hillenbrand is in there too. Derek is a great guy. I'...

Do the Angels need another elite hitter

Cabrera gives the Halos a 1-2 punch much like Manny & Papi, but is it necessary? More Angelic Musings by J. Northrop The recent insatiable desire for Miguel Cabrera among many Angels fans?which is bordering on unwarranted desperation, in my opinion?got me thinking: just how necessary are elite hitters to winning the World Series? There is certainly a psychological difference...

MLB Rumors: Miguel Cabrera, Pirates, White Sox, Randy Johnson

Today I will cover some of 2008's top prospects, as a continuation of the last time we checked in, covering Cincinnati Reds prospect Jay Bruce, Los Angeles Angels prospect Brandon Wood, Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Clayton Kershaw and St. Louis Cardinals prospect Colby Rasmus.

The Myth of the Good At-Bat

Last week, watching Reggie Willits bat against Scott Kazmir, I literally bit my tongue. I'd just flipped on the game; Kazmir was pitching well; Willits stepped to the plate. With two strikes, Reggie just kept fouling off good pitches. Fastballs, sliders, changes–he hit them over the fence behind home-plate. And the Angels's announcers were ecstatic. Rex Hudler was smiling...

Offer to Angels on the table

By Chuck Richter -Senior Editor Angelswin.com Read into this as little or as much as you want. I was told by my sources that the Orioles have an offer into the Angels that would net them Brandon Wood and Joe Saunders for their best player, Miguel Tejada. The ball is in the Angels court. The winter meetings are ahead and while the Angels 1st option is the other Miguel from...

LA clubs lead list of Cabrera suitors

By Chuck Richter - Angelswin.com Senior Editor Now that we forget about Pay-Rod's 50 Hr's in Anaheim, is Plan B or perhaps to Tony Reagins in Co., Plan A in full force? The Angels and Dodgers are said to be the leading destinations for power hitting 3B Miguel Cabrera from the Florida Marlins in a trade that would have to include Howie Kendrick and at least Nick Adenhart...

Blockbuster Trade!! Cabrera and Willis to the Tigers

The Marlins just traded Cabrera and Willis to the Tigers. Although the Tigers gave up 4 out of their top 10 prospects in this trade, I feel that the overall winner of the trade is the Tigers.

The Dodgers Can't Get a Hit...But Win

Hits are overrated. At least that's what the Dodgers are telling themselves tonight. Despite being no-hit for 8 innings, they walked away with a 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at home on Saturday. The Dodgers got a baserunner in the 5th when Jered Weaver couldn't field a soft grounder from Matt Kemp. Kemp promptly stole second, and then helped himself to...

Looking to October: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

In theory, I'm going to try to write one of these for each of the eight playoff teams; we'll see how that goes. In order to space them out a bit, and avoid writing 8,000 words in 48 hours, I'm going to start now with the Angels, who could clinch the AL West as soon as late Tuesday evening. The Red Sox will probably be next, as the current odds put their chances of missing...
