Bullpen will again be a strength in 2012
MILWAUKEE In 2011, the Milwaukee Brewers went into the All-Star break tied with the St. Louis Cardinals atop the National League Central. They went 49-43 in the first half a respectable mark but tore through the second half with a 47-23 record, on the way to a franchise-record 96 victories and their first division title in 29 years.

2012 Player Profile: Bobby Cassevah
This time last year, Bobby Cassevah was just organizational depth. Now, he gets his own profile. Despite starting the season in the minors, Cassevah fought through the mess that the Angels bullpen was to emerge as the unlikely top right-hander in the pen. The question now is if he can hold onto that lofty status.

Angels can’t sign another free agent………..Cantu
I know it doesn’t compare to the Albert Pujols, C.J. Wilson, and maybe not even the LaTroy Hawkins deal, but Jorge Cantu is one of the signings that may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
The Halos inked Cantu to a minor league deal on Friday. Cantu, who had a disappointing season last year in San Diego, is just 2 seasons removed from driving on 100 runs with the Marlins...

Tweeted by an Angel is back! Yay for me, I finally came through on a New Year's resolution!!!

Veteran Hawkins ready to stabilize 'pen
Reliever LaTroy Hawkins took the liberty of showing up at the Winter Meetings in Dallas this year -- something he finds especially beneficial as a veteran of 17 seasons and eight teams -- and by being there, he was able to venture into the Angels' suite moments after agreeing on a one-year, $3 million deal with them on Dec. 7.

The Closing Window
The Red Sox entered the offseason with just three acceptable starting pitchers and two good relievers under contract. The primary goal of the offseason for Ben Cherington was to acquire pitching. It is now mid-December, and the most significant pitching acquisition by the Boston Red Sox has been the signing of Jesse Carlson to a non-guaranteed contract. Good free agent targets...

Analyzing smaller deals from meetings

For fans of the other 28 teams and LaTroy Hawkins, here's a summary of some of the less-celebrated player transactions from the last week and a half.

The Angels’ Corner Conundrum
While the Angels’ signings of C.J. Wilson and LaTroy Hawkins didn’t displace anyone, Albert Pujols‘ new deal has created quite a logjam at the corner positions for his new team. And now someone is going to have to go to make it work.
There are five spots — first base, designated hitter, left field, right field and one bench spot — for six players: Bobby Abreu, Torii Hunter...

LaTroy Hawkins Is a Survivor
The surprise isn't that LaTroy Hawkins is still pitching in the major leagues. The surprise is that anyone would sign a 39 year old pitcher that isn't left-handed. If reports are correct, Hawkins has signed a one year deal with the Angels for $3 million pending a physical. If the deal becomes finalized it will mean an eighteenth season for Hawkins with his ninth different team....

While waiting for CJ Wilson to make his decision, the Angels filled another hole on their roster by signing reliever LaTroy Hawkins to a 1-year deal.
Hawkins signed for 3 million, not bad for a middle innings, and sometimes late innings guy. The 38 year old Hawkins should do what Fernando Rodney couldn’t do, and that’s mentor Jordan Walden, and some of the other young...
