The Angel payroll dropped $5.5M from 2008 to 2009 ($119.2M in 08, $113.7M in 09). The 2008 payroll was the highest in franchise history. The 2002 team won the...

Arte said for 2009 he was comfortable staying at the 2008 level - we just didn't spend it all.  We can't compare the payroll of the 2002 team since it would...

I think you're pretty much on the right track...with one big exception. I really don't see any type of Roy Halladay deal going down, even if Lackey walks. I...

The deal is worth $19MM guaranteed. Abreu will be paid $9MM in 2010 and 2011, plus a $1MM buyout for a $9MM option that could vest based on plate appearances....

I would have to agree, Aaron.  Always go after your most pressing need.  I'm still sort of up in the air with Figgins but that depends on the deal length. ...
