... back? If not whom will they target as a replacement? My fear is that they replaced Lackey with Kazmir in August. Not a "fear" like being afraid of death, but more than a worry. Escobar is done I think. 2. I feel as if Chone Figgins is going to get overpaid this offseason. Will the Angels be the ones to overpay? If not how will they replace them? I hope they are not the ones who...

Halladay To The Angels Is Just What The ‘Doc’ Ordered

... former Blue Jays General Manager J.P. Ricciardi demanded too much and the Angels settled for Scott Kazmir instead. Good thing “former” is now part of his job title. With the bullheaded Ricciardi gone, the Angels once again find themselves the lead dogs in the hunt for Halladay, and this time around the price is just right. This, thanks to Halladay’s recent comments about his status with...
