Angels Step Up

For a couple of years now the Angels have held on to their talent pool so tightly, it started to frustrate their fanbase. I suspect they have been taking a page out of Oakland’s Moneyball, being in the same division. Finally, today, the Angels stepped up and dealt for a huge piece in pursuit of the Championship, dealing Casey Kotchman and a minor league pitcher for Mark Teixeira! He’s the power the Angels have needed to get over the top.
As it is, they are at the top! a full 3.5 games over the Chicago Cubs for the best record in the majors. Almost more meaningful is their recent dominance over the Red Sox, sweeping the last series and winning last night!
This is our year!

I really, really hate to see Kotch go. He was amazing at first and was doing great with his bat this year, especially recently. But I agree, we’ve needed another big bat for the past few seasons. If Teixeira can provide that, as well as being the gold glove that Kotch was at first, we just may be the team to beat this year. Go Angels!
