Another move for the Halos today, Morales for Jason Vargas. Personally speaking I think its a good move. Although Morales seemed to find himself in the latter half of the year, Vargas is a solid 3-4 starter posting a 3.85 ERA with 5.8 K/9, 2.3 BB/9 and a 40.2% ground ball rate. What will also help in the off-season, IF he puts up good numbers, is the fact that he's local as he went to Long Beach State with Weaver. Good to see the Angels focusing on all aspects of the game this year, and not showing trust in Richards or Jerome is a good move I think. The depth will be there when they're needed.

The Angels are looking solid from almost every angle this year. They have shored up the bullpen with Madsen and Burnett. Hopefully Madsen can regain his form and become what he used to be, a lock down closer. Ernie will be a solid setup man I think alongside Burnett who can also put away the right hander.

Trout,Pujols,Hamilton, Trumbo (if he shows pre-all star form) will be one of the best 1-3-4-5 in the game.

On the defensive side, the Angels have a gold-glove caliber starter at almost every position. Trumbo projects as a DH as it sits now.
Of course all of this relies on everyone staying healthy, which did NOT happen last year. Only time will tell, as it always does, but one thing that can be said for sure is it will be an exciting season.

So what's going on with your team? Thoughts? Projections? Let's hear it. Nothing like some good banter to get ready for the best time of the year.
