As a fantasy baseballer, I am pleased that Chone Figgins will be sent back to second base so he doesn't lose his elegibility for it in 2008.

i heard Figgins is actually going to be playing third since they couldn't land Aramis Ramirez. Howie Kendrick is the second baseman of the present/future.

Maybe the worst deal so far this offseason. Although I think Juan Pierre's is worse. Soriano's was just bad, but at least he'll do something over the next couple of years.

yea, my LA teams are both reaching. i dont know if its desperation or what but Pierre and Matthews are not impact signings although they got paid like they are. Angels are still after Manny and looks like they might give up the same players that they refused to last year - Santana, Shields, some top prospects. Such desperation

I would rather pay Alfonso Soriano $50 million A YEAR, with all of Soriano's shortcomings in mind, than pay Garry Mathews Jr. $50 million over five years. It would be a better investment.

>>23845 At least if you overpaid Soriano, you'd get steals and homers. Matthews did OKAY in a contract season, and will probably stink it up next year.
I'm still fuming.

As an A's fan, I love this deal. $50 million for a backup outfielder?

I don't get how there's so much commotion over paying $51 million for Daisuke ("Die-soo-kee" if you ask ESPN) Matsuzaka, and nobody even flinches over this Gary Matthews bullshit.

Yes I know, I too am an Angel fan. Art Moreno said he was gonna pull some major strings. I thought he was implying Manny Ramirez, A-rod, or Soriano. Mega BUllShit.

As a diehard Dodger fan and Angel hater, I must extend my congratulations to the Angels, since your bad contract for Matthews is far better that our bad contract for Pierre. At least Matthews is not the premier out-maker in the major leagues.
