He was sent down to AAA at salt lake .Optioned just means in his contract the angels can bring him up for the minors or put him back as they wish. Give em another year he,s just not ready yet for the show.But he is doing well at the moment.

Last year they talked about the NL "worst", this year it's starting to look like the AL "worst". Hey I'd like to see the Dodgers and the Angels in the series but I don't think it'll happen this year. I guess it's still early enough in the season that anything could happen. However, in order for the Angels to even get to the playoffs, they'll have to change the way they're playing. Right now I'd put my money on the A's in the AL west and either of the Sox or the Cards to win the Series.

Sorry, but I don't play video games, so I don't know if this fits your criteria.  I think Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals is one of the purest players I've ever seen.  I'm not a fan of the team, but I think he's an amazing player.

Frank Thomas will be a HR or nothing type of guy.  He is a major liability on the bases and his bat speed is not the same it was.  (I watched him all year last year) as an A's fan.  He is a great infulance on the team but don't be shocked if he does not repeat what he did last year.......

Everybody in the American League West has a chance to win the division, which is the weakest in the league.  The Angels will get a big lift if Bartolo Colon returns to form after coming off the disabled list, but they'll need somebody other than Vladimir Guerrero to start hitting.  They'd better pray that Mike Napoli can get the job done behind the plate, because right now Bronson Arroyo has a higher slugging percentage than Jose Molina.  The Angels have the starting pitching, with Lackey, Escobar, Santana, Colon, and one of the Weavers in the rotation, but they need to bring in a bat or two and some bullpen help.

The Angels!  With the late addition of Jeff Weaver, the Angels now have 5 "high" quality starters - Bartolo Colon, Jaoh Lackey, Jeff Weaver, Kelvin Escobar, and Ervin Santana.  Also, the Angels have an excellent bullpen.  With the additions of Hector Carrasco and J.C. Romero, along with returning stars, Scot Shields, Brenden Donnelly, and "K-Rod," the Angels have one of the elite pitching staffs in Major League Baseball!!!!

Gosh, aside from "Starwoode", above, who appears to be a human with the intellect of a potato bug (how would you like meeting her, drunk?  Can you spell EZ?),\n\nI'd really like to meet King Abdullah, of Jordan.  Weird huh?\nWell, I would like to know this man, and be able to speak my own mind to him, thinking that he'd be listening to what I have to say, maybe.....\nEither King Abdullah, or Santa Claus.  With Santa, I'd bring up the Lexus 300 I wanted, but never got.  Watts up wid dat, man??\n\nand to you, Aaron... Scott Rolen?? good choice, there.  that gives me my chance to add my signature.....\n\nAint Baseball just the very best Game ever??

No, Kemp is not that good.  Don't take him.  And, though I am not an Angels fan, I would like to see Napoli as the starting catcher, cuz hes pretty good.

For the time being the Angels should not trade Jeff Weaver because first of all the Angels don't know if Colon is healthy. He is scheduled to pitch Sunday however, in his last rehab start he pitched very poorly. Which leads me to believe that he is not healthy. If that's the case he might need shoulder surgery which would put him back in the DL which will open up a spot in the rotation and they'll be able to bring back Jered.\n\nSecondly, his last 5 starts have been really good (only given up 3 earn runs or less) and had it not been for the bad defense he would have won a couple of more games. A perfect example is yesterdays game, he pitched a great game but his defense let him down at least 3 times in 1 game. \n\nNow if Colon is healthy they should consider trading Jeff so that they can open up a spot for Jered. However, most of the rumors circulating involve trading Santana which I think, they should not do because he is still young only 23 years old and has a lot of upside. Another thing the Angels should consider doing is moving Kevin Gregg down to the minors and putting Escobar in the bullpen he's just dominant out of the pen. And then they would be able to put Jered in Escobar's spot (for this season only as I think Escobar is a very good starting pitcher).

When I heard about Pujols, I thought the same thing as Georgie Porgie... what a whiner he was, and how great Derek Jeter looks in comparison... \n\nWhen the Yankees were winning their four world championships in the late 90s, the MVP awards went to the Texas Rangers (3 times) and the Oakland A's (once)... does Pujols think we need to take those MVP awards back?\n\nIf the CArdinals didn't play in such a sorry division, they couldn't have made the playoffs to begin with....it's not Ryan Howard's fault that the Mets ran away with the division this year...and, as someone pointed out earlier, the Phillies did have a better record than the Cardinals anyway...\n\nAlbert is a jerk, he needs to shut up...

Did I read one response correctly?  If Albert Pujols went to the AL he would be trash?  I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that was sarcasm at it's finest.\n\nThe Cardinals would not be what they are without Albert Pujols, that is obvious...I believe they would still contend in the division with the NL Central being fairly weak this year.  The pitching would carry them if he was not here in St. Louis, but offensively, they would only be average.\n\nA lineup without Albert Pujols in it would look something like this:\n\nEckstein SS\nLuna/Spiezio 1B\nEdmonds CF\nRolen 3B\nEncarnacion RF\nBigbie/Taguchi/J-Rod LF\nMolina C\nMiles 2B\nPitcher spot....\n\nThat lineup is not even close to being scary...and it could be jumbled around in many different ways and still be pretty average.  All Hail Albert Pujols...

The Anaheim Angels.  The yankees are garbage.

A healthy Gagne, another quality set-up man and for God's sake, quit with the interleague games!!!\n\nSeriously, it looks like Coletti has made another move to shore up the starting rotation, trading Jae Seo and Dioner Navarro to the Devil Rays for Mark Hendrickson and Toby Hall. Brett Tomko went on the 15 day DL as well, so I think Ned's dealing days aren't over yet...

That's funny! Made me laugh out loud.  I understand the reference to Jesus because in Genesis 1:1 it says, "In the Big Inning" :) I didn't know Mary played baseball! Actually, I always thought Johnny Damon looked like a smaller version of a mountain man. :)

Did all you sox fans die during the past month? Boston will land him. Theo knows he needs to add a spark to a rotation with an old and possibly retiring Schilling, a not 100% healthy Wakefield, and a Beckett who has too many head problems he needs to work through.  GO SOX!!! 2007  (according to espn only 5 teams bid, nyy bos tex i know for sure, but the press conference will be held today so we'll find out by tomorrow.)

I say jump on Jon Lester 1st & Jered Weaver 2nd.  I know Weaver has been sent down, but he'll be back into the Angels rotation soon enough.\n\nCouple Lester w/ that Boston offense, I think you have a potential winner there.  Just my opinion though.

I think that the Cards will win tonight ending their 8 game losing streak and it won't happen again for another 300 years or something. I don't know about what's going on with the pitchers but lets hope they snap back into it like they were last year and year before. The Cards Rule  and everyone else SUX. I just hope Carpenter can get his game back on for tonight.\nGo CARDS Hit a HR Pujols!!!!!
