And I think the Angels were interested, but only if they cannot sign Mark Teixeira, which is still an open question. As I heard it, one of the reasons Omar moved earlier on this than usual (Santana was signed in February was because he didn't want to eventually be competing with the Angels if they don't sign Teixeira.Side Barhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612970173870600320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2822678093661476153.post-33263959606891991662008-12-12T10:33:00.000-05:002008-12-12T10:33:00.000-05:00The Angels have this guy, Jose Arredondo, who's on...The Angels have this guy, Jose Arredondo, who's only 24 and had a sick year last year. They're gonna use him to replace K-Rod. Also, the Mets weren't the only team who wanted K-Rod; they're just the only team who could afford him. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I'm still a bit concerned about K-Rod's velocity being down and his K/BB taking a dive last year. I hope he's not already washed up.<BR/><BR/>But either way, it was the right move for the money. Thank frigging Christ Omar didn't give him that Sabathia-esque 5-year/$75M deal.Open Barhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01296373954499786645noreply@blogger.com
