The forgotten man?

The Angels blogosphere has been alive with conversations on a diverse range of topics this season. Every player on the roster has been dissected and discussed, except one. Jose Guillen has apparently had an uninspiring season in the view of Angels fans.

Want to talk about David Eckstien? How about his low OBP? Of course there's been endless talk about Vladimir Guererro. And Garret Anderson. We can't shut-up about Ramon Ortiz. Even Jeff DaVannon, Chone Figgins, and Josh Paul have had their time in the sun. But not a peep about Jose Guillen.
