Mondesi inks deal?
Dominican Players (link via 6-4-2) is reporting that the Angels and Raul Mondesi have agreed to terms. Well shit.
The Register reported today that Mondesi would play center for the Halos, which is slightly better then the prospects of Guillen in center. Let's look at the positives:
- He's another bat. That can only be a good thing.
- This gives the Angels the three best arms in baseball, all in the same outfield.
- Ummm... Raul makes a mean pound-cake?
Now the negatives:
- The Angels add a club-house cancer.
- The Angels seem to be admiting that either Anderson or Salmon will not be returning. You think Raul is an asshole now? Just wait 'till he's sitting on the bench.
- He's overpaid, no doubt.
- Major downgrade in center
- Likely ends the Angels search for a third-baseman
As I said before, I like the sentiment, just not the execution. A bat is good, but this is not the way to go.
