Angels sign Morales
It's not a rumor anymore - the Angels have agreed to terms with Cuban defector Kendry Morales. No word on money.
Personally I know nothing about Morales, but from what I've gathered, he's got scary good power, but is completely lost with the glove (he plays OF, 1B, and 3B - all of them poorly). Word is the Angels would do well to give him at least a year of minor league seasoning, so don't expect to see him in the DH slot anytime soon.
This leaves the Weaver negotiations in a interesting position, as the Angels were threatening to use Weaver's signing-bonus money on Morales. I would assume this means the Weaver talks are dead in the water (if they weren't before).
