How the west was lost
The Finley deal is done according to Peter Gammons. The press conference will be held at 4:30. That sound you hear? That's just the Angels plummeting to the bottom of the AL West...
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. There doesn't seem to be any other way to look at it - Moreno is being a cheap bastard. If you figure that the Angels had $25-30 million to play with to put the payroll at $100 million (which is where Stoneman has put the 2005 payroll figure), and Finley/Cabrerra are going to bring in $10-12 million, where is the rest of that money going? The Angels are out of the Pedro Martinez sweepstakes. They were never really in on Pavano. They can't afford The Unit. So where is it going? "Nowhere" is the most likely answer.
The Angels have become the Mariners South.
