They buy and make the Dodgers profitable it turns LA into a "Sports winning town"

Dodgers will be profitable once again.

My short list of owners I want would be Mark Cuban, AEG and Eli Broad.

Old rich guys are lining up to bid, that's for damn sure.

Angels win/lose the lottery!

I have 2 problems with this signing....I am not an Angel fan, so this view is strictly business/winning related.

1. I know why Artie offered 10 years and no trade clause. Get him under any means necessary type thing. What is the Angels success measure? Win 2 titles in 5 years? 4 in 10 years? I ask because the Angels may have a $25 million a year DH and will Angel fans still love him if this is the case and possibly no titles. We all know why Albert switched to the American league.

2. What made Pujols so successful in St. Louis was his ability to reek havoc on starting and relieving pitchers. Will inserting him in the lineup work? Does Artie trust Abreu, Hunter and Wells? How big does Trumbo now become as the leader in HR and RBI's last season? I feel that a mid-season trade/signing may be necessary based on first half production. Is Artie ready for Pujols to lay an egg?

3. Artie wanted to show up Ned Colleti.

This is going to be the story all year. I hope Pujols can handle the pressure...and the other 8 in the lineup.

After so many seasons of the Angels being in the running for the top free agents on the markets and then getting denied at the last minute (i.e. Carl Crawford, Texiera, Cliff Lee), its honestly a tad strange to see them make this deal so quickly. I guess Dipoto is trying to beat his predecessors. On the other hand, I think they paid a tad too much for CJ Wilson. Ace Jared Weaver's contract is only about 7 million more than CJ's, and Weaver, in my opinion, is a much more elite pitcher. But hell, what do I know?

[ucsdguy]

not so much..
