I don't know if I like that trade. Kotchman has been playing solid and only getting better.

kotchman made me mad when he went down looking with two on and two outs agains the red sux a couple weeks back. he was pretty solid, hopefully this pans out well for the angels.

[ghixon]

'bout time they got some protection for Vlad. Now, what to do with GA? Move him to the 6 spot maybe.

I like him........but Teixeria has the same BA with almost twice the HR's.

The Halo's line up looks really solid.

This should be GA's last year with the Angels....should go out like Salmon.

I really liked krotchman. He is a solid player with offensive and defensive skills. i've followed his progression ever since he got pulled up from the minors.

I like Kotch too. But if you followed his career. He's injury prone. Not always his fault as lots of times they were freak things. But nonetheless he's missed a lot of time. He's a solid player, but getting somebody with more pop come playoff time is nice.

Besides, the Angels didn't give up any starting pitchers, any relievers or any top level prospects.. Plus, plus on that.

He is a switch hitter............not like the STR Chowda's (FYM or Evil C) but you know what I mean.

If they are unable to sign Tex to a contract after the season, this move sux...if they do, we should all be happy that Moreno is butt rich.

Kotchman was a fan favorite like (but not as much) Eckstein was. Tex will be under some high expectations from the fans.

Well if we lose Tex, possible b/c his agent is Boras, and he'll ask for the farm next year.

We still got the Cuban defect Kendry Morales. At AAA this year he's on pace to hit >.300, 30hrs, 120RBIs if you project his numbers out after 55 games.

[SoCalSnipe]

Go Dodgers!!!!

[Shu]

If we don't sign borASS's client we will get 2 top draft picks also....I like the move b/c now Izzy doesn't have to bat 3rd....

Question about Vlad...he's a regular season witch....and they have been blaming his woo's in the post season on "no protection"....he has NEVER had protection on either team he's played on....could it be that he is just one of those players that doesn't perform in the post season???? there are a LOT o fGREAT players that fall off in post season....A-Rod for example and he has TONS of protection....

if he splits than the Halo's get draft picks..........

The time to win IS NOW

[Fired Yo Momma]

Blah blah blah dood we alll know how the Halos play in the post season. I am expecting another dismisal for the Halos. I am just hoping the Sox don't have to play them.

[Pain Freak]

I thought it was an excellent move. It's a win/win for the Halo's.
If he stays = good
If he leaves = good

[CalEpic]

I hate to Kotch go but this is a good move. Teixeira is MONEY!

Being a life-long Angels fan I've learned not to get cocky this early in the season but damn, they look strong right now.

+1 on that. Sometimes it's rough being an Angel's fan.
