(AP Photo/Charlie Riedel) Browse more photos » On this date in 2006, 3 years ago today, Halos Heaven went on record as saying that the Angels signing of Gary Matthews Jr. was a stupid thing and, in the first of three posts from that sad day, held out hope that another team would swoop in and sign the free agent outfielder.

To no one's surprise ... -Q: Holliday and Bay are the big names… Have you gauged their possible interest? Do you think either of those guys would have genuine interest in coming to the Giants? -SABEAN: We have not. I don’t think that they would have genuine interest based on the field that they’re going to be involved in. Why would they? I think Sabean's a little cheektender from...

The void that will be created with the departures of John Lackey , Chone Figgins , Darren Oliver , and Vladimir Guerrero will be felt long after they sign new contracts with their new teams. Lackey is a true number one Ace, Figgins is a true lead off hitter and has great defensive skills, Oliver isn't only a lefty specialist, and Vladimir was the face of the franchise. But like Tony Reagins said on...

It is the one deal the Angels simply can't avoid this offseason, the one acquisition that never has been more obvious than it is today. We're talking, of course, about the signing of Gary Matthews Jr. No, not again, but the first time, which, much like the undying TV career of Tim McCarver, has turned out to be more than enough for everyone. Painfully more. No matter what the Angels do or don't do...

First there was the error. A century later, we finally have the natural antithesis to the error: the Web Gem. The good people over at ESPN track all the best defensive plays in baseball on a daily basis, and come up with that short minute segment which is often a highlight of my night. This year, they began keeping track of who made each Web Gem, and were kind enough to share the data with me. Web...

The flipside. One player you’re absolutely terrified that the Giants will sign. Cull free agent list , and name your guy. I have three nominations for coveted Annual Gary Matthews, Jr. Do Not Want Award: The Overpaid, Overcommitted, and Over Here Jason Bay will get close to $100M, and that just might work for an AL team. Bay’s a remarkably consistent hitter, and he’s been healthy...

Hardly a week had gone by since the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim were eliminated from the playoffs before they hit their first offseason obstacle. His name is Gary Matthews, Jr. In what will likely be an emotional and turbulent offseason for the Angels, who saw no less than three star players and several more reserves filing [...]

I found this at MLBtraderumors.com: All the worthless players like Wily Taveras, Gary Matthews Jr., Milton Bradley etc should have to play out their contracts on their own special team – let’s say, the Purgatory Specials – and barnstorm America challenging little league teams and softball champions. It’d make some great reality TV. Posted by: Monroe Says [...]

It's been reported that the markets for Matt Holliday is between five teams; the Cardinals, Yankees, Dodgers, Angels and Mets... With Scott Boras as his agent this will be a long and drawn out process with at least one mystery teams and numerous rumors. But if all shakes out right the Mets could be the only team truly involved in the Holliday sweepstakes. Lets include Boston since they're on the east...

The Chicago Cubs have denied they've been in talks with the Toronto Blue Jays about a trade that would send troubled outfielder Milton Bradley north of the border in exchange for Vernon Wells. But that doesn't mean the Cubs aren't looking to deal Bradley after only one year of his three-year, $30 million contract. ESPN reports that the Tampa Bay Rays (for Pat Burrell), Texas Rangers, and California...

- Nick Steiner takes a look at Milton Bradley using Pitch F/X data and comes away impressed. The fact that Bradley has such a bad year - and it wasn't even that bad - can be placed solely on a huge drop in ISO from his previously established norms. His plate discipline and contact skills were just as good as they were in 08 and the year before that, and there is no evidence that the drop in ISO is...
