6-4-2 — an Angels/Dodgers double play blog (Free subscription) | 12/03/2009

After the Dodgers' fiasco (perhaps mitigated by a pre-signing deal with Wolf etc., but you've gotta wonder given the rumors ), the Angels sensibly offered both Chone Figgins and John Lackey arbitration . Vlad Guerrero, Darren Oliver, Robb Quinlan, and Kelvim Escobar weren't offered arb. I'll suppress any snerks about how one should run a franchise; the Angels have made plenty in my time watching them....

Indians Notes: Pavano, Free Agent Options

MLB Trade Rumors (Free subscription) | 11/29/2009

Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer explains that the Indians would have been hesitant to offer Carl Pavano arbitration if they hadn't traded him to the Twins. After a healthy season, he could command close to $10MM if offered arbitration and the Indians are reluctant to commit that much to the righty, though they may end up bringing him back. Here's more on some free agents the Indians may consider:...

It sure seems odd that the Angels continue to win against the A's despite the fact that they're basically coasting waiting for the season to end. The Angels won largely on Robb Quinlan's bat, with Q knocking in three of the Halos' four runs. Scott Kazmir also had a good outing, going five scoreless innings. The A's scored their two runs in Jason Bulger's eighth inning appearance. The Angels knocked...

Slamming the door on Texas' faint hopes for the postseason, and forcing an Angels rematch with ancient nemesis Boston, the Angels beat Scott Feldman for only the first time this year in a relatively tight but ultimately satisfying outing. The Angels led from Bobby Abreu's first-inning solo homer on; Robb Quinlan in what may be one of his last LAAoA appearances did absolutely nothing, but Chris Pettit...

The Angels eventually hided Andy Pettite, one or two runs at a time over the course of the three runs the long-in-the-tooth Yankees starter gave up over six innings. The Angels cruised and never trailed, with Hokie Joe Saunders posting a phenomenal game, getting to within two outs of a complete game. Despite Brian Fuentes' best attempts to make it interesting (including a long fly ball to Nick Swisher...
