Los Angeles Angels Sign OF Torii Hunter

The Angels bounced back on Wednesday by signing free agent Torii Hunter to a 5-year, $80 million dollar contract. Look, Hunter’s not a bad player, but he’s also not worth $80 mil. Artie Moreno must be out of his freakin’ mind. Why isn’t he going after the big fish Miguel Cabrera? Between Hunter and Gary Matthews, Jr., the Angels have over $130 million tied up. We all know that Hunter had a career year last year but maybe, just maybe it had to do with the “contract year.” You’d think the Angels would learn a thing after signing Matthews right after his contract/steroid year. Think again. Reports are that the Angels will start Garrett Anderson in left, Vladimir in right and Hunter in center. Ummmm, someone forget about the $50 million Matthews? That’s a lot of $$$ for someone to be “spelling” the outfielders and/or being a DH. Maybe they can trade him for some batting cage balls?
