I originally designed this for Halos Heaven the best Angel Community site on the Interwebs, prior to the Trade Deadline. I was against the Angels pursuing anyone but pitching. Because even last year, towards the trade deadline I wasn't confident that Lackey would be coming back. And Figgins was the only guy I could see being traded from the Major League Roster. Looking at this picture though is kind of depressing. I was hoping Lackey would return to the Halos-- He gone. I was hoping Vlad would retire an Angel-- He gone. And of course Figgins and Darren Oliver also left the team, along with Escobar and Arrendondo.
With all that being said, the Angels I think had to make that move for Kazmir. And I think that move alone will really make a positive impact for the Angels in 2010. And it looks like I need to make a new graphic to include the Diamond Aces of; Weaver, Kazmir, Santana, Saunders, and Piniero.
