LOL I didn't even check the dates of the first posts. I opened the thread thinking "Why the hell are we after Chone Figgins now? What happened to Bradley and Ibanez and those guys?"

I saw that there was five pages, and it'd only been 20 mins since I last checked the transactions forums... so I figured it was a done deal and got very sad.

Ok, Angels looking at Inge to play 3rd. So it appears they want more power production out of 3rd than Figgins offers full time. Dero, best position is 3rd and hits for more power than Figgins.

 

How bout Dero for Figgins? Slide Figgins in at second base and bat leadoff. Still have Fontenot as a spot starter at 2nd and ss and Figgins can play some in OF. We lose right handed pop, but get left handed speed. Which is something we want. They get more pop out of their third baseman, who can also play elsewhere.

 

This GM stuff is easy! lol

It sure gets easy if you enjoy making terrible decisions.

I already hate this thread.

Might want to change the title though to not freak anyone out.

Or confuse anyone like you did me. It took me 2 pages to realize that it was a year old lol.

Fuentes, a free agent who could command a deal in the three-year, $30-million range, but if they don't sign the left-hander
