t feels like just a few months ago you said you'd gladly trade organizations with LAA; maybe it was longer, i dunno, i can't remember everything since their steamrolling that resulted in 0 playoff wins, they traded their 5-win 2B for a pitching prospect, which leads one to wonder if they do in fact have a limited budget they have roughly $95M committed next year to... Pujols - 1.8 WAR for the last calendar year CJ Wilson - 1.2 Jered Weaver - 1.9 Hamilton - a member of the Texas Rangers organization so they're set up pretty well to squander the prime years of a generational/all-time great player; if that's not worthy of derision, then i guess not really anything is
