Saunders is a bargain if you look at his numbers over the last two years. Joe Saunders was 16-7 with a 4.60 ERA last year and has a 33-14 record in the last two seasons. This is a great bargain at $3.7 million for a young 28 year old with good numbers and on a good team.

In addition to his base salary, he can earn $50,000 in performance bonuses – $25,000 each for 180 and 200 innings—and award bonuses.

The Anaheim Angels made the right move in resigning Saunders in 2010. This resigning will make them a better team and one that will compete with the Mariners.

Johnny Damon is still looking for a job, but has his price gone down?

Gary Matthews gets $500K for being traded, and he is set to make $11MM in 2010 and $12MM in 2011. The Angels will pick up most of the tab for this deal. New York Met fans REJOICE.

Gary Matthews Jr. hit .250, 4 Hrs and 50 RBIs in 103 games for the Angels. He has a life time average of .258 and he is a defensive liability. He turns 36 on August 25, 2010. The Mets have nothing to lose and if Matthews has a year like he did in 2006, the Mets will shine bright.

This move has stink all over it and for Mets fans, the skunk is in Angels land, so don’t worry.

The Angels are reaching, but sometimes one of those reaches MAY prove to be the cherry on top. I heard this rumor that Jim Thome is available hint-hint.

Met fans REJOICE!
