Subj : Anaheim Angels To : Rob Swindell From : Joe Siegler Date : Wed Feb 28 2001 04:28 am -> Yes, but as a fan I hold hope eternal. :-) Our young arms are very promising -> and we have even more in the minors, so the future is bright. And I expect -> our offense to be as good or even better than last year, so I the pitching -> would necessarily have to improve _that_ much. You traded away Seth Etherton, which surprised me a lot. I didn't think he was trade bait - what was the deal there? -> I think he'll make a good DH. Perfect candidate (if he stays healthy, the -> big "if"). If we can improve over Mo defensively at first (which shouldn't -> be TOO hard), then I think he'll make up the offensive difference. Well, he still gets booed a lot here - when he was in Texas there were the stories that he beat his wife. I know a lot of people boo him for that. -> I'm looking forward to the start of the season VERY much. The off-season is -> just too damn long... :-) Next season's might be even longer. :( Joe --- QScan/PCB v1.20a / 02-5150 * Origin: The Arsenal of Freedom - From the land of ARod! (1:124/9006) .
