L.A. Times: Angels have a new shopping list (RR)

The Angels remained in contact with Fuentes’ agent, Rick Thurman, while the Teixeira saga played out, and the former Colorado Rockies left-hander has moved to the top of the Angels’ priority list.

The feelings are mutual. Fuentes, who was 1-5 with a 2.73 earned-run average and 30 saves last season and held left-handers to a .184 average, has said the Angels are his top choice.

“They’re still high on my list—they always have been,” Fuentes said by phone from his home in Merced, Calif. “It looks like they’re out of the market for Teixeira. They’ll draw up a new plan, and hopefully I’ll be a part of it.”

Thanks to Conjunto.

This Fuentes dude is tampering with himself.

Oh yeah! I totally forgot that guy existed!

The 33-year-old, who has a 17-27 record and 3.41 ERA in seven seasons, would either replace closer Francisco Rodriguez, who signed a three-year, $37-million deal with the New York Mets, or be a set-up man for Scot Shields or Jose Arredondo should either win the closer job.


I know he lost his job for a while, but is he really going to sign up for an open competition?

If I were going to sign with a good team I'd sign for whatever reason. Fuentes would be a great addition to this pen. But penciling him in as closer would be silly. Dondo, Shields and Fuentes would be a great 1, 2, 3 in any bullpen. Closer by committee is the right move IMO.

If Fuentes had the chance, he'd ask the world to tamper.

I would have to think he'd have to be guaranteed the closer job, because other teams like Cleveland and St. Louis will offer him the closing job.

This Fuentes dude is tampering with himself.


Is that legal?
