Yeah, losing Glaus totally bummed me out. Loved that guy, though he'd gotten a bit injury prone over the last couple seasons. Sounded like the Dodgers were in talks with him too. Wish he could've at least stayed in town. But the D'backs would be my third choice though, since that's where my parents live, and I like to root for those teams a little as well...
I don't blame Glaus for leaving though, and don't really consider him to have just been chasing the money. Angels were going to let him go regardless, I think. He could've offered to take a pay cut and Moreno would've still ditched him in favor of young (and unproven) Dallas McPherson, who they can practically get for the minimum (for now). So Glaus has pretty much been a lame duck player for the past several months.
Sucks though, since he was Mr. Clutch come playoff time - in both the World Series run, and this past season (despite the early exit). Gonna miss him. Percy too, though that move was pretty obvious when Troy said he didn't want the setup role to K-Rod. Halos let their resident hot head go too. Times, they are a changin'...
Hopefully they'll still make some noise on the free agent market though, now that they've cleared some space.
Wonder if the always idle Dodgers will pull their heads outta the sand long enough to do something as well. Not holding my breath on that one though. Plus, they're surely gonna lose Beltre...
In closing, I'd just like to say that
the Twins suck.
