And we're off

Last night at midnight the deadline to file for free agency passed. And with that, let the bidding begin on what promises to be a hectic and expensive free agent market.

I was hoping to write this entry with a bit of excitement and a lot of hope, but it isn't going to start that way. But alas, Aramis Ramirez signed a five-year deal to remain with the Cubs. I really wasn't expecting this one. As late as yesterday it was reported that he'd turned down a 5-year deal with the Cubs, and that the Angels were prepared to make an offer as early as today.

Power at 3rd base is something we can desperately use, but power is the imperative word. And while what many think was the best fit for the Angels in the free agnet market is now gone, there are others out there.

Soon enough we'll see a big signing and/or big trade bringing a big name to tha Angels.

But not this morning.
