Carlos Lee Traded to Rangers

It is a relief, in my opinion, that Carlos Lee was traded from the Milwaukee Brewers to the Texas Rangers. The Tigers absolutely did not need another slugging outfielder (e.g. Marcus Thames, Craig Monroe) who bats from the right side. If they are going to make a trade, the player that makes sense is Phillies outfielder Bobby Abreu. It would also be fine with me if Alfonso Soriano was dealt to the Houston Astros or another NL club.

The team that scares me as the playoffs get nearer is the Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles California near Hollywood but not quite to Malibu and certainly not San Francisco, Oakland, or Sacramento but certainly all California (or whatever they're calling themselves these days!) The Twins also scare me because their pitching is GOOD.

What do you think?
