Is that more or less?Quote:
@Alden_Gonzalez: #Angels have signed LH RP Sean Burnett to a 2-year deal with a club option, source said. Pending physical. @Alden_Gonzalez: Sean Burnett's deal, which is essentially done, is believed to be south of what Fujikawa signed for. #Angels. @Alden_Gonzalez: I'm told by a source that the signing of Burnett has "no effect" on their pursuit of a starting pitcher. Still not totally out on Greinke.
Hopefully it's no more than 2 years/8M
Yes!! We got the guy that I wanted and our bullpen is complete now!!!! :D
Wise move, Dipoto. I like this. Another middle relief LHP was needed, for sure. Maybe one more for the 'pen and at least one more SP?

Nevermind, the bullpen should be complete. Just get another SP, Jerry.
I still wouldn't mind signing Adams or Uehara or someone better than Downs/JepsenQuote:

Especially if we are going the cheap starter route
Yay!! I like the move. I thought the Dodgers would sign him after they lost Randy Choate.
The contract seems good also. I'm glad we didn't have to go to 3 yrs.

@MikeDiGiovanna: Can confirm Sean Burnett's two-year deal with option for third year, pending physical, with #Angels, who should have much better bullpen.
I still wouldn't mind adding Adams or Wilson as well.
Is Downs one of the four?Quote:
@JeffFletcherOCR: Sean Burnett is one of only 4 LH relievers to have an ERA under 4.00 and at least 50 IP each of the past four years. #Angels
Edit: nope only 46 IP in 2009, 45 in 2012
Hardly no one was better than Downs for a year and a half. I dunno what happened last summer, but I sure hope it was temporary.Quote:

As a disclaimer... I am of the belief that you need a solid 1-2 punch of Starting pitching to make any kind of noise in the playoffs.... thats why I am so addement that we need Greinke to sign.
