Angels going for best rotation ever?
The lack of free agent news out there, along with reports that Jake Peavy would be willing to be traded to the Los Angeles Angels, has sparked this scenario:
Could the Angels be going for the best rotation ever?
An MLB.com story presented that Wednesday. The Angels seem to be the leader for free agent CC Sabathia, and they already have John Lackey, Joe Saunders, Ervin Santana and Jered Weaver.
So if they deal Weaver to the Padres as part of a package for Peavy - the 2007 NL Cy Young winner - then could we see a rotation of Peavy, Sabathia, Lackey, Saunders and Santana in 2009?
That's three No. 1 starters and two solid No. 2s, in my estimation. And they're all 30 or younger. That's easily the best since Maddux-Glavine-Smoltz-Millwood of the late 1990s in Atlanta, and probably better.
"Man, I'd love to be part of something like that. Who wouldn't?" eight-time Gold Glove center fielder Torii Hunter told MLB.com. "... Great pitching wins championships."
