Vladimir Guerrero won his sixth silver slugger award with a solid 2006 campaign. It’s the third time that he’s walked away with the award while with the Angels.
The Angels are one of the teams in the running for exlusive negotiating rights for Japanese super star Daisuke Matsuzaka. This is the guy who pitched Japan to a championship in the first World Baseball Classic but I’m worried about how much money might be spent on this guy. It seems like Japanese players have just as much of a chance to be only good as they have of being superstars like Ichiro.
And finally, the Angels lost their pitching coach. Bud Black became the manager of the San Diego Padres this week.
