Is Teixeira the final piece to the Angels' Puzzle?

Many experts have said that the Angels have the best pitching, great defense, great speed, but they need one more big bat to win it all.

Well, they're hoping First Baseman Mark Teixeira is the answer.

The way they've been playing lately, you might not think they needed another bat and Casey Kotchman has been heating up.

What do you think? Is this the right thing to do? Will it secure a championship for the Halos? Or did they give up too soon on the promising Kotchman? Could they have won it all without this trade?

Dear Elton... 'What the @#$%???' - Baron

Say it isn't so, Elton!

Seriously, you're going to Philly??

Perhaps you haven't been around the past few days, but did you know that I made a verbal agreement with the Clippers? That's right, I was planning on coming to L.A. to play with you and make us instant contenders in the Western Conference next year. Isn't that the whole reason you did the 'wink, wink' opt-out move so that you could restructure and the team could make room for my contract?

What the heck's gotten into you? Dude, call or text me ASAP, we need to talk.

With you and Cory gone, I'm basically going to have to lead a young team through the west that has as little, if not less, talent than the one I am leaving. What the deuce are you doing to me? Andre Miller is no Baron Davis, E.B... that boy is going to shoot first, feed A.I.2 second, and dish to you under the hoop third.

What about the unspoken agreement? What about the City of Angels? What about all that Clippers pride???? (okay, maybe that's a stretch)

Anyway Elton, please clear your head and give me a buzz. If not, I may have to send my pal, the Zohan after you to fix this. Believe me, E.B., you don't want that. Did you see that Jedi mind crap he pulled on me in that NBA Playoffs commercial?

This is all kinds of nuts, Elton. You're screwing up everything. Don't go to Philly. There's still time. I'll even shave my beard if you stay.

Call me,
Baron
