Good News, Bad News

Bad news first: Mondesi thinks he can return this year, and wants to come back on the Angels roster before the All Star break, and says -- apparently with a straight face -- he could be back in as few as "2 1/2, maybe three weeks."

There are times I wish I couldn't read. All this is going to do is take at bats away from Salmon and DaVanon.

Good news: the Angels have started discussions with Jered Weaver, even though Scouting Director Eddie Bane calls the proceedings thus far "baby steps".

Not quite so good news: Nick Adenhart still hasn't signed, and Bane considers him "a longshot". But...

Good news: 23 of 48 draft picks have signed.

Update: Bad news, if you can call it that: Erstad dislocated his middle finger on a checked swing. I guess it beats a sneeze as a reason to go on the DL, but not by much. No word on whether he'll actually go on the DL, though.


Comments:
What a $#$$ surprise. Well, it's good news if Quinlan gets the nod, but not if it's Kotchman.

I dunno. Kotch is young yet. Lots of guys didn't figure it out until a couple years into their careers. Remember Sosa was a nobody when Texas unloaded him, and he ranks as Bush's worst decision ever as owner of the Rangers.
 
Looks like Erstad should be back pretty quickly. he's day-to-day, with no fracture. Good news... Kotchman is swell, but he needs quite a bit more seasoning down in triple-A.
