    Hunter signs with Anaheim

    5 years 80 million dollars

    ESPN - Angels, ex-Twins star Hunter agree to 5-year deal - MLB

    Angels OF is going to be loaded, and possibly the best defensive OF in Majors.

    Wow, great job by the Angels to go out and get this guy. It looks like the troubles with the Angles aren't going to get any easier for the Yankees.

    good signing up front for them. years 4 and 5 are not going to be pretty though.

    WOW!!! That came out of nowhere. I didnt even hear the Angels' in the rumors. I have been out of the loop the past week. Been very busy, and not able to keep up. I really thought he was going to be somewhere else (White Sox or Rangers).


    Congrats to the Angels.

    I agree...I'm really surprised by this! The Angels are really solidifying themselves with this move, making me wonder if they won't get Miguel Cabrera now?...
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Yes it does. And having Matthews around is insurance if Hunter gets injuried. He is injury-prone, and good move on the Angels part.

    Heh, 18 mil a year for Hunter (I guess that's the max for his contract?). That's silly. That's a Yankee contract.

    This won't look good in a couple years.

    Nice pick up. I was as surprised as most but as an Angels fan I like it.

    I am not an Angels' fan, but like a few of their players and their manager though.

    They said Mathews Jr wont be playing in the OF, he will be a DH and fill in for the corner OF whenever Vlad or Anderson need a day off.

    Matthews Jr by far. Hunter isn't a one year wonder on roids. This is a great signing and puts them head and shoulders above the rest in the West. Angels adding Garland and now Hunter is a pretty impressive offseason thus far. Vlad will finally get some protection and watch for them to try their hardest to move Matthews.
