    The Angels have everything the Sox do except JD's wife. I am going with the Angels. Beautiful weather all year round is something Boston won't have.

    Plus you don't have to deal with Boston's obnoxious fans and obsessive media.

    Boston, crappy weather and all, is a lot closer to Maryland than is Anaheim as well. I think Boston fits for numerous reasons and they have the means to be able to do it. Plus with the moves of the Yankees, this would be quite the move to lift up the spirits of the fanbase.

    Personally, I feel that when a player is traded to a team before free agency, that he should attempt to stay with that team. Especially when the team gave up a lot ot get him. They obviously want him more than a team that wasn't willing to part with their precious prospects for him. Otherwise it feels like your stealing from the team and from the fans who grew attached to them, like Sabathia and the Brewers. The exception is when a player can return to his hometown team. Otherwise, he's simply going for the winner or the money. There is no honor amongst thieves.
