AL West Notes: Rangers, Lachemann, Mariners

By Mike Axisa | November 19, 2011 at 5:58pm CDT

Four years ago today, the Angels traded Orlando Cabrera to the White Sox for Jon Garland. The right-hander pitched to a 4.90 ERA during his lone season in Anaheim before joining the Diamondbacks as a free agent. The Halos selected Eastern Illinois left-hander Tyler Kehrer with the supplemental first round pick they received as compensation for Garland's departure. Here's the latest from the AL East…

  • In today's Insider-only blog post, ESPN's Buster Olney says the Rangers appear to be working on a similar track to last offseason. They'd like to re-sign C.J. Wilson just like they would have liked to re-sign Cliff Lee, but they have a salary threshold they do not want to cross. If Wilson leaves, they will look to improve their teams in other ways, a la Adrian Beltre.
  • The Angels have hired Marcel Lachemann as a special assistant to new GM Jerry Dipoto, reports Jack Etkin of Inside The Rockies. Lachemann had served as a specialist assist to Rockies GM Dan O'Dowd for the last ten years.
  • The Mariners had interest in Ryan Doumit before he signed with the Twins, but Geoff Baker of The Seattle Times says they have bigger fish to fry and "can't afford to spend too much money for part-time production."

    Please, please, please don’t listen to anything Baker says. The Seattle Times has HIM to be embarrassed about.

    “Rangers appear to be working on a similar track to last offseason. They’d like to re-sign C.J. Wilson just like they would have liked to re-sign Cliff Lee,”

      That snippet from Buster Olney was the most non-newsworthy clip….”if they can’t do this, they’ll do this”…

        I won’t Mind with 6/85. Around 14M per year…Arte got Bank so it won’t Hurt Halos.. Still be able to sign A Closer and a Catcher to..So it’s all good..If its higher tho then he going to Yanks

      I don’t know where he’s going, but with that strategy, he certainly won’t be resigning with Texas.

    Geoff Baker is probably the worst sports writer in the country. I shake my head whenever any of his terrible, selfish articles are mentioned on this otherwise-respectable website.

    I came here to complain about Baker and I see 5 people beat me to it. If you want good Mariner coverage go to Lookout Landing or Prospect Insider, they both do good jobs, even though they have slightly different views. USS Mariner is pretty good too.

    USSMariner is terrible.  Dave Cammeron is a joke.  He knows nothing about baseball.  Math nerds and people who had no athletic skills will love him though because it allows them to think the game is for people like them.

      This guy ^  doesn’t realize MLBTR commenters are nerds, too!  And Nelson, I played baseball, still play softball, have abundant athletic skills, AND I listen when Dave Cameron speaks.  Hmmm?  Am I living in my mother’s basement, or my wife’s mother’s basement?

          Of course it’s not.  But it can be measured pretty well.

    Geoff Baker is great.  He calls out Mariners ownership and management (jackie z).  He always counter argues with concrete facts and stats.  Its funny how badly the geeky fan base who loves WAR and XFIP and all that nonsense will rip into Baker.  Baker is great.  Its to bad people are not seeing that.

    I didnt see much on this list worth looking at—Do Not trade Mazir—Wilson is NOT worth 100 million ever!—Aramis is worth looking at as is Heath Bell and Ryan Madson—Add those and the Angels should be done–Except for maybe getting a big hitting catcher–If they dont do that give Conger the chance and let Mathis go away! Why not trade Wells straight up for Barry Zito? Zito would probably do alot better back in the AL and neither team wants or needs them–This would be a good trade for both parties also

    TRY THIS OUT

    SP—Weaver-Haren-Santana-Zito-Jerome Walden
    BP—Madsen or Bell—Walten-Downs   plus 4
    Ca–Conger
    1B–Trumbo
    2B–Howie
    SS  Aybar
    3B—Aramis
    OF—Hunter-Peter-Trout
    DH–Morales
    bench—Ca-Wilson–Calaspo-Mazir-Abreu
