What about this guy....

A guy that relies on not much more than singles for hits. He really has no power numbers or lots of doubles, in fact his numbers have dipped this year from a career high last season. His base stealing has dropped off to the point it is almost single digit. At 5'9" I think what you guys are looking at is the Korean Reggie Willits and not the 26 year old version.

Sounds like a pretty good leadoff option to me, something the Angels are in need of.

And he isn't going to cost a ton. I think the comparison you are looking for is Nori Aoki.

If he played 2b, yes.  But an outfielder coming into a market with more proven power hitting power hitters in FA'cy.  I think we have to pass.  We do need a leadoff hitter.  But a power hitter is probably a bigger need, and available this offseason.

 

Again, assuming Arte is willing to go over the tax threshold.

Sounds too good to be true. 

 

Yeah, a Korean Reggie Willits sounds pretty good.

Beyond that, you'd think if we're ever going to restock the farm, you'd like to keep the 1st round draft choice you lose if we sign Heyward or another top drawer FA....

 

They could get guys like Cespedes, Price, Wieters, Zobrist, etc... without losing a draft pick. But again, the Angels are going to be like 10 million shy of the threshold so they could land exactly none of these players without going over it. They have no options to move salary either so it's basically stand pat and hope for the best or Arte goes balls deep.

Pretty much...If you resign Freese and exercise Murphy's option, we're tapped out, unless Arte changes the plan....
