The Angels have announced that they will not offer a contract to 3rd baseman Dallas McPherson.
By not offering the 27 year old McPherson a contract, he becomes a free agent and can be signed by any team without compensation to the Angels.
McPherson was a top prospect for the Angels following the 2004 season in which he hit 40 home runs for AA-Arkansas and AAA-Salt Lake. He was then basically handed the 3rd Baseman job as the Angels let Troy Glaus go via free agency. Then began his string of injuries started as he never played in more than 61 games in a season.
In 2007, he was out the whole year with back surgery.

Dallas McPherson never really had a decent chance to make good on a team that expected him to fill in some awfully big shoes.
Ultimately, the blame for this exprament falls on the Angels front office,for doing things on the cheap. It was more cost effective to put in a minor leauger,who probably would have had a bright future,if he was allowed to develop, a little more, then to re-sign Troy Glaus for a couple more years,untill Dallas,was really mentally and physically able to play in the big leagues.
Good luck to you Dallas, where ever you end up at. most likely the Cardnals,hey, just kidding Guy, but, i really do wish all the best!
