Offseason Week In Review - December 16

The Mitchell Investigation was the big baseball news of this past week. Despite naming many players, there seemed to be a lack of current stars included in the report.

Headlines for the past week (December 10, 2007 - December 16, 2007)
Mitchell Investigation Released

The long awaited Mitchell Investigation on steroid and HGH use in MLB was released. The list contained several players who spent some time with the Angels. They included: Mo Vaughn, Glenallen Hill, Adam Riggs, Randy Velarde, Troy Glaus, Gary Matthews Jr, Jose Guillen, Wally Joyner, Paul Byrd, Scott Schoeneweis, Ismael Valdez, Brendan Donnelly, Kent Mercker, Bart Miadich, Derrick Turnbow, Jason Christiansen and Jason Grimsley.

Tejada's not coming to Anaheim

Third Baseman Miguel Tejada was traded by the Baltimore Orioles to the Houston Astros for five players. Tejada was often rumored to come to Anaheim, but the Angels were not foolish enough to give up five players for him.

Former Halo favorites changing teams

David Eckstein was signed as a free agent by the Toronto Blue Jays to a one-year $4.5 million contract. Outfielder Jim Edmonds was traded by the St Louis Cardinals to the San Diego Padres for 3rd baseman prospect David Freese.

Angels do not re-sign McPherson

The Angels did not offer a contract to oft-injured 3rd baseman Dallas McPherson. He will now become a free agent with the San Francisco Giants currently listed as a team that is interested in him.
