Angels Thirsting for Jason Juice?

Acquiring Figgins and Molina would fill two huge holes on the Yankee bench. Miguel Cairo and Wil Nieves have given Joe Torre zero reason to pencil them in the lineup on anything more than an emergency-basis. Adding two serviceable bench players would allow the manager the luxury of resting his everyday players with more regularity. Trading Giambi would also open the DH spot for some of the aging legs in the outfield, providing more time for Melky Cabrera.

Not sure how I feel about this, but it probably doesn't matter. I can't see the Angels pulling the trigger on this anyway. It's not just a player swap, there's a lot of salary LA would have to deal with to take on Giambi, who is already starting to break down. Plus, Moreno wasn't happy about the Gary Matthews drama this past offseason. Why would they pay fair value for a guy with similar question marks.

Great point about Moreno...I thought the same thing. I think the sooner the Yanks end the Giambi-Era, the better, but it's tough to imagine it happening before 2009.
