Liked him but from what I read it may not be such a bad idea and it looks like the Angels are on top of getting things resolved in the clubhouse while it's still early in the season.

It's a smart move.

He can afford alot of coke. He buys and I will tell him stories all night, then he buys us 4 hookers. 1 blows me, 1 licks my buts, 1 licks my ass. 1 is there for me to spank HARD

He only buys minorities. Guess you are out of luck.

I love the minorities. Indonesian and the Phillipino people send me naked pics all the time. See, their brains are underdeveloped. That is why Africa is 1 big Civil War an has been since the beginning of time but we are all the same of course.

Josh Hamilton swap from Angels to Rangers completed

The trade sending embattled outfielder Josh Hamilton from the Angels to theRangers has been completed, CBSSports.com Baseball Insider Jon Heyman has reported.
The Rangers later announced it officially, stating that the swap is for cash considerations or a player to be named later.

Hamilton, who starred with Texas from 2008 to 2012, has struggled on and off the field since signing a free agent contract with the Angels. He was particularly ineffective in 2014, compiling a slash line of .261/.331/.414 and hitting just 10 home runs in 338 at-bats.

The 33-year-old Hamilton suffered a relapse in his battle with drug addiction during the offseason, but Major League Baseball opted not to suspend him, a decision about which the Angels expressed disappointment. He has yet to play this season as he recovers from early February shoulder surgery, but he is expected to report to the team's extended spring training program in Surprise, Ariz., in the next few days.
