Hot Stove Update: Dousing the Embers, Part 3

Here are some losers from the offseason:

1. LA Angels: Sorry, but Matsui, Piniero and Rodney don't make up for the losses of Figgy, Lackey and Vlad.

2. KC Royals: OK, all you disgruntled Giants fans out there. Just be thankful you aren't a Royals fan. Talk about a team with no plan and no direction, short or long term! Maybe it's just me, but adding Jason Kendall, Rick Ankiel and Scott Podsednik doesn't seem like what this team needed. The Cuban pitcher may work out though.

3. LA Dodgers: D.I.V.O.R.C.E spells big trouble for the Hated Ones. Teehee!!! Trading Juan Pierre may clear up their OF situation, but it doesn't make them a better team. Padilla and Belliard are in for major regressions. Nobody to replace Wolf. The Dodgers still have that great core of young homegrown players, but this is a team in decline.

4. OPS: UZR is the new OPS. Just ask Russell Branyan, Jonny Gomes, Johnny Damon and a host of other guys who can take a walk and hit HR's but look like statuary in the field.
