Nooooooo!

According to the NY Daily News, Vlad will be signing with the Angels:

Of all the guys to leave the NL this offseason, if this happens, this will depress me the most. I know I don't own him any more, and would have been unlikely to have been able to afford him in the Draft, but I love watching him play and I really would have liked him to stay in the NL and in the CFCL.

If Vlad goes to the AL, Draft Day 2004 will be just a little bit less interesting.

This further proves the point of the mass exodus of NL players to the minor league.

I didn't think it was possible that Vlad could play anywhere that would give him less press coverage than Montreal . . . until he signed with Anaheim. From baseball's Black Hole to a Super Nova.
