Why don't the Angels have Mike Piazza? Rumor was he wanted to sign with us, for even something < 1 milion, but instead we get Shea Hillenbrand. I cannot remember the exact timing, but it seems off to me.

I know we signed Shea after Juan Rivera was hurt, but I thought it was understood Piazza was very willing to come our way. Hopefully our FO didn't really prefer Hillenbrand over Piazza, but rather he was the best option left at the time.
