I have been comfortable with McCann as my backstop since I acquired him a while back but I feel I gain a longer lifespan of production out of Billy Butler. This was a tough move to make but the deal gives an excellent pair of 1B/3B (not to mention Alvarez/Freese still there) while it realigns the Angels for their playoff run.

:PIT: to :LAA:
CI Butler, Billy, $9m (2012) + $6m in 2010
C Hayes, Brett, $0.5m (P-n/a)
C Mathis, Jeff, $0.5m (2011)
RP Runzler, Dan, $5m (2011) + $4.5m/year through 2011
P O'Day, Darren, $0.5m (P-2011)

:LAA: to :PIT:
C McCann, Brian, $4.5m (2012)
C Ross, David, $1.5m (2010)
OF Diaz, Matt, $1m (2010)
OF McDonald, Darnell, $0.5m (P-n/a)
SP Hochevar, Luke, $1.5m (P-2011)

I think you got your team logos switched around, Colb.

Halos accept. This deal allows me to have a better catcher now and for the future. V-Mart and Polanco will come back along with Hochevar giving me a lineup full of fairly consistent hitters and pitchers. Butler was nice to have but Overbay is hitting now, V-Mart, Betancourt, and Polanco all qualify at CI and I have other guys to man the position.

Looks good. Makes sense for both.

Butler + others = McCann + others (including Hochevar)
