That said, there have at least been a couple of transactions recently worth at least noting, though neither are likely to have much of an impact on anything.

When Chan Ho Park, Jarrod Washburn, and Felipe Lopez are among ESPN’s top 10 free agents left on the market, it’s safe to say the truly significant signings are behind us now. With that in mind, we can look to who the Angels gained, who they lost, and what this off-season means for the 2010 baseball season.

Unfortunately, the major story of the Angels’ off-season was the subtractions from a team that already was unable to make it past the Yankees in the ALCS. Players like Jose Arredondo and Dustin Moseley are not significant losses, but their departure is also not going to do much to help a bullpen that last year ranked 11th in the AL in ERA and 6th in FIP. On top of that, the man who may’ve been the rock of that pen, leading it in innings pitched, tied for 1st in ERA, and 3rd in FIP has departed as well. It wouldn’t be fair to say the Angels bullpen has been decimated by these moves (Moseley wasn’t terribly effective, and Arredondo is on the shelf this season with Tommy John surgery), but losing Oliver definitely hurts a group that was already far removed from their dominant ways only a few years ago.
