Angel Fan Questions Signing of Fielder

As an Angel fan for all 18 years of my life, I have been a faithful one, and now I have become a cynical one. The Angels have a knack for signing players just out of their prime. Nothing against Cecil Fielder, but is he the cure-all that the Angels need? Isn’t the reason they gave up Chili Davis was to speed up the team? How does Cecil Fielder fit into Terry Collins’ aggressive baserunning?

Sure Fielder is a welcome addition and possibly a steal at $2.8 million, but the problem is pitching: They should work on that.
