What’s the Deal, Angels?

Dear Arte:

As a loyal Angel fan, I and 27,999 other season-ticket holders are curious if you plan on using any of that extra money, after raising our ticket prices by 20%, on any players? It seems that a lot of free agents have been signed by other teams and all you have done is let a fan favorite (Bengie) and a starting pitcher (Washburn) get away.

Would you mind getting back to us on that one in the near future?
