Facts are Facts. Vladimir Guerrero is one of the greatest players to ever wear a Halo.
Rumors had abounded that Vlad would sign with the Texas Rangers and PhiSlamma finally broke the news here in THIS POST.
Here is where he stands in franchise history:
One of 6 Angels to make four All-Star squads.
Vlad's 846 games played are 12 more than Rod Carew and 19 more than Troy Glaus.
His 544 Runs scored was 21 more than Glaus and 24 more than Chili Davis.
Chone Figgins had 460 more plate appearances in his Angel career and had only 11 more hits.
For players with 1500 or more Plate Appearances as an Angel, Vlad is #1 in many categories, including:
He ranks 3rd all time in franchise history in On Base Percentage with a .381 mark.
I don't care if he goes into the Hall of Fame with a Dominican WBC cap, Vlad will always be an Angel to me.

Dreded Vlad is most dreaded in my book... for the opposition!
I’m going to miss the hell out of you Vlad. Except when I see you against the Angels, then I’m going to be on the edge of my seat as ever.

I feel more content
knowing that Vlad has a home; there was something eerie about his being left out in limbo.

i still..
would rather have VLAD back instead of matsui!! even if matsui has a better season (which i highly doubt will happen) VLAD should’ve retired as an angel!!

Oh God MY EYES!!
(Find a happy place, find a happy place, find a happy place…)
Ah, that’s better.

I wish Vlad the best.
If he stays healthy, I’d expect him to have decent numbers…25 HR’s, 100 RBI’s, .300 BA. In other words. the same or better than Matsui. The difference is more strikeouts and GIDP’s for Vlad and more less walks.
Gonna miss those full-body, breeze-inducing swings…

I doubt 100 RBI's for some reason
Figgi4life - January 10, 2010 via mobile
RBI's are a tough call since it depends on baserunners...
…over which he has no control (except of course for RBI’s on HR’s). But if he his the other 2 targets (25 HR’s and .300 BA) he should be somewhere near 100 RBI’s.
I guess we’ll find out.

he will reach 100 ribbies.

I can't wait for his hall of fame induction speech.

Me too
But I really do hope that he’s wearing an Angels hat.

I really hope he doesn't use an interpreter.

vlad
simple—vlad was one of the best angels ever!-great teamate also-but probably better to have Matsui-vlady will get hurt-but still I will miss him as an Angel and I truly hope the best for him
30 hrs-300 ba-100 rbi for 3 more seasons-he could do that really

Interesting poll results… we’re entirely split in three.

So we're rather Gaul-ish?
red floyd - January 11, 2010
Not yet. Not quite, anyway.
For that to happen, we would need to take a question with only 3 possible choices, and split our vote four ways.
