I would imagine the Angels might be interested in one of our pitching prospects that they could have for a low price given they have huge contracts with Wilson and Weaver.
Personally if I had the choice I would choose Haren because his best years are much better than Santana's best years and he has also been consistent both in games started and a sub 4 ERA. Also, if the Angels decide to pick up one of the options, it would likely be on Santana who has a cheaper deal, and is few years younger. But what would they want for him?

Yeah, I'd like to see Haren brought in. Price will be something Moore might be willing to actually pay (likely lower than Garza).
I think, at worst, Haren is about the same pitcher as Garza, but he's got a little better chance, IMO, of being an ace type than Garza.
So ... I guess that means I'm now officially rooting for the Angels to acquire Greinke. Ha.
