Angels close to landing Hamilton?

UPDATE: Jon Paul Morosi reports that it?s a five-year deal.

UPDATE: ?We have a report that it?s a done deal. No details yet:

1:55PM: We weren?t expecting this:

Around the same time, Buster Olney said that the Angels are ?positioning themselves for a big strike in the market.?

Maybe this is just a case of the Angels trying to drive up Hamilton?s price to the Rangers? detriment. But let?s, for a moment, assume they really do want Hamilton.

If so, I guess this would mean Trout back to center, Bourjos to the bench and Vernon Wells on a slow boat to China? Assuming the ticket on the slow boat didn?t cost too much because, jeez, Vernon Wells isn?t worth it??Or, they could trade Bourjos or Mark Trumbo I suppose for pitching help.

That could put the Angels in a strong position. ?Though it is worth noting that, with respect to players they have in common (i.e. Mike Napoli and C.J. Wilson) the Rangers have done a pretty good job of out-evaluating the Angels over the past couple of years.

No matter the case, if this happens and the Angels get Hamilton, hoo-boy, the AL West gets really freakin? fun. ?As if it wasn?t already.

UPDATE: ?Sounds like it?s gonna happen:
