Angels Accounts Payable

10) Signing the biggest free agent every year has worked out so well this far

9) If he doesn't work out, will totally distract everyone from that Vernon Wells problem

8) Need an offensive boost for the inevitable Mike Trout sophomore slump to merely ridiculously good

7) Part of the Mike Napoli approach of stocking their team with as many Ranger exes as possible

4) Hamilton has hidden talents as a #4 starter and third baseman

3) Really want to win the World Series in December, the way all major free agent signings do
