I don't like to see a player of Guerrero's caliber going to a market where I won't get the chance to see him play.
But personal feelings aside, if Guerrero feels this is the best move for him, then you won't hear me complaining. You should get a lifetime free pass from criticism if you excel in Montreal.
From a baseball perspective, it would have been nice to see him sign with the Orioles in their bid to keep the Red Sox and Yankees honest. But I can see the appeal of Anaheim to Guererro. Think about it - Latin communities, nice weather, the fans are appreciative that you have come to play for their team, and the expectations are tempered.
