ANGELS SHOULD JUST MELLOW OUT OVER REX

I was shocked at the Angels' decision to suspend Rex Hudler indefinitely,
more so than at the news of his arrest in Kansas City. Did anyone in the
Angel organization consider that Hudler recently had a near-fatal brain
hemorrhage? Or maybe that Hudler uses marijuana to alleviate pain associated
with that event? I don't believe so, since the Angels decided to suspend
Hudler immediately, apparently with no investigation.

I always thought the Angels were a first-class organization, but after this
rash decision to suspend a longtime, cherished Angel employee based upon an
apparent mistake of judgment, I am having doubts. As a fan and as someone
who has seen all the good Mr. Hudler does for our community, the Angels
should give him the benefit of the doubt or, a very least, a chance to
explain himself.
