"The Angels made major moves during the non-waiver trade period in two of the last three summers, adding first baseman Mark Teixeira in 2008 and acquiring right-hander Dan Haren last season.

Don't expect the same this year.

With a week to go before the July 31 deadline, the Angels have clear needs but don't appear to have the means to address them.

Although General Manager Tony Reagins hasn't publicly discussed a wish list, his team could use at least one more arm at the back of the bullpen and a power bat for the middle of the lineup. Toward that end, the team has been eagerly courting the San Diego Padres, who are likely to move reliever Heath Bell or Mike Adams, possibly both.

Finding help for the Angels' oft-anemic offense could be more difficult. There are few suitable hitters available, for one thing. Plus the Angels appear to have no position, other than designated hitter, third base or perhaps behind the plate, where a new player could get regular at-bats.

But a bigger obstacle to a deal is the fact that, after sending three top pitching prospects to Arizona in the Haren deal last year, Reagins has little he can afford to part with in trade."
