An Angels fan who writes on the blog 'Halos Heaven' took the time recently to write out a trade suggestion and physically mail it to general manager Jerry Dipoto.

Surprisingly, the fan received a hand-written response from Dipoto in the mail.

The note read as follows:

"Aaron,

A quick note to thank you for your recent letter. I enjoyed reading your thoughts and the creative idea you shared. Clearly you have a solid knowledge of the league and potential "players" on the horizon. Unfortunately, trades are always very complex, as you alluded to in your letter. Salaries and finance tend to become an overriding factor.

Know that I do appreciate the suggestion and creativity you've shown.

All my best,

Jerry Dipoto"

Aaron noted in the comments section on 'Halos Heaven' that his proposed trade would send Bobby Abreu and Alberto Callaspo to the Orioles for minor-league infielder Jonathan Schoop and minor-league pitcher Clayton Schrader.
