The Angels are confident that they'll work out a new contract with infielder Erick Aybar. Aybar is believed to be looking for a five-year, $50 million deal. The two sides have been in talks for roughly four months. "Erick wants to be an Angel, we want Erick to be an Angel, and I feel very confident we'll be able to work something out," general manager Jerry Dipoto said. "We've made progress. I'm very encouraged by where we are and that we will ultimately get there."
