#Angels have DFA'd LHP Wade LeBlanc, so he won't start Saturday. RHP Yoslan Herrera recalled from AAA.

 

 

The LeBlanc era has come to an end. On the bright side, Herrera is back! Get excited

They have a capable replacement, though

Guessing LHP Randy Wolf or LHP Michael Roth will start Saturday vs A's now. #Angels

[m0nkey]

Lol

[full circle]

Lol, way to seize control of the opportunity Blancy!

[laagamer]

Who's next for the meat grinder? 

[Angels]

Shit down, shit up.

Angels are in trouble if Roth or Wolf will be starting games the rest of the way.

[stevestevens]

Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!

Yoslan Herrera spent two weeks with #Angels in April. The RHP has not allowed a run in last 7 app at triple-A, 16 K, 7 H, 1 BB in 14 IP.

Trade! Trade! Trade!

Haha

3rd time this year he's been DFA'ed (twice by us, once by the Yanks).  Might be time to call it a day at this point.

Maybe if he ever gets another opportunity he'll decide not to get cute with mlb hitters by throwing fastballs when he's getting swings and misses and outs on the change and curve. Those ab's by Johnson and yelich did him in.

in before someone mentions dropping coin on a leblanc jersey.

Herrera is a reliever though right?

 

If he is, how does that help us for Saturday, other than him being the long man when the next candidate gets touched up by the A's on Saturday night?

LeBlanc had a good first inning, and then...

 

I hope he catches on with someone. Long relief, some other role?

He's only 30. He should go down to Texas and visit that coach who turned Kazmir around. Seriously.

So Sunday we should see another post titled 'Wolf/Roth DFA'd'

[Angel Oracle]

Do Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe know?

He sure couldn't be as bad as he was up here in April, which is still infinitely better than what Josh Wall did.

But Leblanc never had it to begin with....

[rageous]

Good riddance.

Leblanc looked terrible.

[DowningRules]

Watch Beane pick LeBlanc up and use him against the Angels as the baseball equivalent of a hate F.

Herrera pitched in 2008 and 2014.

Was he in jail?

[Hubs]

Herrera was just in the minors in 2009-2010, missed 2011 and 2012, Did independent ball in 2013, and then we signed him.

He was released by the Twins in 2010, because he asked to be, but I think he had some injury problem, TJ surgery or something and missed the remainder of 2010, 2011, and 2012 seasons.
