Who is this guy?....

[DMVol]

MLB TradeRumors: The Angels selected the contract of shortstop Shawn O’Malley, according to Tim Mead, the team’s VP of communications (Twitter link). O’Malley will join the Halos on Tuesday and add some versatility to the bench; he has mostly played short over his pro career but has played all over the diamond this season. Originally a fifth-round pick of the Rays in the 2006 draft, O’Malley is looking to make his Major League debut after nine years in the minors, hitting .258/.351/.338 over

He's Shawn O'Malley

[DMVol]

That's helpful....not sure where he fits in w/ Green, Beckham, McDonald....maybe pinch runner (13 SB's at SLC)....

[Lhalo]

This guy here is dead!

[Lou]

I have no idea either. 

does he have a good glove? if so, maybe he can pr for Freese instead of Mac and stay in as a defensive replacement

[ten ocho recon scout]

This guy here is dead!

cross him off then

[fan_since79]

Every team needs a good Irishman.

 

Oh that's right...we have Calhoun. Well, another can't hurt!

[Ohtaniland]

Dude wants to retire an Angel. Very cool.

[fan_since79]

He could be Freese's brother.

 

[fan_since79]

He's got plenty of speed, 4.5 in the 40yd dash.

His 2014 numbers at Salt Lake are outstanding: .331/.413/.475 in 88 games. He's young too, only 26.

Saw him play twice in AAA this year on MILB.com...Good count control, decent pop...can play 5 positions well so he's got versatility

[fan_since79]

The kid's time may have arrived.

[Ohtaniland]

He has to be Walter O'Malley's great grandson or otherwise Scioscia would have blocked the signing.

I see that....but I thought Campana made some sense, or Shuck....need an OF'er with some speed, maybe who can play CF, probably Campana more than Shuck..... O'Malley's #'s are better than Campana's...maybe he can play OF too...

[arch stanton]

His name sounds Italian.

O'Malley has played 2nd, 3rd, SS, and all three outfield positions during his minor-league career.

Debut?

For some reason, I had thought he had a cup of MLB coffee previously.

The versatility, athleticism, and OBP are intriguing.

And the fact that he could be Freese's younger brother.
