i thought he loved his DBacks

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim-Denver-Phoenix

The catching depth in the minors is atrocious so I can see why this move was made. 

 

He's been a below average hitter in the minors so I'll assume he's just depth in AAA.

[Adam]

I thought only 5 year olds were named "Jackson"

I guess the title should read rockies and dbacks

[tdawg87]

Decent pickup.

[yk9001]

Arte just found his #1 offseason target. 

 

HOT STOVE ACTION!

 

Joe Sheehan on James Shields:

-- James Shields is a free agent after the season. Forget last night or any of the other poor starts in this postseason -- I would not touch him. Shields' primary traits are durability and the ability to throw strikes. That's a good pitcher to have around, someone worth signing as a #3 for #3 years and money -- Edwin Jackson's 4/52 contract, adjusted for inflation, perhaps. Shields, however, continues to be lumped in with Max Scherzer and Jon Lester, pitchers who can front good teams' rotations. If it takes a five-year deal, if it takes $20 million per, I want no part of Shields. He's spent the last seven years of his career pitching in terrific environments for pitchers -- great parks, great defenses -- and I don't want to pay to see what happens when he leaves those.

He was 5 years old once.

at 6 you go by Jack 

[greginpsca]

In before someone calls him "Action Jackson".

[Second Base]

Forget three first names, this bloke has 3 last names. 

[DowningRules]

Let's hope Pujols surrenders to the Angel tradition of giving only valued catchers #5. 

[Taylor]

Not as much as Tony Reagins loves his Rockies.

But the one we got still goes by Jackson.  He doesn't hit much, but his OBP is pretty decent.

I think that looks more like Randy Jackson. Dawg.

Lot's of Jacksons in CO apparently.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

With the track record of slappy hitters we've had - I wouldn't be surprised if Arte tried to resurrect Michael Jackson. The sloppiest Judy of all time.

[tdawg87]

I'm just surprised this dude is white.

[Angel Oracle]

Jack Browne?   Doesn't have the same ring.
