Angels Acquire Drew Butera From Dodgers

All I remember about Conger is him throwing to first while the runner steals second, pulling numerous ground balls to the 2b despite an extreme shift, and that time he got a walk off when he got hit.

I liked Conger the person but he was not very good in the MLB level.

I thought it was Mathis who threw to 1st?

That's a bit of an overstatement. Conger was a great pitch framer, but that's pretty much the limit of his capabilities. Only Richards and Shoemaker showed significantly better numbers with Conger. Everyone else was either too small a sample size or not enough of a difference to say they were "light years better" with one or the other.

 

Trading him could prove to be a mistake, but the Angels got a pretty nice return for him all things considered.

 

 

Strikeouts/Walks

when caught by Conger and Iannetta, respectively:

 

 

Ricahards:  5.91 / 2.48  +138%

Santiago: 2.69 / 1.41  +90%

Shoemaker  7.13 / 4.19  +70%

Wilson:   2.13 / 1.57  +36%

Weaver:    2.96 / 2.32   +28%

Skaggs:  3.38 / 2.68  + 26%

 

Light years better is an overstatement for Weaver, Wilson and Skaggs but even there the differences are significant.

 

You're right. Didn't Conger fall down in a run down? 

Conger was the guy who fell down running to first on an attempted bunt single. The opposing team was playing him so far to pull that he actually was still safe.
