And Red Sox just announced Victorino and cash to Angels for INF Josh Rutledge.

Today the #Angels have acquired OF Shane Victorino and cash considerations from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for INF Josh Rutledge.

 

 

With Victorino's age/injury issues, this is likely a deal to help improve the bench. No way this is their LFer.

Angels have acquired Shane Victorino from the Red Sox for Josh Rutledge and cash. Guessing that's not it for the Angels.

but stoneman

4th OF? Off the bench? Prelude to another trade?

[HaloCory22]

Somehow the OF just got worse.

Angels view Victorino as fourth OFer. But, should be said, their third OFers haven't been all that great.

 

 

As a 4th OFer, I'm fine with it...

At least he's a legit leadoff guy.

[QuinlansMinion]

What the heck?  Noooooooo.  We dont want this piece of crap on the Angels.  .622 OPS!  When the Red Sox fans were in town I saw a whole bunch of Sox fans doing that stupid hawiian hand gesture with their pinky and thumbs.  Now I gotta see that for the rest of the season.

Well he stinks and might actually be worse than Navarro and Robertson types, so I really hope that cash they're sending over covers that whole salary.

Are you talking about the hang loose sign?

2 years ago, maybe.

 

I honestly forgot that he was still playing baseball.

[Ray McKigney]

Well past him prime, but he's no worse than Joyce, that's for sure.

[tdawg87]

Obviously this is to replace Robertson who is being shipped off for Stanton.

I was going to say. He's gonna take AB's from Robertson who is actually playing pretty good imo

[Oz27]

Advanced metrics are still very fond of what he can do with the glove. Maybe we're working on getting a LF who isn't very good with the glove and Victorino is our defensive replacement/backup guy?

 

Or maybe he's Matt Joyce's defensive replacement *ducks*
