Angels Claim LHP Brett Oberholtzer

[Homebrewer]

I have a little trouble believing he's only 27.

 

[tdawg87]

again. 

From the guy that gets pissed when they spend money this is a hilarious take.

The person that sews the names on all of these jerseys has been very busy this year.

Calzone really isn't a fan of what's happened to this organization. It's disappointing.

[NachoPop]

I know it's probably born purely out of necessity, but does Eppler have an affinity for reclamation projects? First Meyer, now Oberholtzer. And does he have a track record of being successful with picking the right ones? 

On a side note, someone needs to think of a nickname fo Oberholtzer quick because i aint typing that every time (in thd highly presumptive view that he will be talked about after this week)

We don't have control ... only opinions. Sometimes you just have to 'roll with the punches ' and enjoy the game for what it is. 

Lighten up my friend

[Vegas Halo Fan]

We need more guys with horizontal letters in their names on the back of the jersey.

Don't you guys remember Drew Pomeranz? You take lefties with good stuff that havent succeeded in the majors (particularly because of unfavorable hitting parks), get them stretched out and roll the dice.

And BTW, if the Angels are really intending to compete in 2017, I wouldn't be targeting the Oberholtzers of the world. I think they're buying lottery tickets to compete in 2018 and beyond.

Exactly. We have enough (one-year, hopefully) slots open on next year's staff that this makes complete sense.

Come on down, peanut # 25!

You're the next contestant on "Try to get MLB hitters out"!

[Turd Ferguson]

He hasn't been bad since the AS break, so worth a flyer.

and so the AAA roster for September gets an early start..........

Halos attendance numbers look good because apparently the Halos sell off blocks of un-used tickets to the ticket brokers at a discounted bulk price with an agreement that they can turn back in the unsold tickets to the Halos for half of what was paid.........essentially they 'rent' the tickets and if they are sold -- great -- if not, they turn them back in for their deposit.

what this does for MLB attendance stats and allow the team to report that all those broker tickets are SOLD -- even if they are later returned.

so that helps explain why we see reported attendance numbers of 30,000 plus combined with embarrassing TV shots of a more than half empty ballpark -- now into mid-August and September it can only get worse on that score........

I went to high school with a girl with almost the same last name, and she was a total slut. Doesnt suprise me this guy is getting passed around.

The guy she ended up with and got preggers was pretty low on the totem pole, and desperate. So again, im not shocked this guy ended up here.

[Jeff Fletcher]

Houston liked him better than Tropeano and for most of their careers he was better. 

The Angels got a lefty who has started 40-some major league games and has four years of control. For nothing.

No brainer. 

[zenmaster]

Sure beats what we are throwing out there now. Worth a shot.

[Dick B Back]

I'm old and my memory is bad but didn't he pitch against the Angels and look like Cy Rubberhozer?

[Second Base]

Let this be a lesson. Don't pay 15 million a year for crappy pitching. You can get it for free on the waiver wire.
