[AngelsWin.com]

Huston Street has been sidelined with a right groin injury since July 5, but an MRI exam also revealed a mild rotator cuff strain in his right shoulder, Angels general manager Billy Eppler said Tuesday.

i know the pussy comments are coming, but outside of that, it's obvious that his angel tenure is over.

This is baseless because it seems like Street is a pretty good dude and would want to get back on the field, but I wonder how hard he's trying to come back knowing that he's not going to be the closer or even have a 'defined' role like he's always proclaimed is important.  

In the end, we'll have shelled out about 30 mil for a guy that's gave us about about 115 ip over the course of about 3.5 seasons.  So not much value there.  Even though we gave up 4 players to get him and classically depleted farm depth, the guys we moved have been terrible.

I think knowing this is his walk year would make him anxious to prove to everyone he can still come in and get batters out

He is a China Doll.

Dipeutered will pick him up, like he picked up Skaggs twice.

probably.  my accusation is actually pretty weak.  

Although it wouldn't totally surprise me if Street hung up the cleats after this year.  I know he's 33, but he's got a ton of stuff going outside of baseball, he can't stay healthy and when he has, he's been largely ineffective.  He also likes being a closer.  Something he'll likely never be again.  He's made about 70 mil over the course of his career and likely gets something equivalent to a spring invite next year with his recent injury history (knee, shoulder).  Maybe he gets a mil from someone.  Not sure that's going to motivate him.

Agree 100% that he's probably planning to retire unless he somehow gets an offer he can't refuse in a location of his choosing

Street hasn't been able to recover since the Astros blasted him in that 9th inning two seasons ago to complete their late inning magic.

Who  knew he was still on the team?

The two year extension he signed has been a bust but he was really good in 14/15 on two teams that were either in the playoffs (2014) or came very close to getting there (2015).....hard to complain about that....

Agreed. Its ended like crap, but i still think it was a good move. The offense dissapeared in 14, but shoring up the bullpen that year was a great move.

I had actually forgotten all about him. Same with Bailey.

hahaha! I completely forgot about Mulder!!! He should be pretty close to being ready to come out of retirement!

Actually, I really wanted him to work out.
