Cowart has been abducted by Dipoto

Per MLBTradeRumors:
"The Mariners have claimed infielder Kaleb Cowart off waivers from the Angels. Notably, the Seattle club referred to Cowart as an infielder and right-handed pitcher in its announcement. He’ll “come to Spring Training as a two-way player,” per the M’s."

....Hu.

Dipoto has dealt the Angels yet another blow.  

Sad !!!

Mariners roster has tons of room for non-hitting AAAA guys.

i'm sure well see marte scooped up soon enough

[Dtwncbad]

Great news.  Another roster spot opened up that might now be occupied by somebody that can hit.

Kaleb... I hardly knew ya.

Nice, wonder what he’ll look like on the mound 

[Angel Oracle]

Thus, 2010 draft class top 50 overall picks (five) for the Halos are down to just a mediocre BadRock.

Good job, J. Pierpont Reagins!

Stellar job, idiot!!!!

The M's said he'll come to camp as a "two way player."

This is Dipoto's revenge for not signing Ohtani... haha

I think it is worth its own thread, considering he was a 1st round draft pick for us. Interesting that the Mariners want to turn him back into a two-way player.

Good night, sweet prince.

What the Angels should have done with Cowart 4 years ago.

He already hits like a pitcher, why not?

put him on waivers? 

i agree 

[mulwin444]

For all those "Angels should have done this with him years ago", perhaps he didn't want to pitch then, or last season, or two years ago.  Angels don't have the roster spot for an experiment but the M's do because they are terrible.

He's said all along he was open to it if the Angels were.

Try the two way thing, and when it inevitably doesn't work out, try him at pitching, and if that doesn't work out, THEN put him on waivers.

Craig concurs!

Did he want to do it then (1 to 4 years ago)?  If not, what we talking about it?

"Hey Kaleb, remember how you used to pitch in high school?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, seeing as how your hitting is still a work in progress with no guarantees it will play at the MLB level, want to try pitching again?"

"Nope, not really"

"Okay, then..."

Right NOW, the Angels don't have a spot on the 40 man roster for a non-hitting switch hitter, good defender who might be able to pitch...which is why he has put on waivers.  He was claimed by the M's because Dipoto is throwing everything against a wall to see what sticks.  Good luck to him.

Thanks for the shitty memories

So Cowart was outed?  Not cool.
