Angels Acquire RHP Drew Hutchison

[totdprods]

From the Twins AAA team, per a Twitter report.

Might just be filler for Salt Lake City given all the pitching we’ve pulled up but I’m sure there’s a chance we see him this year.

I think it happened, and the delete part was simply him saying remove Hutchison from roster.

Just for reference. He’s just a warm body.

We could use another left handed bat in our lineup.

Ha, Jordany Valdespin is still in organized baseball.

I just went to the Mexican Leagues to see who was still kicking around and was surprised to see 35-year old ERICK AYBAR rocking a .907 OPS.

K-Rod’s on the same team. Salas too.

Don't worry - he'll probably suck, but he'll also probably get hurt soon.

he'll only suck if he stays healthy.  

if he's doing well, then he'll get hurt.

I'm betting he has called his insurance agent about a life policy.

I recall a certain poster (Angel Graffiti) way back in the day completely convinced Eric Aybar would be the greatest SS in Angel history, and absolutely mocking other posters that thought Elvis Andrus could have a better career.

I am curious to see a list of all time great shortstops in Franchise history.   I know Aybar doesnt rank up to Fregosi and of course Simmons.  Who else is clearly better than Aybar?  Eckstein?  Cabrera?

Since the 70s I cant think of that many

When all the 6-8 are gone and you just settle for a 1 or 2 because you're too damn drunk and why not.

Fun fact, Erick Aybar was once #39 on BA’s Top 100 prospect list, going into 2005, and placed #46 and #61 the following two seasons.

Burleson? 253 games in 5 years, Valentine? 66 games in 3 years. I don't think those guys compare to Aybar, I'll give you the other 3.

[Tank]

Valentine played OF more than SS from what I recall.

Locking down a playoff spot with THE PIECE.

Nice work Eppy!

At this point im just going to put "who are these freaking guys" from major league on blast...
