This is probably just the Angels trying to improve their AAA depth.

They brought in Mayfield and DFA'd Garcia, hoping that Garcia can clear waivers and they can stash him in AAA and outside of their 40-man roster. Then, in a couple weeks, they may even DFA Mayfield and hope he clears waivers in order to stash him in AAA and off the 40-man roster.

You're seeing lots of teams do this right now.

Really?? It sounds like a convoluted way to find real talent.

Sorry, not even I can help you here.

This is a totally under the radar signing and I could see this guy as one of our starting middle infielders next year

 

Just kidding.  Who cares.

I'm pissed about losing Cash Considerations again.

When will teams learn that Arte never ends his considerations in their favor?

Or, he could turn into our next Tommy LaStella.  You never know.

I don't think La Stella was ever a glove first infielder, was he? I like that this guy rates out as a plus defender at every position in the infield. 

If a scenario occurs where an infielder is injured and the offense is lighting the world on fire and more than anything, we just need to maintain a solid defensive unit to support the pitching staff, then Mayfield could be an option.

Cash considerations sounds like a rapper.

Other things that sound like rappers. Local elections, when there are koreans running. And you see signs saying "young kim", or "young hyun". 

Dont believe me?

Now picture a sign, in different colors, that reads:

Cash Considerations

Young Kim

Young Hyun

August 3, 2017, Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet.

 

See, I told you.
