Austin Warren DFA'd after his birthday. Classy move, Arte.

They have a week to trade him or put him through waivers, but can't they just revoke the DFA on the 14th to put Quijada on the 60 Day IL, and then do the same with him? 

In a week Angels will have made 3 more moves.

An alternative or supplement to good drafting. 

Pick up intriguing players from other teams who haven't fulfilled their potential. 

The gamble is will they ever. Or not. 

Funny how Perry seems to have implemented a strategy for adding these type of relievers in quantity. Hoping at least one blossoms with the change of organizations and coaches. 

Speaking of coaches ... This is another challenge for the new pitching experts. Seems these moves are somewhat predicated on coaching refining technique with these guys.

He even made his MLB debut at age 18 in 1966, very small cup of coffee, demitasse.

i had to look it up. never heard of him being on the angels but sure enough, there it is. 

seems like we gave up on him a tad early. had a whopping 2 ABs with us in 8 games.

He was a Rule 5 pick from the Cardinals. I'm not sure why he was eligible for the Rule 5 draft, given that he had just signed the year prior. Guess the rules were different back then. But basically the Angels gave him back the Cardinals because they realized they didn't want to keep him on the major league roster for the full year.

Damn it. Just when it appeared that Cash had finally found a place that he could call home, he gets traded again. He was a key piece going into 2024.

I hung my head and cried...

But are you really a Guillermo if you're not Guillermo 100% of the time?
