Angels sign Joe Smith

[SoWhat]

@JonHeymanCBS: #LAAngels are signing Joe Smith to 3-year deal. beefs up pen.

I love this move. Maybe this is why Berg wasn't protected in the rule 5 draft

Nice

[HaloCory22]

You mean the season isn't over yet?

[bloodbrother]

Pretty reasonable deal tbh. Love it. Nice signing. Hopefully they can get another quality RP before the winter meetings start and then they can focus on beefing up the rotation

[SigBaby]

Cool. I'd like to get another lefty. Does Jepsen get non-tendered?

[m0nkey]

We need pitching dipoto, not more offense!

[tdawg87]

Great signing. If there was ONE reliever I wanted this offseason it was Joe Smith.

[Scott34]

Love it.  Good move.  5M is pretty hefty though, but I like this.

[ettin]

I could certainly see Smith in late inning relief/closing in stadiums like Texas.

Somehow, someway, this will backfire.

I really don't want to spend any more on the 'pen.

Looks pretty solid to me.

I expect this thread to go maybe 2 pages.

I hope his first season as an Angel works out better than Burnett's first season as an Angel. Most people liked the Burnett signing, even though there was recent injury issues. 

[Jimmag]

Looks solid for pen. Good move.

Sweet signing!

Do not trust Kohn at all....but next year the Halos will definitely have more quality minor league options to turn to. Morin and Alvarez should be major league ready

[tdawg87]

Now sign Howell for 2/6.

[mtangelsfan]

Good move

You all know my feelings about Kohn

 

I just really don't want to spend any more on the 'pen.  It's such a crapshoot.  Adding Burnett and Smith is really nice.
