Friday, August 13, 2004Angels rumblings and grumblingsJayson Stark has a couple of interesting Angel-related notes in his latest Rumblings and Grumblings. First, Ramon Ortiz has failed to pass waivers and has been pulled back. That brings to an end all trade rumors involving Ortiz. Do your self a favor and check out some of the names on the 'passed waivers' list. Some of the more interesting names for Angel fans: Buddy Groom, Jason Grimsley, Brian Anderson, Al Levine, Justin Speier and Darrell May are all available. Secondly, he has this interesting tidbit on Robb Quinlan: In Anaheim, Robb Quinlan may have seemed to come out of nowhere to become the fifth rookie in the last 20 years to roll off a 20-game hitting streak. But he was once the Angels' minor-league player of the year. And maybe their biggest challenge is to figure out a position for him.Ummm, no. Nothing against Robb Quinlan, but there's no way he can play first base on an everyday basis for a championship caliber team. I'm also not a huge Kotchman fan, but he seems to have more of the pieces than does Quinlan and he should get a chance to put them all together. |
