Angels Roster Moves

As the other Angel bloggers have already noted, the September callups:

Shane Halter: The Little Glove of Concrete got hauled back up to the majors again. What I think everyone else overlooked was that Halter played 17 games as an outfielder in his latest stint in the minors, versus 4 at 1B, 6 at 2B, 3 at 3B, and 7 at SS. Translation: expect to see him as a fifth outfielder rather than a reserve infielder.
Andres Galarraga, whom we can assume will take on an occaisional DH role.
Casey Kotchman is now with the big club.
Ben Weber and his obscene 8.59 ERA have been DFA'd to Salt Lake.
Barry Wesson has been outrighted to Salt Lake. (Maybe somebody more familiar with the minor leagues can distinguish the difference between a DFA and an outrighting.)
Finally -- FWIW -- I just heard from a coworker, who is also a cousin of Nick Gorneault, that Nick has been promoted to Salt Lake. Gorneault hit .282/.343/.484 for AA Arkansas, with 21 home runs. Update: Confirmed on the Stingers' website.
