Angels Go To Arbitration With K-Rod, Other Notes
- The Angels will go to arbitration with closer Francisco Rodriguez, who is asking for $12.5M; the club has proposed $10M.
- The Angels also invited Dee Brown and Chad Hermanson to spring training as NRIs.
- Both Kendry Morales and Ervin Santana have had fine seasons in the Dominican Winter League:
On Monday, Santana outdueled former teammate Bartolo Colon in a 5-1 victory over Cibaenas in the DWL championship series. Pitching five scoreless innings, allowing four hits and a walk while striking out four, Santana subdued a lineup that included MLB regulars Miguel Tejada, Rafael Furcal and Edwin Encarnacion.
"We've gotten solid reports on him," Reagins said of Santana, who is 3-1 with a 2.13 ERA. "His concentration and confidence have been outstanding, and the location of his fastball, breaking ball and changeup have been great. His last two outings, he didn't give up a run. He's pitching with confidence, and that's exciting to see."
...
"Kendry has been focusing on hitting the offspeed stuff and improving from the right side," Reagins said. "He's hit .275 with four homers and a nice OPS. He gives us power from both sides, and we're hoping for big things from him."
- I completely missed Tommy Murphy signing with the Nationals.
- The annual Randy Johnson will be back healthy soon smoke signal has come up from Arizona, and so we must be getting closer to pitchers and catchers waiting for labrum injuries.
- The A's signed Chad Gaudin to a one-year, $1.775M deal, avoiding arbitration. He was the team's last remaining arbitration-eligible player.
