Angels return LHP Christian Friedrich to the Rockies

[disarcina]

For all those concerned that we would get next to nothing for letting T. Featherston go, - well you were and are right.

How the Angels kept Rule 5 guy on the 25 man roster all last season, taking up space in the dugout but playing little and getting barely 100 ABs -- just so we could KEEP HIM and not send him back to Colorado --

well, here we are - we DFA Featherston this year and send him ((I forgot where he landed -- it was a minor league deal for us one step ahead of DFA time running out) out to make space for LHP Christian Friedrich who we are told was once a prospect with great stuff........

and now we're sending him back to where he came..........so, yeah, we got less than nothing for Featherston and the taking up of a roster spot for the entire 2015 season.

Remember, we traded Featherston so we got something and also we had no one else capable of backing up SS last year. It would have been Featherston or someone like Ryan Jackson or Eric Stamets, neither would have done much with the bat either.

No big loss.

This is the definition of no big deal.  A DFA player ended up not being signed because of injury concerns.  The only negative thing that happened was the worst player on the roster was DFA to make room.

The Rockies released him. Now we can bring him on board and hope his arm doesn't fall off while reaching for the pen to sign his contract!
