and the rich get richer!

The question is why ? He doesn't hit HR`s or hit for a high AVG. Just more dumpster diving!

I'm surprised you're keeping count.

[jsnpritchett]

Rotation depth, duh

 

He did actually pitch in one game last year.  Hmmmmmm...

[totdprods]

Eppler is CRAZY about guys who don't strike out much. 

 

He may be insurance in case we lose Cunningham to waivers this weekend.

Salt Lake is going to be awwwwesome this year.

[Angel Oracle]

Who's next?    Trayvon Robinson?    Hey, at least he stole a HR away from a Halos player once.

[jgimondo]

Rotation depth?   AAA will have a very good team though.

[itsKnoppUitsme]

Well, he did hit 429 against the Doyers in the 2013 postseason! So he's OK in my book!

He made the best catch I've ever seen:

 

[ukyah]

that's a great catch, but there's no way that's the best catch you've ever seen. certainly not as an angels fan.

The Edmonds catch is still the best catch I have ever seen. But yeah, happy to have Robinson on our team. 

[Tank]

Edmonds, Trout, Devon White . . . But that was still a nice catch.

[Angel Oracle]

Edmonds' in KC and Trout's in Baltimore are 1-2 for sure amongst Halos catches.   

Third, for impact and clutchness, probably Downing/Lynn destroying the LF fence, and stealing a HR, at Angel Stadium in September 1982 in a heated race with the Royals. 

 

Around MLB?    Have to include Willie Mays' catch in the 1954 WS.

Clutchness?   In addition to Mays' catch, how about the one in the 9th inning that preserved Buerhle's perfecto for the ChiSox?

 

Edit:  Can't believe I forgot Ersty's August 2000 catch in Old Skankee Stadium.
