" Reliever Andrew Bailey announced today (via Instagram) that he is hanging up his spikes in favor of a non-playing position with the Angels. Bailey will become the organization’s instant replay coordinator and coaching assistant, per Pedro Moura of The Athletic (Twitter link). "

Nice that the Angels are giving him a position in-house.

Nice that he is not doing a semi retirement rehab for the entire season on the Angels dime like the fearsome foursome did back in the Dipoto days. He knew he was done and took a job in baseball, which he obviously loves.

His arm fell off but he still has a role to play for the team.

Good for him.

What happened to the current instant replay guy? Wasn't is Steve Solis?

Props to the Angels for extending a job to him....   Little things like that tend to come back in a good way to an organization.
