Angels Claim Sean Coyle From Red Sox

By Steve Adams | July 18, 2016 at 12:50pm CDT

The Angels have claimed minor league second baseman Sean Coyle off waivers from the Red Sox, reports Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports (via Twitter). The 24-year-old was designated for assignment by Boston last week.

Coyle once rated as one of the more promising farmhands in the Boston organization but struggled through a dismal 2015 season and hasn’t fared much better in 2016. The 5’8″ infielder batted .295/.371/.512 with 16 homers and 13 steals in 384 Double-A plate appearances as a 22-year-old in 2014 but hasn’t been productive since. After a poor showing in the 2014 Arizona Fall League, Coyle batted .193/.294/.341 in 52 games last season as he battled a trapezius injury throughout the 2015 season. In 64 games this year, he’s batted an equally disappointing .165/.263/.280, prompting his DFA.

The Halos, however, can use all of the middle infield depth they can get, and Coyle isn’t so far removed from his status as an interesting prospect that a rebound is out of the question. He won’t turn 25 until next January and already has a fair bit of experience at the Triple-A level, even if his results there have been unsightly to this point in his career. Coyle has always been strikeout-prone, but he saw a significant uptick in his whiff rates in both 2015 and 2016, so the Halos will hope they can generate more contact out of him and restore some of his stock following a change of scenery.

    This is a solid claim for the Angels. He now slots in at 8th on MLB Pipeline within the Angel’s organization.

    Definitely worth a claim. Not many who wouldn’t be worth a claim in Halo land.

    just a little over 14 months from Redsox fans saying he was to headline a deal for Cole Hamels.

      That’s supposed to help?

      The Angels have Heaney and Richards who will be coming back from injury. Toss in Shoemaker and Santiago and no, it’s not a rotation I love, but it can compete with a good lineup and bullpen.

      It’s going to take a haul for Trout, and I mean an absolute haul. You aren’t getting Trout for Teheran and Aybar. I’d be shocked if Trout got moved for Teheran, Newcomb, Swanson, and Allard.. Trout has virtually untouchable trade value, and if you want him, it’s going to cost you the farm.

    Trouts value to the Angels is that he is responsible for 50% of the fans that go to the games. No one could replace that.
