The Angels have claimed righty J.C. Ramirez off waivers from the Reds, according to the Halos’ communications department (on Twitter).
Ramirez posted a 6.40 ERA, 7.8 K/9 and 3.11 K/BB rate over 32 1/3 innings out of Cincinnati’s bullpen this season, allowing an ungainly seven homers over that stretch. The 27-year-old has a 6.41 ERA over 80 career innings with the Reds, Diamondbacks and Phillies dating back to 2013. He could serve as bullpen depth in Anaheim, given how the Angels already have a number of right-handed relief options, or it’s possible another move could be forthcoming.
GET RID OF FERNANDO SALAS PLEASE!!!
Eppler… If you are going tinplate the roll of a
“Reject Collector” … Don’t forget Ernesto Frieri… He’s running loose out there…
If you are going to play…. Sorry for the typo…
Every GM plays that role. All 30 teams have a list of so called rejects. Here we call them low risk/high reward emergency options.
Well…. At least his stats fit in with the Angels. He should have no problem fitting in. Should feel like home for him.
Absolutely! We’ll take anyone with ERA 5 and over….
He has a great arm but the need more movement. The Reds really want to keep him but had no options.
