The Angels made a series of roster moves involving their oft-rotated pitching staff. As MLB.com’s Alden Gonzalez first suggested (Twitter links), the team will designate lefty David Huff for assignment and place righty Cory Rasmus on the 15-day DL, clearing active roster spots for right-handers A.J. Achter and Al Alburquerque.
Huff, 31, surrendered ten earned runs in just 5 1/3 frames over two starts, allowing 13 hits and four home runs along the way. He had been tasked with stepping into the rotation while the club awaits Tim Lincecum, who is expected to be ready for major league action this weekend.
Achter has provided 11 1/3 innings of 4.76 ERA pitching on the year to the Halos’ pen, but this’ll be the first shot for the veteran Albuquerque. He has thrown 21 2/3 frames at Triple-A on the season, working to a 2.49 ERA with 10.4 K/9 with 4.2 BB/9.
I wish I could still pitch. The Angels may have looked at me. I wonder if they’d take a 52 year-old who throws mid 70s? LOL
Sounds like an older Jered Weaver.
Lmao cam couldn’t have said it better.
Maybe the White Sox will pick him up??? Huff offers just as much “pitchability” as Shields!!
Uhhhh, round 3 with the Yankees? Huff was a Girardi favorite as lefty situational..
