Nice add for them, he was very good for the Giants two years ago. Good long relief/spot starter depth for only the cost of a minor league deal.

Triple A fodder.

Even though he didn’t have the best year last year, I’m a little surprised it took until now for Petit to sign. He’s versatile and has a pretty good track record, at least as a reliever. Good add for a team that needs options.

Every move Eppler makes improves the depth of the organization in a strategic way without costing the team over the long term. These aren’t A-list players, but they don’t have to be. They are providing leverage for the major level team and depth at AAA, allowing the younger players to develop without having to trade them away.

What young players?

Im so fed up with uneducated people saying that the Angels don’t have any decent prospects. How about actually look into their system before talking like you know all about it when all you’ve done is read an article about the farm system a year ago. The Angels still have decent, high ceiling guys like Meyer, Jones, Thaiss, Ward, Fletcher, and Marsh just name a few. So yeah, those young players

While the Angels farm is certainly improved from a year ago, they still rank in the bottom five pretty much unanimously across anyone that ranks farm systems, so I wouldn’t call it uneducated to point out the fact that their farm is still weak.

Petit was the original Rafael Montero…Fringy but occasionally useful

Petit has a pretty good setup, all things considered. A true-blue elite curveball and decent slider, a deceptive “invisiball” fastball with decent punch for a soft-tosser, and good command. His only real issue is that his changeup has lost depth as he’s gotten older, and it’s not really an effective pitch anymore. He could be pretty good out of the pen for the Angels, and act as a swingman in a pinch. Might be one of those guys to benefit from the Rich Hill approach (i.e. throw your breaking ball as your primary pitch and use your fastball as an off-speed), but that might be a long-shot.

nice move

They still won’t make the playoffs and might not even be .500 but the Angels have quietly improved a little here and a little there and should be a much better team this year.

Geez, this guy screwed the Nats twice. Once in that marathon playoff game while playing for the Giants, and once by playing FOR them last year.
