The Angels announced today that they have outrighted lefty John Lamb and infielder Sherman Johnson. Both players were assigned to Triple-A after clearing waivers.
Lamb, 28, landed in the Halos organization after injuries (and a 2017 suspension for a drug of abuse) wiped out much of his former promise. He threw well for the club’s top affiliate, working to a 3.44 ERA with 9.8 K/9 and 2.7 BB/9 over 49 2/3 innings across 13 starts, but was bombed in his ten MLB frames.
As for Johnson, who is also 28 years of age, he received a brief major league promotion after spending the past four years in the upper minors. Over 979 career plate appearances at Triple-A, he carries a .241/.345/.367 slash with 15 home runs as well as 128 walks against 198 strikeouts.
Lamb was in the Angels organization in 2017
Well this could be a very interesting pickup if he has conquered his demons
He had TJ in June or July
they RELEASED him !!!
Still with the team. Cleared waivers and assigned to AAA.
Good luck to both, finding new homes.
they are both still on the team. just removed from the 40 man roster. :)
Yes but another team can claim them. Lamb can elect to be a FA
No one can claim them. Both cleared waivers and assigned to AAA.
I believe Lamb had TJS this year, did he not?
He did
