Angels Sign Ty Kelly

By Jeff Todd | February 6, 2019 at 9:50am CDT

The Angels have added utilityman Ty Kelly on a minors deal, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports on Twitter .The agreement does not come with a spring invite, Robert Murray of The Athletic adds on Twitter.

Kelly, 30, has found his way to the majors in each of the past three seasons, though he has yet to command a lengthy shot at the game’s highest level. Through 188 total plate appearances, he carries a .203/.288/.323 slash.

While he’s capable of lining up in the corner outfield, Kelly has spent most of his time in the minors at second and third base. He has some experience at short, but hasn’t been trusted there in the majors, which significantly limits his utility.

Still, Kelly is a worthwhile depth piece to have on hand. Through parts of seven seasons at Triple-A, he’s a .272/.375/.392 hitter with nearly as many walks (281) as strikeouts (329).

      I guess he prefers west coast AAA teams (LAA team is in Salt Lake City).

    Will always root for this guy after his play on the Israeli baseball team. What a great WBC. Btw, Mensch on the Bench is one of my favorite mascots.

      Well not just yet. He did go to Sonic Burger with Bryce. They sat in Bryce’s car and talked for hours. They have a common fondness for The 3 Stooges. So anything is possible.

    Easy player to root for. Great on social media and with fan interaction.

    Also wrote an excellent 3 part series of his baseball experience, from the struggles of a minor league player to finally getting the call.

    If teams go to a 26 man roster, players like him will get a shot. With 13 man pitching staffs, it’s time.

    The best part of this signing was Kelly’s tweet about it.

    Many feel the same as I do. 40 million still below the tax and signing players that have had poor results over the last few years hoping for lighting in a bottle is a long shot. Allen is the only good pick up .

    My thought is they plan on a youth movement if these 1 year deals don’t pan out by July. Trout, I believe has informed them he will test the market, otherwise they would push payroll to at least 200 million.
