Angels Designate Noe Ramirez For Assignment

By Anthony Franco | May 16, 2021 at 11:32am CDT

The Angels announced they’ve designated reliever Noé Ramirez for assignment. The move clears space on the active and 40-man rosters for Hunter Strickland, who has been activated after being acquired from the Rays yesterday.

Ramirez has pitched for Los Angeles over the past four seasons. He was a durable, generally productive reliever in the middle innings from 2018-20, working to a 4.13 ERA/4.20 FIP across 172 innings. The Angels traded Ramirez to the Reds over the winter as part of the Raisel Iglesias deal.

The 31-year-old had a very rough Spring Training with Cincinnati, leading the Reds to cut him loose before the start of the season. Ramirez promptly returned to the Angels’ organization on a minor league deal and was selected to the roster earlier this week. The veteran righty went on to make two appearances, allowing a pair of runs on five hits with a walk and no strikeouts through 3 1/3 innings.

Los Angeles will now have a week to trade or waive Ramirez. As a player with more than three years of MLB service, Ramirez has the right to refuse a minor league assignment in favor of free agency if he clears outright waivers, although doing so would mean forfeiting the remainder of his guaranteed salary for this season.

    Wouldn’t it be great if the Angels had a pitcher named Yes Ramirez, and they called him up to replace Noe Ramirez? Or maybe it’s just me.

      That guys name would have to be “Yes” Ramirez. As in has a workable fastball rather than the assortment of junk “Noe” throws all the time.

      Question of the day.. Is he worth the effort of boras taking the time hyping his 1 season of being a fair middle reliever before 29 teams figured this out?

    Yes or Noe question. Will he accept being sent down to the Minors or try Free Agency?

    Nothing says “career in trouble” quite like getting designated to make room for Hunter Strychnine.

    This entire bullpen other than Rodriguez and Mayers are Perry’s people, which tells me Perry is an idiot. A blind man could see the problem.

      I’m pretty sure Minasian knows more about evaluating baseball talent than some beer-belly posting on a chat site.

        baseball executives are evaluated by results only. so far, minasian has been as bad as any gm the angels ever had. in fact he has been the worst!

          People make mistake, but so far Perryhas not gotten one thing right. But the big problem is the pen.

          You don’t enter a sprint race with a team of fat Alberts. It was so obvious for anyone with a modicum of baseball knowledge to realize the Angels didn’t have a bullpen.

          How could any baseball man miss that? In this market, how do you screw that up? No one competent would. Perry better learn fast because at his current skill level, he’s not competent.

          The bullpen was an obvious problem itself

          That problem is compounded greatly when you also have starters that can not go deep into games, another issue the Angels have. Of the 29 clubs with at least 35 games, only Toronto has fewer IP from their starters

          Total pitching failure – once again, as it is every year with this club. It’s rather unbelievable honestly

          To be fair, Maddon has a bad habit of pulling pitchers before its necessary.

    Obviously he doesn’t. And you have proved you don’t know more than me. But I’m sure the Angels can find someone smarter than me, and that ain’t Perry.

    Stupid is as stupid does and Perry had an imbecilic off-season.

    You’ve disagreed with me all off-season, which means you’ve been wrong all off-season.

    There are other players that should have been DFA’d before Ramirez. Hopefully he’ll stick around in the minors.

      When you compare Ramirez to the Angels staff in a vacuum, you are correct. But he stinks compared to MLB pitching. It’s typical for Angels to retain pitchers that have bright moments as if they are the norm and hoping for the consistent repeat that never comes. Bedrosian was a perfect example. He had one good season and we hung onto him for years waiting for a repeat. I think Manasian and Maddon want to do the right thing, but I believe they are limited by Moreno who has never valued pitching from the fan perspective.

    When we released most of the bullpen this winter, I thought it was the first step in a completely overhauled pitching staff. But then we acquired a bunch of other mediocre pitching. I’m against the huge pitching contracts like Cole and Bauer, but there have been a boat load of affordable 2nd tier pitchers that we ignored over the past several seasons. We dump $51m in salaries at the end of the 2021 season with Pujols and Upton leaving. I can only hope the plan is to truly improve pitching with that money. But based on history, I can see them spending it all on a couple of over the hill outfielders both hoping to squeeze a couple more years out of their careers as we overpay them for past performance.
