Alberto Callaspo agrees to $3.15M deal with Angels

Third baseman Alberto Callaspo and the Los Angeles Angels have agreed to a $3.15 million, one-year contract that avoided arbitration. The Angels announced a deal Monday with Callaspo, who batted .288 with six homers and 46 RBIs last season with the Angels, who acquired him in a trade with Kansas City in July 2010. He made $2 million. The Venezuelan infielder spent most of 2011 as the Angels' starting third baseman, providing little power but leading the club with a .366 on-base percentage. Gold Glove shortstop Erick Aybar is the Angels' only remaining player in arbitration. Los Angeles is working on a long-term deal with Aybar.
