Aybar signs extension with Angels

Via Fox Sports West  |  April 19, 2012
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The agreement between the Angels and shortstop Erick Aybar on a contract extension can only be viewed in positive terms, both for the club and the player. By signing Aybar for four years and 35 million after earlier locking up second baseman Howie Kendrick long term, the team has now secured its middle infielders through the 2016 season. But shelling out big contracts...

Via AP on Fox  |  April 18, 2012
The Los Angeles Angels are close to finalizing a contract extension for Gold Glove shortstop Erick Aybar. Angels spokesman Tim Mead confirmed Wednesday the club is getting close to a new deal for the switch-hitting leadoff man, who would have been a sought-after free agent this fall. Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto has been negotiating with Aybar's agents since shortly...

Angels' Trumbo still seeking comfort at third

Via Fox Sports West  |  April 18, 2012
ANAHEIM, Calif. In the quiet of the Angels clubhouse Tuesday afternoon, Mark Trumbo tried his best to explain a confounding situation. It made sense, and yet it didn't. Two days after hitting his second home run of the season and lifting his batting average to .375, Trumbo sat for a second consecutive game. His bat might be worthy of a spot in the starting lineup, but his...

Does Mark Trumbo really need to be freed?

Via Monkey with a Halo  |  April 19, 2012
Free Mark Trumbo!!!  Free him now!  So says most any Angel fan you ask about anything even tangentially related to Angels baseball.  The way this large subset of Halo fans would tell it, the fact that Mark Trumbo has not started in three games and has a mere 19 plate appearances thus far this season is the greatest injustice the baseball world has seen since A.J. Pierzynski duped...

Trumbo not angered by lack of playing time

Via Fox Sports West  |  April 18, 2012
It has become one of the questions surrounding the Angels as they've stumbled to a 4-7 start: Why isn't Mark Trumbo playing more? The young slugger led the team with 29 home runs and 87 RBI last season and finished second in the American League Rookie of the Year voting. However, he was displaced from first base by the signing of Albert Pujols. The plan was to get Trumbo...

The Los Angeles Angels and Gold Glove-winning shortstop Erick Aybar agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension. The deal is worth a reported $35 million, according to the Los Angeles Times. "It took a while, but I don't think there was ever a thought that we wouldn't get to this point," Angeles general manager Jerry Dipoto told the newspaper. Aybar, 28...

What should Erick Aybar get in a contract extension?

Via Monkey with a Halo  |  April 17, 2012
If recent reports are to be believed, it is only a matter of time before the Angels lock up Erick Aybar to a lucrative contract extension.  Nothing is official yet, but reports are circling around a contract somewhere in the neighborhood of five years and $50 million for Aybar.  That seems to be what Aybar is asking for, anyway.  But is that what he should get? We could debate...

Angels Extend Erick Aybar

Via Fangraphs  |  April 18, 2012
Forgoing free agency is the new hotness. After already locking up his double play partner Howie Kendrick back in January, the Angels gave Erick Aybar a reported four year, $35 million contract extension today. Aybar is under contract for 2012 at just over $5 million, so this represents a pretty nice raise in annual average value, and assuming that the contract covers 2013-2016...

Is Alberto Callaspo now trade bait?

Via Monkey with a Halo  |  April 19, 2012
With news of Erick Aybar signing a contract extension coming out this week, it should increase the odds that Alberto Callaspo is traded for relief help.  The fact that Aybar will definitely be around next year would seem to make Maicer Izturis expendable but I’m thinking Jerry Dipoto knows Arte Moreno did not spend the big bucks this off-season to use an unproven back-up at shortstop...

De-Sciosciafying the Angels lineup

Via Monkey with a Halo  |  April 18, 2012
There's been quite a bit of complaining over the way Scioscia has been handle the lineup the past weekend, and with good reason too. Who wouldn't be a little frustrated with the way the lineup has been managed thus far? He's burying the teams hottest hitters in the bottom of the lineup, he's thrust his veterans into the middle of the order when they've been...
