ERNESTO FRIERI RUMORS
Angels unearth another gem in the bullpen
Ten years after the franchise's only championship run, the Angels are being reminded of a key find during that 2002 World Series run. Right-hander Francisco Rodriguez, then 20 years old, was a September call-up in 2002. He struck out 13 in his first 5 2/3 innings, was added to the post-season roster and quickly became a bullpen weapon deployed by manager Mike Scioscia all the...

The Lineup Card: 10 Things We Learned in May by Baseball Prospectus
1. Ernesto Frieri is Good
Ernesto Frieri, not Pujols, Wilson, Iannetta, Hawkins, or Not-Mathis, is the clear frontrunner for Best Jerry Dipoto acquisition. Oh, yes, of course, it's only 12 innings of relief work. Hard to declare victory over 10 years of Albert Pujols with just 12 innings of relief work, but they are unfathomable innings of relief work: no runs, no hits, and...

Frieri Capitalizing On Opportunity With Angels
It was a minor swap made earlier this month, but Ernesto Frieri has already been a major contributor to the Angels’ bullpen. Since being acquired from the Padres for Alexi Amarista and Donn Roach more than three weeks ago, the 26-year-old right-hander has thrown 11 hitless innings for the Halos. With Jordan Walden stumbling out of the gate, Frieri has quickly assumed right...

Ernesto Frieri Earns First Save with Angels

Frieri Is The Guy
Ernesto Frieri got the save yesterday in the 11th inning, but Downs came on in the 9th in a tie game. On one hand, teams hold back their closer in a tie game in away games, in case they get the lead.

This used to be his home, the place where he spent parts of the past four seasons working as a relief pitcher for the San Diego Padres. But when he entered the game in the ninth inning, he was an employee of the Angels.
And in a way...
