KEVIN JEPSEN RUMORS & GOSSIP
2013 Player Projection: Kevin Jepsen
No reliever makes Angels fans more nervous than Kevin Jepsen, but no pitcher might be more important to the Halos in 2013. Needless to say, it is going to be quite the interesting year, either good or bad or maybe both, from the up-and-down reliever.
2012 Stats: 44.2 IP, 3-2, 2 SV, 3.02 ERA. 3.21 FIP, 39 H, 12 BB, 3 HR, 38 SO, 0.84 GB/FB, 0.6 fWAR

Angels avoid arbitration with reliever Jepsen
The Los Angeles Angels and reliever Kevin Jepsen have agreed to a one-year contract worth $1,181,000, avoiding arbitration with the hard-throwing right-hander.
The Angels announced the deal Tuesday night.
Jepsen went 3-2 with a 3.02 ERA last year, returning to an important role in the Angels' bullpen after missing much of the 2011 season with a knee injury. He has been a steady...

Angels agree to terms with reliever Jepsen
The Angels avoided arbitration with reliever Kevin Jepsen on Tuesday, agreeing to terms with the hard-throwing right-hander on a 1.181-million deal for 2013 that includes an awards package.
Jepsen, who rebounded from 2011 knee surgery to go 3-2 with a 3.02 earned-run average in 49 appearances last season, had asked for 1.4 million, and the team countered with 975,000, a fairly sizeable...

Can the Angels really trust Kevin Jepsen?
Here is a scary thought, Kevin Jepsen. That's it, just the idea of him.
That probably seems like an awfully mean thing to say about the one member of the Angel bullpen who wasn't a greasefire in the second half of the 2012 season. But the fact of the matter is that we've all been fooled before by Jepsen. Let's not forget how great Jepsen looked in 2010. ...
Angels' Jepsen recalls his Olympic moment
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Angels pitcher Kevin Jepsen watched the just-completed Summer Olympics with interest, but he couldn't help feeling that something was missing.
Like baseball. There was none this year.
Jepsen was a member of the U.S. team that won a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but that was the last time the sport was played. Baseball and softball were eliminated...

Angels hang on to beat Yankees
NEW YORK -- Los Angeles Angels reliever Kevin Jepsen tried to treat it like any other situation. "'Me against you, here it is,'" Jepsen said of his approach after he recorded the final out of the Angels' 10-8 victory over the Yankees on Sunday. Trouble is, the "him" was another one of the Yankees' current Murderers' Row of hitters in Alex...
Angels hold on, avoid sweep in Bronx
Kevin Jepsen got Alex Rodriguez to pop out with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and the Los Angeles Angels took advantage of New York's baserunning follies to beat the Yankees 10-8 Sunday.
With seemingly no lead safe recently at Yankee Stadium, Mark Teixeira hit a two-run homer in the ninth off Ernesto Frieri to make it 10-7, the first runs off the closer since he joined...

Game Recap 4/17/12 -- Wow.....just...wow - Athletics 5 Angels 3
You know... I'm glad the game went the way it did in the 8th because maybe now Scioscia will stop putting so much undeserved trust into Kevin Jepsen. Jesus Christ the guy is garbage, he's always been bad and people think just because he put up a tolerable year in '10 that he's going to somehow find the potential that he doesn't have. Maybe Dipoto will be able...
Angels' Kevin Jepsen ready to weigh in as potential setup man
Kevin Jepsen, a key reliever in 2009 but slowed by knee issues the last two years, appears sound after surgery, is back up to his original playing weight and hopes to regain his high-90s velocity.You can see it in the ease and comfort of his delivery, his explosive thrust toward the plate and the way the ball comes out of his hand. You can hear it in the loud pop of the catcher's mitt.

Assessing the Internal Options for the Bullpen
While the Angels bullpen hasn't really been something to get worked up about (unless it's a rage you're building) this past offseason has given fans hope that the 'pen can return to at least a semi-decent form. Now, there is still the nagging question of what Dipoto plans on doing with the last open spot in the bullpen, we all know he has one more move left up his...
