Callaspo provides solid defense and can play multiple positions if Cowart starts to push next year. Beyond that, he’s reasonably patient and consistent at a position that is egregiously thin at the Majors League level.

Other teams also have other positions. Tons of them. And it turns out they all have to field someone at those positions.

The Angels also have CJ Crohn, an all-bat guy who should be a Major League regular someday, but yeah, It’s pretty much Cowart and some dice-rolling pitching guys.

Kaleb Cowart. He was the Halos’ first round draft pick in 2010 and is a former HS Player of the Year. He was ranked in Keith Law’s Top 25 Prospects. He’s pretty much the only one left though.

Played a solid 3rd base especially 2nd half of the year. Switch hitter and he hit a couple game winner hrs late in the year. Angels are set. Best team in baseball. Lets play ball!

Not good for a contending team maybe the Royals though. Other teams have guys named Beltre and Cabrera

Boo! The only thing Callaspo can hit is his wife.

He’s boring but given how thin 3B is across the league, a smart deal for the Angels while they wait for their top prospect.
