Chacin is a eight year pro. He played six years with the Colorado Rockies before joining the Arizona Diamondbacks and then the Braves this year.

Chacin hasn’t really pitched in the big leagues since 2013. In 2013 he pitched almost 200 innings where he posted a 14-10 record.

With all the injuries to the Angels they needed to add something to the rotation and Chacin will get a chance to prove his worth.
