It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the Los Angeles Angels.
According to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times the Los Angeles Angels have acquired Kyle Kubitza in a trade with the Atlanta Braves:
“Kubitza is 24-year-old third base prospect for the future. He was selected in the third round of the 2011 MLB draft. He was ranked the #22 best prospect in the Braves system after the 2013 season.
Last season he hit .295 collecting 31 doubles and 21 stolen bases. This season the Angels will start David Freese at third base but many people believe the job is Kubitza’s to lose in the years to come.
The Angels also acquired Nate Hyatt. Hyatt was a thirteenth round selection out of Appalachian State University. Last season Hyatt posted a 5-3 record with a 2.71 ERA.”
