Angels Fly High With New Wings

Posted on July 28, 2012 by Mike

The Angels are soaring now after acquiring Zach Greinke, perhaps the most coveted of all available pitchers, just four days before the trading deadline.

Greinke Makes Angels Great

Greinke was 9-3 with the Brewers with a 3.44 ERA. The 28-year-old right hander gives the Angels a solid rotation (Jared Weaver, Dan Haren)  that now includes a pitcher who posts nearly a strikeout an inning.  As a member of the Kansas City Royals three years ago, Greinke won the American League Cy Young award.

Now the Angels have the wings, the arms and the bats (Albert Pujols, Mike Trout) to win it all. I predicted pre-season the Angels would win the American League pennant. And tonight, they may have just captured the flag.
