The Angels have re-signed 29-year old righty swinging outfielder Juan Rivera to a new 3-year deal. He played in 89 games for the Angels last season and he was 63 for 256 (.246 avg, .720 OPS) with 31 runs scored, 12 homers and 45 RBIs. He has now played in 555 games in his major league career and he is 497 for 1,748 (.284 avg, .799 OPS) with 224 runs scored, 72 homers and 278 RBIs. The Angels were smart to re-sign Rivera who should finally get his chance to get full time at bats in 2009.
