The Los Angeles Angels sign Latroy Hawkins
The Angels have signed 38-year old righty reliever Latroy Hawkins to a 1-year, $3 million dollar deal. Hawkins pitched in 52 games (0 starts) for the Brewers last year and he was 3-1 with a 2.42 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP. He has now pitched in 823 games (98 starts) in his first 17 years in the majors and he is 63-85 with 87 saves, a 4.48 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP. This was a good move for the Angels as Hawkins has been a solid reliever. His career numbers are skewed by the fact that he couldn’t handle being a starting pitcher early in his career.
