PT TOMORROW: AL West—Mysteries without any clues
Apr 28 2014
For the fourth time since being acquired by the Angels in early 2012, Ernesto Frieri (RHP, LAA), is out as LAA closer. As in the past, Frieri has gone through a week-plus stretch during which he has been unable to locate his fastball, a predicament compounded by opposing hitters siting on a pitch that he throws more than 80% of the time. It's happened again in April, as he's allowed 5 HR allowed in his first 11 2/3 IP. In the past, Frieri has eventually been able to rebound. And fortunately for his owners, LAA's long-time absence of a legitimate closing alternative has allowed Frieri get the job back, despite recording an unremarkable 3.80/3.47 ERA/xERA in 2013.
