    I'm a little surprised to see they signed him.

    I'm not sure why anyone would sign him. Didn't he have like 6 or 7 charges filed against stemming from a DUI or something? This is a strange move, although I guess now that you guys have Ruben Gotay, you don't really need to worry and can just screw around...

    Yeah not quite sure what to make of this pickup. I guess they wanted some experience off the bench but he seems a little unstable for my liking.

    He was fine when he was with the Angels but I haven't heard much about him since than.
