Angels agree to terms with RHP Ryan Madson

 

Its official the Angels sign RHP Ryan Madson.

 

Angels inked Ryan to a 1-year, $3.5-million deal with incentive of $2.5 million based on the number of days he spends on the active roster and an additional $1 million in games finished incentives. (LA TIMES)

I really like this signing because the Angels are very informed with Ryan's post surgery recovery because the Angels medical staff was the group that did the surgery and has been helping him in the rehabilitation so it is not like the Angels are going in with their eyes close.

 

According to Jayson Stark of ESPN, the Angels are making Jordan Walden available. However, I am not sure how I feel because Jordan is still young and he has a 100+ fastball. I just feel like he need to have confident in himself and learn from players like Scott Downs how to pitch. If the Angels sign one or two more relievers I might be ok with him being traded because I don't see the Angels getting much for him right now.
