Fire Mickey Hatcher. An entire generation of Angels offense depends upon it.

TRADED FOR:
Giants Minor Leaguer ACCARDO along with Toronto Pitching Prospect Vinny Chulk.

Accardo's closest comp
on the Angels is probably Kevin Gregg.

Jeremy Accardo was 1-3 with a 4.91 ERA for the Giants - basically a middle to long relief type - 24 yrs old, signed as a nondrafted free agent three years ago.  Baseball America ranked him as the Giants #13 prospect going into this season (Giants had the 18th best minor league system, according to BA).

Pretty clear evidence that Stoneman and Scioscia took the clubhouse problems of Hillenbrand pretty seriously.

Not necessarily
May have been more that they didn't want to give up what middle relief we have...

What middle relief DO we have?
I didn't want Hillenbrand, but c'mon, generally, anytime you can trade your 11th pitcher (or worse) for a .300 hitter, you do it.  

If Stoneman wanted him, he could have had him.  Stoneman decided he didn't want the problems (and I agree).

I'm not Stoneman either, but ....
I can tell you they (meaning Mike and Bill) didn't want the problems. For explanation see all my posts from yesterday on Hillenbrand.
