Trivia Question - past player

PrintA friend and I are wracking our brains trying to remember the name of a journeyman player the Angels picked up for a season about five years ago - I believe to fill the gap of Glaus/McPherson.
I only remember that the guy was caucasian, he never produced offensively, Scioscia stuck with him maddeningly, and when the bum was interviewed, he always claimed to be a trade-worthy commodity "at the peak of his career." They finally bagged him at the end of the season and ate the rest of his contract. I don't think he played anywhere after that.
No it was not Finley, but a very similar situation.
Any help?

Halter was only with the Halos for 46 games in 2004, 121 ABs. 22 of his 27 starts were at 3B.

Hillenbrand wasn't here five years ago...
he was here TWO years ago. What a bum is right. Hillenbloop Hillensuck, were two of the many names we gave him here at HH. 200AB’s with a .254 avg/.325obp. Woof.

Brother of Hans Gruber, "Die Hard" movie terrorist.
Wrong decade. Kelly Gruber played in ’93, in an Angels career that quite eerily mirrors Shane Halter-tops.
