Chris Bootcheck has been Designated for Assignment to make room for Shea Hillenbrand on the Angels' 40-Man Roster.
Bootcheck is represented by Scott Boras so I think he is likely sticking around Anaheim for the time being...
In a revealing interview, Hillenbrand pleads his case against being typecast as a clubhouse cancer, pointing out that the Toronto organization seems to have a few different heads when it comes to treating players gone on personal business.
Biggest confirmation is that Hillenbrand grew up in Arcadia - so that is where he learned to strut around like a peacock!
