LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Angels capped a productive Winter Meetings by adding to their bullpen depth with the selection of right-hander Luke Bard during the Rule 5 Draft on Thursday.
The move came less than 12 hours after the Angels addressed their biggest need of the offseason by announcing the acquisition of veteran second baseman Ian Kinsler from the Tigers for Minor League prospects Troy Montgomery and Wilker Hernandez.
General manager Billy Eppler and his staff now head back to Southern California with just a few items left on their offseason shopping list.
