LA Angels Top Prospect Countdown: #20 Abel De Los Santos

The LA Angels acquired De Los Santos in late October of last season. He was an international signing for the Texas Rangers back in 2009. He spent five so-so seasons with the Rangers before he was traded to the Washington Nationals, who decided to use him strictly as a relief pitcher instead of developing him as a starter like the Rangers had been doing.

De Los Santos spent a little over a year with the Nationals before being sent to the Reds. They allowed him to go onto waivers last year, which is when he was claimed by the Angels.
