I am often the first member of the staff to find out about a roster move, as I have set my phone to deliver tweet alerts when the transaction-tracking Twitter account @MLBRosterMoves tweets. I was, therefore, able to receive this notice.
Why not? Kaleb Cowart has been a wholly unimpressive major leaguer to date, with a grisly 46 wRC+ and .177/.241/.293 line in 380 PAs across four seasons. Still, Cowart is an able defender across the entire infield, has played a bit of outfield, and is still just 26 years of age. The 18th overall pick in the 2010 draft by the Angels is a 6’3, 220 lbs switch-hitter who would be a clearly useful MLB player if he could put it together even just slightly at the plate.
