It seemed like it took all day for the Angels to seal the deal for All-Star pitch Scott Kazmir, acquiring him from the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays get rookie prospects from Arkansas Travelers - Alexander Torres and from Rancho Cucamonga Quakes - Matthew Sweeney. Kazmir should add much needed depth to the Angels rotation. Scott Kazmir, a lefty out of Houston, TX is currently posting a 5.92 era with a 8-7 record. These numbers should improve with the gold glove defensive support the Angels will be providing. Kazmir will round out the Angels' starting rotation joining John Lackey, Ervin Santana, Joe Saunders and Jered Weaver. If any of these 5 hurlers get hot, they all have the potential of being the #1 starter in the rotation. This season just got a whole lot better!
