  • Angels Sign Mark Mulder - Out For Season

    Mark Mulder will attempt his comeback with the Angels | HardballTalk

    I always liked Mark Mulder from when he was an Athletic with Zito and Hudson. Too bad this isnt 2002. But anything from Mulder will be better than whatever Blanton gives the Angels.

    Making official what was speculated about last week the Angels have signed Mark Mulder to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com.

    Mulder hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2008 and hasn’t been healthy and effective in the majors since 2005, so he’s certainly a long shot at age 36.

    Giants general manager Brian Sabean indicated to reporters last month that Mulder was seeking a major-league contract and 40-man roster spot, but that always seemed highly unlikely and sure enough he’ll have to compete for a gig with the Angels.

    Mulder was reportedly throwing in the low-90s during a recent tryout for teams.

          Mark Mulder ruptures achilles, likely out for season - MLB Daily Dish

          Angels left-hander Mark Mulder is not expected to pitch this season after rupturing his achilles in agility drills on Saturday, according to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times. Mulder was attempting a comeback after not pitching in the major leagues since 2008.

          Mulder, 36, signed a minor league deal with the Angels in early January after drawing interest from many teams as a free agent. He was set to earn $1MM if he made the Opening Day roster, and could have potentially earned $6MM if he met all of the incentive clauses in his contract.

          Mulder seemed like a leading candidate to snag the fifth spot in the Angels' rotation, but new acquisition Tyler Skaggs will likely have to battle veteran Joe Blanton for that spot. The team could look to add a starter, but the free agent market is limited with camps opening across Arizona and Florida.

          While it is not clear if Mulder's injury will signify the true end of his career, today's news is definitely discouraging for a veteran who claimed that his arm felt better than ever. Mulder sent out a tweet on Saturday, claiming that his son's reaction was the hardest part of the entire ordeal.
