Biggio was actually rather impressive at the Triple-A ranks<\/a>. In 176 plate appearances across 41 games, he managed to slash .285\/.375\/.464 with four homers, 23 RBI, an 11.4% walk rate and a 120 wRC+, which made it slightly puzzling at the time as to why the Royals opted to DFA him over other struggling names.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Why they chose that decision is beside the point though, as they did and now he ends up with the Angels.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While he’s not on the 40-man roster right now, the possibility he ends up on the Angels major league squad before season’s end isn’t unfathomable by any means.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If he looks more like the Triple-A version of himself and not the major league hitter who’s struggled to hold down a spot on a major league roster the past few seasons, his utility to play 1B, 2B, 3B and the corner outfield could certainly be of use to this Angels roster.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Infielders like promising rookie Christian Moore (.182\/.304\/.364 with an 87 wRC+) and veteran Luis Rengifo (.247\/.293\/.327 with a 72 wRC+) haven’t exactly lit the world on fire this season. And bench options like Gustavo Campero (.160\/.276\/.300 with a 65 wRC+) and the newly acquired Oswald Peraza (.153\/.211\/.239 with a 25 wRC+) are certainly replaceable names. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Biggio is a career 100 wRC+ hitter with a .223\/.339\/.373 slash line, 52 HR, 190 RBI in 561 career big league games between the Royals, Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves and most notably the Toronto Blue Jays – who he spent the first 5+ seasons of his career with.<\/p>\n
