If any GM is out there looking for a potential stop gap at first base, I hear Shea Hillenbrand is available.The Angels waived infielder-designated hitter Shea Hillenbrand on Monday, a disappointment for Los Angeles after signing a $6.5 million, one-year contract in December.During his short, disappointing stay in Anaheim, Shea managed to hit .254 with three home runs and 22 RBI in 53 games played. The Angels designated Hillenbrand for assignment on June 28th, a day after he made a statement in the press asking the team to "play me or trade me."
Well Shea, they did neither. Take that. Not that they didn't try I'm sure, but I don't think most teams were willing to take on that $6.5 million salary while giving up a minor leaguer for a guy they could have much cheaper after a matter of days.
As for where Hillenbrand will end up now, the Yankees were one of the teams that the Angels had talks with, so I wouldn't be shocked if you saw him in pinstripes soon.
