The Angels take Ian Kinsler and his contract from the Tigers in exchange for two prospects.
The two prospects coming back to the Tigers will be outfielder Troy Montgomery and right-handed pitcher Wilkel Hernandez. They were ranked No. 20 and No. 24 in the Angels system, respectively.
…
The real prize is 18-year-old Wilkel Hernandez. Hernandez posted strong numbers in rookie ball last year for the Angels. He is a ways away, but has what Baseball Prospectur writer Mark Anderson calls “gobs of potential”.
Gobs of potential if he can stop walking over four batters per nine innings.
The Angels were awful at second base in 2017, with a .206/.274/.327 slash line. Only Cliff Pennington performed well offensively. Musings Marcels projects Kinsler to hit .265/.328/.432. Those aren’t MVP numbers, but the the Angels have now fixed offensive weakness at both DH and second base, so they should be looking at more runs in 2018.
