Why Angels Fans Should Be Happy With The Shane Victorino Trade

The Angels just landed Shane Victorino and a whole heapin' of salary relief from the Red Sox, in exchange for Josh Rutledge. Here's why you should like the deal.

Currently, the Angels are starting Daniel Robertson, who has put up 0.4 rWAR/0.2 fWAR and is projected by Steamer to put up 0.0 fWAR going forward. Don't get me wrong, I like Robertson. He's had some nice ABs, made some really nice plays in the outfield, and he doesn't try to actively injure other, more key players on the field. Which brings me to Matt Joyce.
