Hansel Robles probably didn’t expect to find himself working with Mickey Calloway again this season. Calloway was managing the Mets when the team designated him for assignment after a rocky start to his 2018 campaign.
“I don’t think he was comfortable in his own skin in New York, for whatever reason,” Calloway recently said.
Robles left New York with a bloated ERA and searching for a new home. The Angels took a chance on him and, boy, have they been rewarded. Robles finished the 2018 season with a 2.97 ERA in Anaheim, setting himself up to take on bigger responsibilities.
