This is a great signing......Angels are only 1 game back in the wild card standings.
He can help that line-up.

28 HR`s..... 81 RBI`s
It`s a power bat for the stretch run.....28 HR`s and 81 RBI`s sure can`t hurt.
Angels land veteran 2B Brandon Phillips in trade with Braves.
The Atlanta Braves have agreed to trade veteran second baseman Brandon Phillips to the Los Angeles Angels, according to multiple media reports and sources who spoke with ESPN.
He was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Chicago Cubs and needed to approve the trade.
The Angels sent Triple A catcher Tony Sanchez to the Braves as part of the deal.
The Angels (69-65) aggressively swung their second trade of the day to add veteran stars for their playoff push. A few hours earlier, the Angels acquired four-time All-Star outfielder Justin Upton from the Detroit Tigers.
Phillips is likely to play second base for the Angels, who are struggling at the position. The three-time All-Star is a four-time Gold Glove winner joining a solid defensive team.
Phillips, who was acquired before the season in a trade with the Cincinnati Reds, was hitting .291 with 11 home runs and 52 RBIs for Atlanta this season.

They just picked up 2 pretty good players for the stretch run.
I would like to see Mike Trout in the playoffs.
