Technically Shea Hillenbrand is now an Angel

In a punny turn of events, Shea Hillenbrand, the player famous for being such an asshole that his manager challenged him to a fist-fight, is now an Angel. Charlie points out that Hillenbrand is a typical Bill Stoneman type of Angel, he hits for a good average but not a good OBP with decent slugging. Of course the only reason this is interesting to Pirate fans is because Hillenbrand is now another player blocking Casey Kotchman from the majors. Kotchman is left handed and can thump the ball pretty good (despite a lack of home run power in the minors) when healthy (though "when healthy" hasn't been often lately). If the whole LaRoche thing doesn't work out, Kotchman is probably a good alternative and seemingly a lot more viable now that Hillenbrand is in LA.
