He spent most of his time pitching in relief and struggled in his major league debut. The Angels sent left-hander Hector Santiago and a minor league relief prospect, Alan Busenitz, to Minnesota for Meyer and right-hander Ricky Nolasco. If Meyer can come close to what he once was expected to be, the Angels will win the trade. He made his first major league start in May while feeling subpar, he said, and was immediately optioned to triple-A, where he did not pitch for a month. Choi logged a .960 OPS in triple-A this season but a .618 OPS in 117 major league plate appearances.
