| According to Lyle Spencer on Twitter, the Angels have agreed to re-sign Robb Quinlan to a minor league contract. |
Our View: Quinlan will try and make the team out of spring training as a utility man. Last year he played first, third and right and left field, hitting .243/.275/.339 in 120 plate appearances. The 33-year-old won't have any fantasy value, even if he makes the 25-man roster.

| Robb Quinlan was on the Twins' radar before they added veteran slugger Jim Thome today, according to Jon Morosi's (FOX Sports) twitter page. |
Our View: Quinlan would have served as a backup corner infielder for Minnesota. The 32-year-old vet remains unsigned after only hitting .243 over 115 at-bats with the Angels in 2009.

| The Rockies are said to be interested in Robb Quinlan, according to the Denver Post. |
Our View: Jamie Carroll is not likely to return to Colorado, and Quinlan could replace him as a utility man. The 32-year-old vet is a career .281 hitter, and wants to play in the NL so he can see more playing time.

| Robb Quinlan carried the Angels offense on Saturday, going 2-for-4 with three RBI in a 4-2 win over the A's. |
Our View: Quinlan has played sparingly this season and his three RBI brought his season total to just 14. He was filling in at first for Kendry Morales.

|
| The Angels have avoided salary arbitration with Robb Quinlan by signing the infielder to a one-year deal worth $1.1 million, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: The 31-year-old vet is not expected to hold any fantasy value in 2009 as a reserve with the Angels.

| Robb Quinlan started at third base over the first two games against the White Sox, and was forced out of action in the sixth inning on Saturday because of a tight groin, according to the LA Times. He did not play on Sunday. |
Our View: Brandon Wood got the call at third on Sunday, but was ineffective as he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout. The 30-year old Quinlan is hitting .228 over 57 at-bats with one homer and four RBI, and holds no fantasy value.

| Robb Quinlan has made a contribution with the Angels the last four years, particularly against left-handed pitching, but he isn't guaranteed of a roster spot despite having a major league contract. "The contract makes you feel more secure; it's obviously nice to have," Quinlan told the LA Times. "But I want to play, that's the bottom line, and I want to be in this organization." The 30-year-old isn't going to do anything for you in fantasy even if he cracks the 25-man roster. |

|
| The Angels avoided going to arbitration with Robb Quinlan by signing him to a two-year contract on Tuesday, according to the LA Times. He'll make $800,000 next season and $1.05 million in 2008. |

|
| With Kendry Morales optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake, Robb Quinlan should see an increase in playing time, according to the AP. At the very least he will get the nod at first base against lefties, although he will also get the occasional start at third. |
