Angels' Roberto Baldoquin: Gets non-roster invite to spring training

Baldoquin will be a non-roster invitee to major league spring training, Pedro Moura of The Los Angeles Times reports.

Baldoquin, a 22-year-old Cuban middle infielder, received an $8 million signing bonus from the Angels in November of 2014. He's a big part of the team's plans for the future, but last season's .235/.266/.294 slash line at High-A Inland Empire makes it clear that his bat is nowhere close to being big-league ready. Even when accounting for his strong defensive reputation, Baldoquin is unlikely to reach the majors at any point in 2016.
