Jackson Williams

After four-plus seasons toiling at the Triple-A level, Williams finally broke through to the majors last June at age 28. He wound up logging a rather unmemorable 18 plate appearances with the Rockies, all coming in the second half when Wilin Rosario missed time due to injury. Though he’s received high marks for his work behind the plate, Williams’ offensive numbers have never dazzled during his time in the minors, and at this stage of his career, he represents little more than organizational catching depth. He’ll operate in that capacity with the Angels, whom he latched on with after the Rockies dropped him from their 40-man roster. Expect Williams to see nearly all of his duty this season at Triple-A Salt Lake, only getting the call to the majors when one of the Angels’ backstops suffers an injury.
