Pestano agreed to a one-year contract with the Angels on Monday.

Analysis:

Pestano will avoid arbitration by signing the contract. The 29-year-old split time between two teams and two levels last season, ultimately ending the year with the Angels as a September callup. He finished his major league season with a respectable 2.89 ERA and 1.23 WHIP over 18.2 innings, also striking out 26 over that period. With a strong showing in spring training, Pestano should be able to secure a place in the Halos' bullpen.
