Angels Power Rankings – Pitchers – August 11th

Home / Angels / Angels Power Rankings – Pitchers – August 11th

My rankings include the entire 40 man roster – not just the active 25 man.

These rankings were compiled with the help of MLB stats, FanGraphs, misc. data, personal opinion, and some fairy dust I found hidden in Shoemaker’s beard.

 

An asterisk* means the player was not on the active roster at the time of this posting.

Updates to List:

Mike Morin was put on the 15 day DL and removed from the list
Vinnie Pestano was traded from the Indians, sent to minors then called up
Tyler Skaggs is being removed for season ending Tommy John surgery 🙁
Cam Bedrosian was sent back to the minors
Caleb Clay was purchased from the minors and called up
Joe Thatcher (DL) was removed from the list
