My rankings include the entire 40 man roster – not just the active 25 man.
This week was tough since pitching was pretty great (for the most part). The Angels had 4 pitchers with at least 2 appearances that all gave up zero runs. These four (Jepsen, Rasmus, Smith, Street) combined for 13 strikeouts, 2 hits, and 1 walk in 11.1 innings. 4 of the 5 starters (Richards had an off weak) all had ERAs below 3 and WHIPs no higher than 1.06. It was definitely a great pitching week for the Halos.
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.
| Rank | Player | Last Week | Change | High | Low | Comments |
| 1 |  Huston Street |
4 |  +3 |
1 | 4 | 3 save appearances = 3 saves. 4Ks in 3 innings. Earning his keep! |
| 2 |  Jered Weaver |
2 | – | 2 | 2 | Weaver stays put. Struck out 6 and only gave up 2 runs in 8 innings. |
| 3 |  Joe Smith |
3 | – | 3 | 3 | Continues to be reliable. Hitters had a ZERO average and ZERO on base against him in 3 innings. |
| 4 |  Garrett Richards |
1 |  +3 |
1 | 4 | Can’t win em all. Only Morin had a higher opponent batting average than Richards last week. |
| 5 |  Kevin Jepsen |
6 | +1 |
5 | 6 | Two innings, 0.00 WHIP and 3 Ks. Another solid reliever last week. |
| 6 |  Jason Grilli |
5 | -1 |
4 | 6 | Down twice in two weeks. Let’s hope this trend doesn’t continue. |
| 7 |  Hector Santiago |
12 | +5 |
7 | 12 | It pains me a little to see Santiago pitch so well since I see him more as a middle reliever. However, in 10.1 innings last week he only have up 1 run and had a .87 ERA. Still only making it 5 innings per game. He throws a lot of pitches. |
| 8 |  Cory Rasmus |
11 | +3 |
8 | 11 | 5 Ks in 3.1 innings with only 1 hit. |
| 9 |  Tyler Skaggs |
10 | +1 |
9 | 10 | All he got for it was a no decision but he pitched 5.2 innings only giving up 1 run. |
| 10 |  Mike Morin |
7 |  -3 |
6 | 10 | Morin had a very high 7 Ks in 3.1 innings last week but I’m moving him down 3 spots for blowing a game and getting his third loss. |
| 11 |  Matt Shoemaker |
13 | +3 |
11 | 13 | The Beard! The Shoe! 15 Ks in 12.2 innings, .178 opponent batting average, a .63 WHIP but he ended up 1-1 on the week. |
| 12 |  Joe Thatcher |
8 | -4 |
7 | 12 | Didn’t pitch. Moved down to make room for those that needed to go up! |
| 13 |  Cam Bedrosian, ARK |
16 | +3 |
13 | 19 | Stellar again and keeps moving up. 1 save and 5Ks in 2 innings pitched. |
| 14 |  Fernando Salas, SLC |
9 | -5 |
8 | 14 | Welcome to Salt Lake Salas. You just got bumped down to make room for Shuck. |
| 15 |  David Carpenter , SLC |
15 | – | 15 | 16 | Two saves last week. only 1 K in 5 innings pitched with a walk and 2 hits. |

18 | 20 | Average start last week. Better than he’s pitched and better than Kohn who gave up 2 long balls. |
| 19 |  Dane De La Rosa, SLC |
19 | – | 18 | 19 | Didn’t pitch. |
| 20 |  Michael Kohn, SLC |
