Angels Power Rankings – Pitchers – September 1st

Home / Angels / Angels Power Rankings – Pitchers – September 1st

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:

September call-ups included Cam Bedrosian, Matt LeBlanc, Vinnie Pestano
Cory Rasmus was shuffled down to AAA then back up
Dane De La Rosa was removed from the 40 man
Caleb Clay was removed from the 40 man
Michael Kohn was removed from the 40 man

Rank Player Last Week Change High Low Comments
1 shoemakerMatt Shoemaker 1 1 13 Currently has a 21.2 scoreless inning streak. I’d be okay if he just decided to stop allowing any runs for the rest of the season.  Go beard!
2 ph_434718Huston Street 2  1 4 Street was Street.  Again.
3 weaverJered Weaver 3 2 5 Still has his good stuff!  Zero earned runs in 7 innings last week while holding batters to a .125 AVG.
4 smithJoe Smith 4 2 4 His opponents only hit .100 against him last week.
5 santiagoHector Santiago 5 5 12 He still can’t pitch more than 5 or 6 innings (5.2 last week) but he’s been solid in his short starts.  .88 WHIP last week.
6 salasFernando Salas 6 6 14 If you faced him last week, you probably didn’t get on base.  He only gave up 1 hit in 4 innings.
7 grilliJason Grilli 7 4 8
8 jepsenKevin Jepsen 8 4 6 Another solid reliever last week
10 morinMike Morin 9 downarrow-1  9  9 We could have shut out the A’s 3 games in a row if he didn’t give up that 8th inning run in game 4.  Damn in Morin!
11 wilsonCJ Wilson 10 downarrow-1 9 16 He’s just barely getting by.  I think Joe Blanton called to give him advice.
9 rasmusCory Rasmus 11 uparrow+2 8 11 Came through with a 3 innings start and 6 Ks on Saturday night.  Who needs a 5th a starter??
16  leblancWade LeBlanc 12 downarrow-4 12 16 Great.  He made September call-ups.  There goes the neighborhood.
13 bedrosianCam Bedrosian 13 11 19 Maybe he could just challenge hitters to a starting contest?  He’d have a 0.00 ERA if only he could.
14 vinnieVinnie Pestano 14 13 14 Meh
15 rothMichael Roth 15 13 15  Meh
12
17 thatcherJoe Thatcher 17 17 17  Not sure if he will even be able to pitch in September.  Let’s hope not.
18 alvarezJose Alvarez * 18 17 18  Back from the DL and not doing much.
19 herreraYoslan Herrera 19  –  19 19  Pretty much horrible.  He “boast” a 2.04 WHIP for the Angels in a short amount of time.
20 rucinskiDrew Rucinski * 20 18 20 He is the Traveler’s strike out king.  11 more last week in 6 innings.  He’s pitching for them in the playoffs then maybe we’ll see him get called up my month end.
