Pitching last week was not exactly an Angels strong point. Only three players managed to not give up ANY runs – Tropeano, Street, and Bedrosian. Yes, that Bedrosian!
My rankings include the entire 40 man roster.
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.
*** Salt Lake Bees Roster
** Arkansas Travelers Roster
Changes:
Cam Bedrosian called up from the minors
Nick Tropeano (called up then sent down after 1 start)
| Rank | Player | Last Week | Change | High | Low | Comments |
| 1 |  Huston Street |
1 | – | 1 | 10 | Triple threes last week – Ks, Save, and games. |
| 2 |  Garrett Richards |
9 |  +7 |
6 | 8 | Much better than his first outing, Richard put up great numbers last week. 7IP, 5K, .86WHIP. |
| 3 |  Nick Tropeano |
14 | +11 |
9 | 11 | Poor Tropeano. He was called up, pitched a scoreless 6 innings, then sent back down again. It’s for his own benefit though so he can stay on a regular starting schedule. This is no the last we’ll see of him in Anaheim this season. |
| 4 |  Jose Alvarez |
10 | +6 |
4 | 8 | He gave up a run but was otherwise pretty on par with an .100BAA and .71WHIP in 5.2 IP. |
| 5 |  Hector Santiago |
2 |  -3 |
2 | 14 | Okay, so he answers the question about being our new ace. Nope. He had a good outing, then a BAD one. All told he walked 9 and struck out 13 over 11.1 IP. Control – he lost it. |
| 6 |  Joe Smith |
3 | -3 |
3 | 13 | Ouch. Street saves three games in a row so we put in Smith who promptly blows a save and the Angels go on to lose that game. Meet Joe Blow-it |
| 7 |  Cesar Ramos |
4 | -3 |
5 | 7 | His .6WHIP led the team. Okay, so he only pitched 1.2 innings. |
| 8 |  CJ Wilson |
5 | -3 |
8 | 12 | Somehow he managed a 1.59ERA last week despite a .304BAA and 1.76WHIP. The odds were definitely in his favor. |
| 9 |  Vinnie Pestano |
6 | -3 |
4 | 9 | Pestano had a rough week. We’ll leave it at that. |
| 10 |  Mike Morin |
7 | -3 |
3 | 10 | 3 ER in 3 IP? Not great. |
| 11 |  Jered Weaver |
11 | – | 1 | 14 | Better. An ace? Probably not. Decent pitcher still? Probably. 0 walks in 6 innings and a .320 BAA. He did not get the win. |
| 12 |  Matt Shoemaker |
8 | -4 |
7 | 12 | Ouch. Waiting for the second half 2014 Shoemaker to show up still. He only lasted 3 innings in his last outing and struggled for control with a 3.33 WHIP. |
| 13 |  Cam Bedrosian |
15 | +2 |
13 | 17 | Cam who??? First time he’s been called up and hasn’t blown it. 2 solid innings. Can he not blow it this time? |
| 14 |  Andrew Heaney |
12 | -2 |
10 | 16 | All over the place. Pitched twice. 5.1 innings each time. 2 earned runs in both outings. Oddly, he struck out 9 one of those games and ZERO the other game. Go figure. |
| 15 |  Drew Rucinski |
13 | -2 |
2 | 15 | He must still be licking his big league wounds because last week in AAA was not that great for him either. |
| 16 |  Cory Rasmus |
15 | -1 |
12 | 16 | Currently on the DL. |
| 17 |  Jeremy McBryde |
17 | – | 17 | 19 | Snooze. |
| 18 |  Fernando Salas |
18 | – | 15 | 18 | He is just not that good anymore? Probably. |
| 19 |  Danny Reynolds |
19 | – | 18 | 19 | 4Ks in 3 innings. Okay. |
| 20 |  Adam Wilk*** |
20 | – | 20 | 20 | Pitched well for Salt Lake with 4Ks and zero runs over 6 innings. |
