Notes
Brendan Donnelly has been activated from the disabled list. To
make room on the roster the club DFA'd Dusty Bergman. That's a bit of a surprise, as I was expecting
Eckstein to replace on Donnelly on the DL.
Bergman made only one appearance for the Angels, allowing 3 ER in 2 IP. I expect Bergman to be an
important peice of this bullpen someday, so we haven't seen the last of him.
As for Donnelly, Mike Scioscia says he intends on bringing him along slowly. Looks like he's going to
have to re-win his setup job. Donnelly was 0-0 with a 7.71 ERA in three games during two separate rehab
assignments at AAA Salt Lake this year.
Also, the OC Register
reports that the Angels have signed 18 of their 48 draft choices to contracts. None of the names or
contract details were released, though it's clear that Jered Weaver is not one of the 18.
UPDATE: Ben Maller has some Jered Weaver news:
Negotiations have not begun with first-round pick Jered Weaver, the Long Beach State right-hander who was the 12th overall pick and could command a deal in the $7-million range or more. Weaver threw more than 140 innings this season, so the Angels want him to take a lengthy break. "I definitely need a rest, but I want to go out and play baseball again this season, as well," Weaver said Wednesday. "It will take me a little while to get my arm back in shape after the break, but other than that, there shouldn't be any problems."
In other news, it looks like Joe may have a date with the bases outside Angels Stadium.
