Rundown

  • New League, same result for D-Mac. In his first game in the PCL with Salt Lake, Dallas McPherson collected a single, a double, and a 420-foot homerun in the club's 8-6 win over Las Vegas (Dodgers). I guess his reputation precedes him, as he was also issued an intentional walk. It can't be long before we see him in Anaheim. (hat tip: Jeff)

  • The OC Register reports that the Angels have signed 23 of their 48 draftees. The Angels top two picks- Jered Weaver and high-school outfielder Patrick White, have yet to sign.

  • Sports Illustrated has named Arte Moreno the Most-Influential Minority in American Sports ahead of such names as Tiger Woods and Yao Ming (he was fifth on the 2003 list). I love the guy, but that's a bit much for lowering beer prices. (LA Times)

  • Jarrod Washburn thinks the back spasms which forced him out of his last start after just two innings my be caused by sleeping in an awkward position. Now he's being sent for tests to rule out arthritis. Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

    Washburn says he should be ready to make his next start, but if he isn't Kevin Gregg would be the likely substitute. Hip-hip Hoo-ray.
