The latest minor moves from around the league…
- The Angels released left-hander Trevor Reckling, as noted by Matt Eddy of Baseball America (on Twitter). Reckling, who's still just 22, entered the 2010 season as one of the Angels' top prospects, according to Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus. Reckling posted a 3.73 ERA with 5.7 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9 in 99 innings as a starter at Double-A last year, but allowed 15 walks and 14 earned runs in 6 2/3 innings at Class A this year.
15 walks and 14 earned runs in around 7 innings? In class A? BRING HIM UP AGAIN!
Well this just shows you. Even the Angels prospects are tanking
Has to be a back story here. You don’t go from being a 2010 top prospect, to being decent in 2011, to awful and then released after a few weeks out of thin air.
He’s a perfect fit for our bullpen!
