Bedrock, Alvarez & Morin watch!

[rafibomb]

Brandon Sisk followed Alvarez pitching one inning allowing no hits with a walk and two strikeouts. Having another good year:

 

6.0 IP  1 H  0 BB  8 SO  0.5 WHIP

 

I honestly believe Sisk is ready to be in the Major Leagues as the lefty in the pen.

Screw it, bring up Sisk, Morin, Alvarez, and Bedrock.

 

Make room for them somehow.

[Chuck]

Bedrosian just pitched:

1.0 IP 0 H 0 BB 3 SO

HE STRUCK OUT THE SIDE AGAIN.

Sick

[Second Base]

Promote Sisk, send Maronde to AAA, promote Bedrock, send down Herrera, promote Morin, cut ties with Jepsen and keep Alvarez on standby waiting for Salas or Kohn to slip up.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Frieri

Smith

Kohn

Sisk

Bedrosian

Morin

Alvarez

 

They could all be in the Pen right now. No room for a long man, lol. This pen could be hilariously good soon.

[wopphil]

Its a pipe dream I realize, but if Burnett can come back too we definitely should be able to field a decent pen.

[NrM]

I wonder if our current pen was as dominating as these guys have been in the minors.

I know kohn of and jepsen weren't as dominating.

Kohn was a freaking beast through the lower levels.   His career minor league K/9 is 13.2.  They used to say that his ability to strike people out was due to a deceptive delivery and that they weren't sure his game would play at the MLB level, but he's sporting a K/9 over 10 this year

seems like it took him forever to finally get regular playing time though

Well, he did miss a year with TJ surgery...

[Second Base]

A more correct scouting report on Kohn would've indicated that a huge chunk of his k's in the minors came off his fastball. He elevated it above the letters with two strikes and simply demolished the competition in the minors with that pitch.

Once he reached the majors if became evident that big leaguers simply weren't going to chase that pitch so he needed to find another way to get hitters out. His breaking ball certainly wasn't good enough as a 2-strike pitch and he couldn't locate.

He basically needed to relearn how to pitch in order to succeed. So we saw him alter his arm slot and mechanics which has lead to increased velocity and better command but also less movement.

Pretty sure Tom Kotchman was a pretty good source for a scouting report.

Here's a story I wrote for Kohn's local newspaper back in 2010 when he made his major league debut.

That's pretty cool Chuck, I bet it's fun to have the local papers seek out information at AW.com.   You should have more of those posted on the website.

Kotch is pretty good when it comes to that sort of stuff, and I believe what he says when it comes to players.  I'm also inclined to believe my eyes and what I observed personally, especially when it doesn't contradict what someone like Kotch says.

[rafibomb]

help.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Shouldn't be hard to find any room...

[rafibomb]

Rough outing by Bedrosian:

 

1.0 IP  2 H  1 BB  2 ER

 

Threw 18 pitches with only 7 being strikes.

Season over.

[Chuck]

Season over.

lol

[bloodbrother]

Can't strike out the side every time out I guess

[Angel Oracle]

Predictions on MLB arrival for the new big 3?

 

Morin - July 2014

Alvarez - September 2014

Bedrosian - June 2015

 

Sisk? - September 2014, but taking it easy because of first season back from TJ surgery

[Chuck]

Yep, Can't blame Mike Butcher every time either.

 

Not everyone is Craig Kimbrel. Oh wait, he's had two blown saves already this year as well.

Probably all four by September of 2014.
