Source: Angels call up Michael Roth

[Scott34]

... EOM.

[jshep]

wha huh wha

[AZMike]

who?

[gurn67]

Is that the IRA guy?

[Scott34]

34. Michael Roth (LHP)
Bats: Left, Throws: Left Height: 6' 1", Weight: 210 lb.
Born: February 15, 1990 in Greer, South Carolina, US (Age 22)
Orem Owlz: 0-2, 4.92 ERA, 11 BBs, 21 Ks, 22 IP

Michael Roth is well-known for his college success with the South Carolina Gamecocks.  He was the captain for the team during his sophomore and junior year, and compiled a 1.91 ERA during his college tenure.  Ric Wilson in his chat with Angelswin said he is "anxious" to see Roth "come out fresh."  The southpaw Roth sits in the high 80's with a spectacular change up, and a solid curveball and slider combination.  Look for Roth to begin the 2013 season with the Burlington Bees, the Angels new low-A ball affiliate.

wow, reaching way down the depth chart

[Mark68]

Desperation?

 

Low A to the Show sounds like quite the reach.

[Scott34]

1 appearance above Orem.  We'll see how this goes.  Good in pressure situations.

[gurn67]

He gave up 4 earned runs in 3.1 innings pitching for Great Britain in a World Baseball Classic qualifier. Sounds like he'll fit right in.

[jshep]

I wonder if someone like Downs is hurt.

[Ray McKigney]

Is he related to David Lee?

[John Smith]

Since 40 Man roster full, who goes? Guess they could call up Sisk, then put him on 60 day DL. Already recalled Shuck, now a pitcher?

[Scott34]

Jepsen is hurt.

[jshep]

Angels bring up left-hander Michael Roth and Shuck. Kevin Jepsen and Erick Aybar likely going on DL to create those spots

[jshep]

Jepsen is hurt.

 

or "hurt"

[Scott34]

Just thinking aloud... Richards to the bullpen, Roth starting?

[BigGuy951]

Wellll then. I don't think he can do much worse than the pitching we already have on the roster. 

[Ray McKigney]

10 games into the season and we're already seeing guys like De La Rosa and Roth. Maybe pitching wasn't enough of a focus in the off-season?

[jshep]

Just thinking aloud... Richards to the bullpen, Roth starting?

 

Ya, I dunno.

 

Schugel seems like he would make more sense as a starting pitcher though. Roth seems more like a lefty guy out of the pen.

 

Strange.

[m0nkey]

Less than 30 innings of pro ball.  Can't be worse than the clowns already up here

[Scott34]

Schugel started last night, though.

[jshep]

Ahh, I didn't even think about that.

The Angels are now elbow deep into the bag of sh*t. Gotta find a clean peanut somewhere in there.

A week ago the clean peanut was supposedly Mark Lowe.

He turned out to be a corn kernel.
