2016 killed off all the music greats of the 70's. 2017 is trying to kill the Angels starting rotation.

It's his nagging shoulder, not his elbow.  No biggie.

Angels pitching staff and no biggie do not go together

Especially when Kelvim Escobar is involved.

Second or third DL stint this year? I know he was out the minimum for something back related too, but it seems like there was one more instance where he was out or day to day with something minor as well, maybe to start the year?

As tantalizing as his potential is, if this shoulder stuff keeps up he may need to go to the pen in the future just to stay intact.

If you are going by weight, it's like filling TWO rotation spots!

Have the Angels already announced that they expect him to start pitching again next week, yet?

.....and if they simply need a warm body Troy Scribner has been pretty good in Salt Lake. 

You know, all he does is put up good numbers, wherever he's been....I guess his stuff doesn't translate against big league hitters but the guy has been successful....I don't pretend to be a scout but his IP/H/K rate has been pretty good for two years at SLC, which is a tough league for pitchers.

Shoulder stuff? He's only been on the 10-day DL once this tear for back spasms and came back as soon as he was eligible to do so.

Once for back, now for shoulder, and it seems like he was day to day or held back earlier in the year for one very minor thing. 

He was plagued by shoulder issues before they acquired him too.

If it keeps occurring, a pen transition may ease the burden.

At this point you can't even laugh anymore, it's just so stupid.

I have zero confidence in Skaggs coming back healthy. Or Richards for that matter. Has he even picked up a baseball yet? Hope he doesn't strain himself too much.

They did....and I thought of Shoemaker as a comp for Scribner too....but what do I know?  Actually, sometimes they don't know either, see Shoemaker, Matt....

Our Disabled List has sure built up a lot of depth, in only a year and a half.

I think I read Wright or Lamb were options as they were on the most comparable schedule.

inb4 Bridwell gets hurt because he is a bullpen guy exceeding his limit
