Rd 4    Jeremy Rhoades   RHP

According to Rhoades, he was going to sign a contract on Monday night to forgo his senior season and head to Orem, Utah today to begin rookie ball. He is expected to pitch out of the bullpen.

"I going to go in there and do the best I can," said Rhoades, who added that it's been a dream of his since five or six years old to play professional baseball. "Hopefully I can make it up [to the big leagues] as quickly as possible."

20 Rd Kyle Martin 1B

South Carolina first baseman Kyle Martin has elected to put his professional baseball career on hold and is returning to South Carolina for his senior season.

“This was not an easy decision and I appreciate the Angels drafting me.  However, after talking it over with my family, Coach Holbrook and the staff and Coach Tanner, I’ve decided that I want to come back and help lead the 2015 team."

As silly as it may sound, with Santiago lost in AAA, Pinero automatically becomes the sixth man on Angels' starting depth chart.

this is interesting... "@SaltLakeBees: Transaction today: Joel Pineiro has been added to the roster and will start for the Bees tonight."

"The Angels have outrighted pitchers Michael Brady, Jarrett Grube and Brooks Raley, according to MiLB.com...These moves likely signal that the Angels are about to make other transactions that will affect their 40-man roster."

"Former MLB slugger Vlad Guerrero was known as a man that would swing at, and hit, almost everything."

Shoemaker can't come back for his next turn. Has to be down 10 days unless someone goes on DL. Almost certainly will be LeBlanc.

   #Angels LHP Wade LeBlanc allowed 2 ER in 20 innings in last 3 starts at AAA.

   That's LHP Wade LeBlanc. 5-1 3.69 at AAA. Few years of MLB time. #Angels

#Angels send down Matt Shoemaker, last night's starter, for Wade LeBlanc.

Arkansas Travelers ‏@ARTravs 

Travs Transaction - Zach Borenstein has been promoted to @SaltLakeBees. Travs receive Erik Komatsu from Salt Lake

Bill Shaikin ‏@BillShaikin

Wade LeBlanc has been called up by #Angels. No announcement of corresponding move, but bullpen was spent after 13-inning game last night.

Last pitched on May 12th, so whatever it is, it's not getting any better.
