News
- Not that this has anything to do with the actual Angels prospect, but John Erhardt has a piece at Baseball Prospectus Unfiltered entitled, "Why I'm Cutting Nick Gorneault From My Keeper League". I made the same mistake with Nathan Haynes.
- I meant to congratulate UC Irvine for winning the super-regional over Wichita to advance to the College World Series for the first time in that organization's history. Zot!
- In a similar vein, Long Beach's Wilson High finishes their season 32-3 and tops Baseball America's prep team list. Matt Welch's alma mater, Lakewood High, finished 7th overall.
- No Angels or Dodgers prospects made this week's Prospect Hot Sheet.
- Similarly, no Angels or Dodgers prospects were Pitchers of the Week or Offensive Players of the Week.
- Still no summary post for the weekly league recaps, which the MILB.com people seem to be doing sporadically; usually they're published on Mondays, but not always.

Wilhite, M: (L, 2-2) (in relief), 1.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 H, 1 K, 0 BB, 2.72 ERA
Jason Bulger imploded for three runs on an Ian Stewart home run in this ten-inning game. Matt Wilhite finished the Bees' self-immolation by allowing a run on a Jayson Nix double and Alvin Colina's single. All four runs registered with two outs, so the loss was extra yucky.

Terry Evans' solo homer came in the bottom of the 7th. Aside from that, there were a number of multi-hit games, including Brandon Wood, Kendry Morales, and rehabbing Maicer Izturis.

Rodriguez, S: 0-4, 2 K
Wilson: 1-3, 1 BB, 1 K
Collins: 0-3
Green: (L, 5-4), 7.0 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 7 H, 7 K, 0 BB, 1 HR, 4.01 ERA
Nick Green pitched a quality start plus, but took the loss anyway as his offense couldn't get past Cory Rauschenberger and two Cardinals relievers. Green continues to be one of the bright spots in what has been a dismal season for the third-place Travs (25-37), with a 4.01 ERA and a 5-4 record, he's striking out almost exactly seven times as many as he's walking. His strikeout rate has declined some from the Cal League, something the Angels are sure to keep an eye on.

Butcher: (W, 4-5), 9.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 6 H, 3 K, 1 BB, 1.81 ERA
Brok Butcher tosses a gem, a complete game shutout with only three strikeouts and six hits. Ben Johnson and Drew Toussaint both homered, Johnson's a two-run shot in the bottom of the eighth, Toussaint's a one-out shot in the bottom of the second.

Browning: (S, 4), 1.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 H, 0 K, 0 BB, 3.98 ERA
Trevor Bell picked up his second win for his most dominating performance of the year. Had the offense awakened in the seventh instead of the eighth, it would have been a complete game as well, as this was a scheduled 7-inning doubleheader. Barrett Browning got the save for a scoreless eighth. Matt Sweeney went 3-for-3 with a home run against a righty, which is unusual because so far this year, he's hitting .328 vs. lefties but only .259 against righties.

Madrigal: 0.1 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 H, 0 K, 1 BB, 3.38 ERA
Starter Doug Brandt gave up four runs, all earned, through only four innings, so Aaron Cook took off from there and eventually was charged with the loss for the Kernels after loading up the bases in the eighth on three consecutive singles, the last a bunt single by Danny Santiesteban. Warner Madrigal came in to try and restore order, and while he did manage to get the first out of the inning, he walked his second batter to give Cook the loss.

White: (BS, 4)(L, 0-4) (in relief), 1.1 IP, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 H, 0 K, 2 BB, 4.17 ERA
The Las Vegas rotation has suddenly become uninteresting, hasn't it? Minus Billingsley, minus Kuo, the only remotely interesting pitchers to the major league club are D.J. Houlton, and if you squint hard enough, Eric Stults. William Juarez pitched five acceptable innings, but Matt White took the loss after a four-run implosion in the eighth.

James Peterson went 4-for-4 with a first-inning RBI in a seven-inning doubleheader game. It was his best outing all year, but he has a good .356/.408/.489 line; in the pitcher-friendly Midwest League, that's pretty good.

Rob,
I must admit I'm intrigued by Bulger. We traded Callaspo to get him. I remember reading about the Aybar/Callaspo tandum four or five years ago as being the Angels' glorious up-the-middle future. Bulger hurt himself late last season and was dropped from the 40-man. I figured, like everyone else, the trade was a bust.
Now, if we start paying attention to his stats since his return, especially his last 13 games, we find that these are the only runs he's allowed since April 28; this was a home run to a left handed batter. If we check his stats closely, they still look pretty good, but it's obvious all the damage against him is left handed.

I hadn't noticed that, but it may be some combination of small sample size and recovery from his recent injury. He had problems with lefties in 2005 with Tucson, though not so pronounced as his current line.
