Trevor Bell Slated for Angels Debut Wednesday

PrintPitcher Trevor Bell, the Angels' first pick in the 2005 draft (37th pick overall) was pulled from his start in Salt Lake on Saturday night in preparation for his major league debut Wednesday afternoon in Anaheim against the Tampa Bay Rays. Salt Lake's Deseret News confirmed that the reason the Bees pulled Bell from his start was in preparation for his major league call-up and not due to any sort of injury concern. Bell had allowed 2 hits but no runs in 2 IP Saturday in Salt Lake.
Bell will be replacing Joe Saunders in the rotation for this one start and, in the tradition of Mike Scioscia, it will be his spot to keep if the pitching ability is there.
Bell stands 6' 2", weighs 190 and throws from the Right. He is 22 and will turn 23 on October 12 ... as I pointed out when the Angels drafted him, he was born on the Sunday in 1986 known more commonly to Angels fans as "The Donnie Moore Game" ... could this dude be the postseason Red-Sox cursebreaker we have been looking for?
Bell will be the third pitcher from the 2005 draft to make his debut for the Angels this season: Rotation-mate Sean O'Sullivan (103rd pick in the 2005 draft) will be starting against Tampa on Monday and Robert Mosebach (283rd pick) has been up and down in the Angels pen this season.

A day game against Tampa
not that the Angels really have a choice right now, but not exactly the odds for success that say a night game against Oakland has.
OCR has it too.

We Will Win With What We Got
I’m a rolling thunder, a pouring rain
I’m comin’ on like a hurricane
My lightnings flashing across the sky
You’re only young but you’re gonna die
I wont take no prisoners, wont spare no lives
Nobody’s putting up a fight
I got my Bell, I’m gonna take you all to hell

must one be an insomniac

Who goofed? I've got to know.
The person that bear is named after
took all the commentary away from our boy Saunders in last year’s All-star game.
Well, then again that might have been a good thing.
Who goofed? I've got to know.

Don’t you remember he was talking the whole time Saunders was pitching?
Who goofed? I've got to know.
OH yeah
I rememebr the stink about it in hindsight, but was in the Vegas Hilton Sports Book so the sound was inconsequential and me and Northwest and Wumbug were able to just straight cheer for Joe.
lucky you's
I was pissed
Who goofed? I've got to know.
But they gave him cash for talking, which is just as good as money
Angels baseball. We do what we must, because we can -- HaloDutch
If you pitch for the SLC Bees and you HAVENT pitched for the Angels this year...
you must feel pretty damn shitty about yourself.
I think we should just fill Saundo’s spot with Palmer or Loux. Maybe Loux isn’t one-hundred percent to start yet but he had a pedestrian night against Texas on Friday….4 innings 1 earned run.
However, I have faith in the Soth…and so far we’ve done pretty well this year with rookie debut starting pitchers. Has anyone bombed their first outing?? Even Ortega was decent his first time around.
Do it for Nick '09

40-Man Roster
I see that Bell is not on the 40-man roster, excluding the three pitchers on the 60-day DL (Escobar, Moseley and Shields). A corresponding move is necessary before Bell can be added. This means someone must either be DFA/released, or moved to the 60-day. Could we have seen the last of Justin Speier? Robb Quinlan?
Sentence Structure
that will teach me not to post before my morning coffee. What I meant to say is that there are already 40 names on the roster, plus the three on the 60-day who don’t count but are technically listed there. Anyway, someone needs to come off the 40-man before they call up Bell.
Just saw that too
This is going to be quite a story this week – I think it’ll be one of the Bees’ Rodriguez’, or maybe they’ll put Anthony Ortega on the 60 day DL.
He'll be the 13th different starting pitcher this year
The only time the team has had more starters than that was:
1961 (14)
2000 (16)
1967 (17)
Those weren’t exactly playoff years (though ’67 was surprisingly close).
Isn't this guy supposed to be pretty good?
let’s hope he can make an impact on this team and shut down the Rays
Let's go Howie...
As stated in an earlier post...
I like Bell. Don’t know if he can pitch a shutout or even give a quality start but he does have good stuff. We’ll see, he at least deserves a chance.
