Angeleno update

Los Angeles--

There isn't much to get excited about recently with the Los Angeles Angelenos. At one point, they looked like maybe, just maybe, they turned the corner. Going on a solid win streak and pulling within 5 games of .500 at 40-45. Then, they proceeded to lose 9 out of their next 10 and fell completely out of the Wild Card race. They've continued their struggles and sit at a season low 18 games under .500 at 45-63.

However, there is some good news. Los Angeles owner just announced that the club has signed International prospect Jose Uribe. The club signed him to a Minor league deal with an invite to spring training next season. The bonus was worth around 6.5 million.

Los Angeles also has a couple of bright spots on the offensive side of the ball, most notably young stud rookie Ryan Ruffin. He started the year in AAA, but was quickly called up after LA was hit with a few injuries. Since then, he has staked his claim to a ML spot. So far in his first 72 ML games, he's hit .270 with 10 homers and 31 RBI in 293 at bats.

We know the front office is very excited about his career as an Angeleno, after all, he's only 22.

This seasons 1st round pick (10th overall) of the Angelenos, Douglas Satterwhite, has had an up and down start to his professional career. In 9 games he has an ERA of 5.87 in 38.1 innings. While he is struggling in some facets of his game, he's still striking out hitters at a solid rate. 41 k's to 18 walks. He's also only given up 2 home runs. We're sure he'll get it going, he's got a bunch of potential.

--Injury report--

ML Slugger Edgard Gomez is in jeopardy of missing a majority of the remaining season with a leg fracture. Gomez has a .282 average, 31 home runs and 80 rbi in 106 games.


3rd round pick Weldon Robinson is suffering from back spasms and is expected to be out a few more days. Management isn't expected to rush him back to soon either.
