Nick Adenhart to the Angels!

The Angels are not known for rushing young players to the Major Leagues so it is fair to assume that general manager Tony Reagins and manager Mike Scioscia believe Adenhart is ready for the challenge. I don't claim to know anywhere close to what Reagins and Scioscia know about baseball but I have seen two of Adenhart's starts this season for the Salt Lake Bees and I am concerned that he is not ready to be a successful pitcher for the Angels.

I'm kind of mixed on Adenhart at the moment as well. Some of his numbers (0.87 ERA, .170 BAA) have been great, but other numbers suggest he might struggle a bit (19:15 K:BB ratio). Also, the fact that he will be pitching on 3 days rest might be asking a little too much from the kid, especially one who has already undergone Tommy John. As much as I am excited to see Adenhart, I would have preferred that Nick Green get the call for tonight, have Adenhart pitch a game or two in the Angels bullpen, until the next time around in the rotation and have him start then.
