Arredondo is now headed for Tommy John surgery. The Angels expect him to make a full recovery and return at some point during the 2010 season.
Outside of a select few, relief pitchers is like kickers in the NFL-unpredictable from year to year. Arredondo is a perfect example of that, and another reason why the Angels' bullpen is not as good as it once was.
You can follow The Ghost of Moonlight Graham on Twitter @ theghostofmlg He earned his first major league victory in his next start on the road against the Colorado Rockies. Lincecum who is often compared to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt faced him in each of his next two starts, Oswalt with the Astros at the time. After the first agree up, Astros third baseman Mike Lamb said, The stuff he was throwing out there tonight was everything he is hyped up to be. He was 97 mph with movement. You just don't see that every day. He pitched very much like the pitcher he is compared to and out dueled him throughout the night. The pair dueled to a no decision the first time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Lincecum pitched eight innings and got the win the second time. The Giants asked Lincecum not to throw the bullpen sessions typical of other pitchers during the off season. Manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle that they were being careful with Lincecum because there have been studies that show that pitchers who throw 200 innings early in their career were more susceptible to injuries.
In 45 innings, Arredondo had a 6.00 ERA, gave up 9.4 hits per nine innings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and increased his walks per nine innings from 3.2 to 4.6. What’s interesting about Arredondo’s 2010 season is that his strikeouts per nine innings actually increased from 8.1 in 2010, to 9.4 in 2010.
While in the minors, Arredondo was placed on the DL with a sprain in his right ulnar collateral ligament. Anytime a pitcher has an issue with his ulnar collateral ligament, it usually means Tim Lincecum is headed for Tommy John surgery at some point.
That just tells me his stuff was there, but his control, and the mental aspect of his game were not. Arredondo was so bad,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tim Lincecum was sent to the minors in June.
Lincecum was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 48 round of the 2003 MLB Draft; however he did not sign up for the team. He decided to attend college instead and was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 42 round on entering the draft in 2005, but once again failed to sign. In 2004, he was drafted tenth overall by the San Francisco Giants becoming the first player from the University of Washington to be taken in the first round. He signed for a 2.025 million dollars signing award on June 30, which at the time was the highest amount the organization had ever paid to any amateur player until they gave 2.1 million dollars to Angel Villalona a little over a month later. This is just another blow to a once powerful Angels bullpen. If there was one thing you could count on in baseball from year to year, it was that the Angels would have a rock-solid bullpen. Not so much anymore.
In 2010, Arredondo had a 1.62 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP in 61 innings. Tim Lincecum looked like Tim Lincecum could haven taken over for Rodriguez if the closer left for free agency.
Rodriguez did abandon for free agency, the Angels replaced him with Brian Fuentes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Arredondo had a dreadful 2010 season. humorous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], amusing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], droll, comic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], comical, laughable, silly how things work out.
Arredondo burst onto the scene as a 24-year-old in 2010, and looked like Francisco Rodriguez: portion, share, piece, allotment, section, fraction, fragment Two .
