Nick Adenhart

Nick Adenhart has been called up by the Angels and will start tonight’s game against Oakland.

I saw Nick pitch 6 scoreless innings (3 hits) in spring training. It was the day I went to Tempe Diablo while the rest of the group saw the historic “first-ever Dodgers in Arizona spring training game” against the White Sox at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.

Adenhart (age 21) is 4-0 at Salt Lake City with an ERA under 1.00. He is the Angels Number One pitching prospect.

He will start in Dustin Moseley’s spot. Moseley has been moved to the bullpen, but not before costing NickV a couple of bucks.

I’m sure the plan is to start Adenhart 3 times. Then Lackey will be back and Adenhart is slated to return to AAA.

But what if Adenhart is 3-0? Would the Halos think about keeping him, going with a rotation of Lackey, Weaver, Saunders, Santana and Adenhart?
