Angels call up RHP David Carpenter

Posted April 13, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: David Carpenter,  Alexi Amarista,  Jeremy Moore,  Scott Downs,  Jerry Dipoto
TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels,  New York Yankees
The Los Angeles Angels have purchased the contract of right-hander David Carpenter from Triple-A Salt Lake and optioned utilityman Alexi Amarista to the minors to help their beleaguered bullpen. The 24-year-old Carpenter joined the Angels for the start of their three-game series Friday against the New York Yankees. His first appearance will mark his major league debut. The Angels moved outfielder Jeremy Moore from the 15- to the 60-day disabled list. Carpenter was promoted to help a bullpen that couldn't hold leads against Minnesota on Wednesday and Thursday, sending the Angels to a 2-4 start. Top reliever Scott Downs bruised his right ankle Thursday when he was stepped on while covering first base. General manager Jerry Dipoto said Friday that Downs will not have to go on the disabled list.

Now, wasn't that better? All the Angels needed was a bit of quality pitching, an explosion of power and suddenly all is right with the universe. My hunch is that the Angel players got together and said, "enough is enough. Let's get our act together" and, VOILA!!, it happened.
