His career has been a roller coaster, but he doesn't want off the ride.

Saturday's outright assignments... The Rockies have outrighted Edgar Gonzalez to Triple-A according to Pacific Coast League transactions page. The 28-year-old righty appeared in just one game for Colorado before being designated for assignment to make room on the roster for J.C. Romero. The Angels have outrighted Reggie Willits to Triple-A according to PCL transactions...

Victor Rojas tweets that the Angels have called up RHP Jerome Williams from AAA Salt Lake, and optioned Trevor Bell back down. Reggie Willits was DFA'd to make room on the 40-man roster.

The Angels designated outfielder Reggie Willits for assignment, according to Bill Shaikin of the LA Times (on Twitter).

The Angels need a spark on offense and I think I have a solid solution. The Mariners just can’t figure out how to get Chone Figgins going and he’s rotting away on the bench for them. With that in mind, I think the Angels should offer 3B Alberto Callaspo, catcher Bobby Wilson and outfielder Reggie Willits to the Mariners for Chone Figgins and cash. I think a return to the Angels...

Over the past decade, a tremendous amount of progress has been made in quantifying if and when managers should do everything from sacrifice bunt to issue an intentional walk, but one area that has been (at least to my knowledge) overlooked is when to pinch run. One of the main reasons pinch running hasn’t been investigated to the same degree as these other strategies is that there...

Reggie Willits was given his fourth start of the season in left field on Monday night as the Angels opened a four-game series against the Athletics.

Reggie Willits has not hit a home run in 829 Major League at-bats, but he knows what it feels like to hit one out of Rangers Ballpark -- in college.

Reggie Willits joined the Angels on Tuesday to fill injured outfielder Vernon Wells' roster spot. He's adept at all three outfield positions and can pinch-hit from both sides of the plate.

When Los Angeles Angels outfielder Vernon Wells pulled up lame running out a ground ball in the fourth inning of last night’s game between the Angels and Chicago White Sox, it was painfully obvious that Wells would be headed to the disabled list. Sure enough, right after the game, Wells was indeed placed on the 15-day DL, and the expected call to replace Wells on the roster will...

(Salt Lake Bees OF, Jeremy Moore)By David Saltzer, AngelsWin.com Senior Writer During the 4th inning of Monday night's game (5/9/11), Vernon Wells had to be helped off the field as he ran out a grounder to first base. With the announcement that Wells would be going onto the 15-day disabled list with a right groin injury, the Angels will need to promote someone to fill out the roster...

So says Mike DiGiovanna.

• Salt Lake: There's not much to report here as the Bees lost the game 5-1 and are now three games out of first place. Jeremy Moore (.323) and Tyson Auer (.308) had a hit each and Paul McAnulty had two hits, a single and double. Slugger Reggie Willits went 0-for-3 and is hitting .130 since his demotion to Salt Lake. • Arkansas: Shocker, another rain out! Note to self, never moveâ...

• Salt Lake: Third  baseman Jeff Baisley homered (5) and doubled and sports a .410/.443/.718 line thus far on the young season. Tyson Auer had a couple knocks, one a triple, his second, pushing his season average up to .304. Meanwhile, Reggie Willits is 0-for Salt Lake. Michael Kohn (.289 BAA) and Kevin Jepsen (.302 BAA) each had scoreless outings, but both need to get their BAA...

• Salt Lake: The Bees lost the contest 8-4 to the Tacoma Rainers but Tyson Auer (.293) and Jeremy Moore (.333) contributed on offense with a three-bagger each. The mighty Reggie Willits flex his muscles and went 0-4 with a strikeout. Reggie is hitting .167 in six minor league games, an indication he's ready for a promotion from Scioscia once Izturis is ready to go. • Arkansas...

Before Monday's series opener against the Oakland A's, the Angels selected the contract of infielder Alexi Amarista and optioned outfielder Reggie Willits to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Makes sense. One hopes Mark Trumbo will continue to get at-bats, as he's already shown himself to have some value, and the Brandon Wood experience does not argue for long stretches of absenteeism from the plate for a young player.

Reggie Willits was distraught on Tuesday night when he learned that good buddy Brandon Wood had been designated for assignment by the Angels.

By David Saltzer, AngelsWin.com Senior Writer They say that one of the longest roads in America is the one that leads from the Minor Leagues to the Majors. At times, that road can seem a lot longer than the 50 miles from Anaheim to San Bernadino. For the start of the 2011 season, I decided to make that trek from Single-A ball to the Majors by covering the IE 66ers Home Opener...

Mike Scioscia decided to give Vernon Wells a night off on Tuesday, inserting just-activated Reggie Willits in left field. Wells will play on Wednesday.

The Angels have placed six players on the 15-day D.L. to start the 2011 season. Starting 1B Kendrys Morales will start the season on the D.L. as he has been slow to recover from left ankle surgery that he had last year. He also has soreness in his left big toe which has caused him to not be able to do to much in spring training. Rookie Mark Trumbo will replace Morales in the starting...

  When the Los Angeles Angels opened spring training in mid-February, there were quite a few roster decisions that needed to be made within a six-week period. While many of those decisions have been made either through injuries or by prospects making their mark, there are still a couple of spots still left to be decided, and the upcoming Freeway series with the Los Angeles Dodgers...

With Kendrys Morales, Reggie Willits, Scott Downs and perhaps Joel Pinerio starting the season on the disabled list; some players who were on the bubble are likely to make the team.
