Bremner, 22, was 2-4 with a 4.28 ERA in 14 starts at advanced Class-A Tri-City. He struck out 64 batters and walked 19 in 48.1 innings in his first exposure to professional baseball.

Now he'll head to Madison, Alabama, which is technically two steps away from the big leagues. In the Angels' case, however, they have often shielded their top pitching prospects from the hitter-friendly environment at Triple-A Salt Lake. In reality, Bremner is probably a step away from the big leagues.

The UC Santa Barbara product will have to prove his mettle in the Southern League, but it's a big move for an organization that committed wholly to rebuilding at the trade deadline.
