Minor Moves: Carpenter, Wall, Rapada

By Jeff Todd and Steve Adams | August 5, 2014 at 8:00pm CDT

Here are the day’s minor moves:

  • The Angels have outrighted right-hander David Carpenter to Triple-A Salt Lake, according to the team’s transactions page. The 26-year-old Carpenter, not to be confused with the Atlanta setup man of the same name, fired three scoreless innings this season in his lone appearance with the Halos. He’s struggled in a pair of prior stints — including a 39 2/3 inning tryout in 2012 — and owns a 5.23 career ERA in 43 frames. Carpenter was designated for assignment over the weekend.
  • Right-hander Josh Wall has been outrighted to Triple-A by the Pirates, according to Pittsburgh’s transactions page. The 27-year-old Wall was designated for assignment on July 31 and has appeared in one big league game this season, though it came with the Angels, not the Pirates. Wall yielded six runs in one inning with Anaheim and was subsequently claimed off waivers by the Bucs. He’s been very good in 22 1/3 Triple-A innings with Pittsburgh this season, notching a 3.22 ERA with 22 strikeouts and just nine walks.
  • The Orioles have released southpaw Clay Rapada to create roster space at Triple-A Norfolk for the newly-signed Joe Saunders, the club’s top affiliate announced on Twitter. Rapada has yet to earn a substantial stretch of time on a big league roster since his excellent 2012 season, when he posted a 2.82 ERA over 38 1/3 innings for the Yankees (8.9 K/9 against 4.0 BB/9). This year, over 38 1/3 frames (that’s a coincidence, not a typo) at the Triple-A level, Rapada has allowed 5.63 earned per nine.

    Any word on where Jim Johnson is signing? Apparently not with the O’s.

      Johnson threw for the O’s but he’s deciding if he wants to take a minor leagues deal with the O’s who already have a crowded pen or if he wants to go straight to a major league roster.

        Dont see many teams that would be willing to give him a big league chance right away.. Miami maybe.. Toronto seems to like our guys… I also heard Japan, but could not tell if that was a joke…

    If this happens again next year I’m starting a petition to make “Joe Saunders to the Orioles” a national holiday. No reason to resign him after the season, the O’s will let some other team struggle with him for the first 2/3 of the season then take him for the home stretch. It’s the perfect scam
