Angels Select John Curtiss, Designate Matt Ramsey

By Jeff Todd | May 31, 2019 at 6:57pm CDT

The Angels have selected the contract of reliever John Curtiss. He’ll take the roster spot of fellow righty Matt Ramsey, who was designated for assignment. To create an active roster opening, the club optioned down Jake Jewell.

Curtiss, 26, came up to the majors for a single appearance earlier this year and was promptly designated. He has also seen limited MLB action in each of the prior two campaigns. He was carrying a 5.91 ERA in 21 1/3 innings over 13 outings to open the year at Triple-A, recording 29 strikeouts but also issuing 13 walks.

Ramsey is following the course of Curtiss’s first look. He spun a scoreless frame of work after being summoned for his first trip to the majors, but now finds himself ticketed for a return to Triple-A on outright assignment — unless another team puts in a claim. Like Curtiss, Ramsey has been charged with more than five earned per nine during his time this year at the offensively charged environment of Salt Lake City. He posted a 15:8 K/BB ratio in 13 2/3 innings there and does have a history of racking up swings and misses in the upper minors.

      Dude has a WHIP of over 2.0 …Arte Moreno just doesn’t get it…you don’t pay injury prone “superstars” on the backside of their career HUGE money for 10 years,like Pujols, and certainly not Upton…that guy is the KING OF WIFF…Oh, and then that Hamilton debacle. .then you can’t afford to pay any quality pitchers….they have none and won’t for sometime moving forward. I don’t know who is advising Arte he obviously has more $$$ then brains

    If you are going to bring in someone who stinks, is it asking too much to bring in a Left Hander who stinks?

    Ramsey is low-key nice.
    You can point to his AAA ERA, but most of the damage was done in a third of an inning against Las Vegas in which he allowed four. Take that appearance out, and we’re looking at a 2.70 ERA which is supported by another strong PCL showing over 40 something innings in Houston’s system last year. With the way a lot of the bullpens in the league have looked, he would be an upgrade. Esp. considering he has three options remaining, allowing for flexibility.
