Angels, Cam Bedrosian Avoid Arbitration

By Connor Byrne | January 9, 2020 at 8:06pm CDT

The Angels and right-handed reliever Cam Bedrosian have avoided arbitration with a $2.8MM settlement, Robert Murray reports. That’s the same salary MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz projected for Bedrosian in October.

At times, the 28-year-old Bedrosian has been a downright excellent late-game choice for the Angels since he made his major league debut in 2014. Bedrosian was at his best in 2016, a 40 1/3-innning showing in which he logged a near-spotless 1.12 ERA/2.13 FIP. He wasn’t that good in 2019, but Bedrosian did manage a solid 3.23 ERA/3.83 FIP with 9.39 K/9, 3.23 BB/9 and a 47.6 percent groundball rate over 61 1/3 innings, despite a career-low average fastball velocity of 93 mph.

Bedrosian, who has one more arbitration-eligible season left after this one, will once again be an important part of the Angels’ bullpen in 2020. The team itself has undergone major changes in the past couple months, but its bullpen looks largely the same.

    He’s fine in lower leverage spots and is paid accordingly.

        Cam and Buttrey both pitched well the first few months of last season. It was Allen that was terrible from the beginning. I thought Cam finally figured it out, but then he reverted back to his old ways. Overall, it was still an improvement. He has improved the past 2 years. If he can continue down the path, he will be fine.

          I think we ended up just overworking Buttrey because he was our best reliever in terms of ERA for the whole season until he hit a stretch of a couple tough games while Robles hit his stride and finished the season strong. Cam pitched well but it seemed like he was bad with inherited runners and was lights out otherwise.

          “I think we ended up just overworking Buttrey ”

          Since we are talking about Angel fans, I just wanted to take note. I love it when baseball fans use the word “we”.

          I think it was Red Patterson who told me I should use the word “we” when talking about the Angels. If you are a fan of a team… it is “we’.

          People who have a hard time with that don’t get it.

    Actually, most Angels fans cringe when he enters a close game.

      Most Angel fans don’t know any other players other than Trout and Ohtani. I love the Angels but our fanbase sucks.

        Agreed. The ones I talk to on angels win forums seem to think the pitching is fine. By the time they actually build a rotation Trout and Rendon will be in their mid 30s. Teheran was non tendered and Bundy was 7-14 and they are them as big improvements.

        They Call Hansel Robles the undertaker as if he’s a great closer.

        You wonder if the majority are all high on crack.

          Do people really think the pitching is fine? I really think you guys are exaggerating, and that’s being nice.

          Ohtani has a great arm and still can be an ace. Heaney has number two stuff, if not better. Canning has a high floor and should be a quality major league pitcher. And Bundy and Tehran eat innings. Teheran has five pitches and will throw them at any time, which makes him better than his peripherals and Bundy has one elite pitch, one good pitch, and a very hitable fastball. I’m optimistic he can have a serviceable year.

          I think everyone knows their three best pitchers can’t be expected to pitch 400 innings. The pitchers are fine, the injury concerns are the issue.

          Unfortunately I have to agree with kingslayer to a degree. We have a pretty vocal group of folks that are more or less clueless in regards to the modern game. Fans who’s go-to stats are still W-L/AVG/RBI. I see quite a lot of disregard towards anything SABr related simply because it’s from a “baseball nerd who never played the game”. They over emphasize grit and determination like a dude can consistently will his way to success. Tons of blame towards Atre’s lack of spending, which is a odd considering the contracts he’s doled out. A bizarre disregard towards role players simply because they aren’t superstars ( like Bedrosian here). The list goes on.

          Obviously there’s a solid group of knowledgeable fans as well, many of whom comment on here regularly (HalosHeavenJJ/macstruts/Koamalu to name a few) but when I scan the comments section of an Angels article I often have to shake my head….

          Thank you for articulating without the hyperbole. I don’t think that’s just Angel fans, I think that’s most fans.

          Listen to MLB radio on XM radio. I don’t think you can limit that to Angel fans.

          I do get upset when people complain about Moreno. He’s a great owner. He may not be the most baseball savvy, but the man has integrity and he spends.

          To me, I watch the movie 61* and cringe. Knowledgeable Angel fans know why. But I don’t judge fans based on my opinions. I judge them based on losing sleep when they lose.

    After the all start break, until he got hurt, he was great. He was awful against Houston and Texas.

    He’s a serviceable RP. He has the occasional blowup, He had 1 save, two blown saves, 15 holds. Fifty nine appearances and all his bad games were against Houston and Texas.

    Because he allowed 7 runs in two games, ERA for an RP is deceiving, but still had a good 3.23 ERA.

    He’s serviceable.

    I agree that he is serviceable for the most part, but has shown a high ceiling, and a low floor. He has been lights out in the past, but also has times where he is hitting too much of the plate. I honestly feel that the price paid here is fair considering everything, and I hope he is a solid piece of the bullpen this year. I feel he fits in well as a 6th or 7th inning guy, but works best with fresh slate starting an inning.
