Angels Designate Jose Rodriguez

By Jeff Todd | August 10, 2020 at 6:07pm CDT

The Angels have designated righty Jose Rodriguez for assignment, per a club announcement. His 40-man spot was needed for southpaw Jose Suarez, who was reinstated from the injured list and optioned to the team’s alternate training site.

Soon to turn 25, Rodriguez first reached the majors in 2019 as a swingman for the Halos. He has only allowed six earned runs in 21 1/3 MLB innings, but he has managed only a 13:12 K/BB ratio and has also coughed up five long balls. The Angels obviously don’t expect that high-wire act to continue succeeding.

If and when he earns his way back to the bigs, the 22-year-old Suarez will hope to improve upon a challenging debut season. He was tagged for 23 long balls and limped to a 7.11 ERA in 81 frames last year. The Los Angeles organization will certainly remain patient given Suarez’s history of high strikeout rates as a minor-league starter.

    I could think of many more Angels that should be designated right now

      Noe Rameriz and Canada Bedrosian are just not major league pitchers.

        What’s wrong with Bedrosian? He’s been posting pretty solid numbers for the past several years out of the pen? He’s also hurt right now so he can’t be designated for assignment… but I also don’t really get why you’d want to designate him… he’s consistently posed ERAs in the low to mid 3.00s which granted isn’t exceptional… but it’s definitely valuable enough to keep around.

          He is the least clutch pitcher i have ever seen. he pitches decently well but when he feels heat he melts in half a second.

    Man 23 long balls in 81 IP! That’s impressive and not in a good way. Though given his relatively impressive stat line through the minors (especially his K’s) hopefully he can turn things around and be more effective going forward. If he doesn’t as a SP… it might be worth at least considering moving him to the pen full time — I mean he’s a LHP with obvious K potential… so that could be something that could wind up being useful out of the pen.

    How did Rodriguez even make it to the majors? His numbers the past 3 years in the minors are horrible? — like what along the way to pitching to a 5.50+ ERA led to Angels to be like “you know what? this guy’s out man!” — haha anyway best of luck to him, he’s actually Pitched much better in the majors than minors even though his secondary numbers don’t exactly back up his ERA.

      That’s bc the angels invest in over priced position players and have a lackluster farm and lackluster pitching.

        they can pool with our pen in Philly. maybe with their powers combined they can be a top 25 pen.
