AAA Salt Lake City

The Bees lead the Pacific North Division of the PCL with a 9-6 record. They lost last night to Tucson 4-2 who had Randy Johnson starting on a rehab assignment.  The Bees managed to get 6 hits off of JOhnson, including a 2-for-3 performance by Brandon Wood.

Lefty Phil Seibel, who the Angels got in the Brendan Donnelly trade, has been sent to the DL. In two starts with Salt Lake he is 0-2 with an era of 11.25. As bad as those numbers are, his Spring Training numbers were worse - 6 appearances with an era of 16.89.

AA Arkansas

The Travelers are 5-8 and one game out of first place.  Nick Adenhart continues to dominate and if the Angels are looking for a spot start from the minors, he has to be their first choice. The 20-year old Adenhart pitched 7 shutout innings last night for the win. He has 3 of Arkansas' 5 wins.
