"Angels RHP Kelvim Escobar has been dropped from the rotation after one start and sent to the bullpen due to a lack of stamina in his surgically repaired throwing shoulder. Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia said Escobar will not pitch again until the middle of next week. There is a possibility that Escobar, expected to be a reliever the rest of the season, could wind up on the disabled list. "If he's not ready to pitch by the middle of next week then we'll have to DL him. We don't anticipate that," Scioscia said before Thursday night's game at Tampa Bay (Sportsline)."
Kelvim is just not ready to be a full time starter. He should be decent out of the bullpen, but is really a year away from being an impact player. The Angels have not been playing well, and I really think there should start being whispers of firing Mike Scioscia. He is really holding back some of the young talent and I just don't understand it. There offense needs help and instead of bringing up guys like Sean Rodriguez or Brandon Wood, he continues to play Aybar and Kendrick. Sorry that makes no sense to me...
