According to my source, Trevor Reckling has been moved to the bullpen to "work on some things". Most of which is the command of his pitches which many feel is a result of the mechanics of his delivery.
The AngelsWin.com top prospect going into the season has failed to get ahead of hitters, getting himself in "hitters counts" the majority of the time while walking 48 vs. 45 strikeouts in 65 1/3 innings of work and getting pounded at the tune of a 7.99 ERA. Opposing batters hit .332 against him in the PCL in 2010.
Reckling will be replaced in the rotation with Amalio Diaz who has been solid in relief this season, posting a 2.83 ERA between Double-A and Triple-A this season. Diaz currently sports a 3.32 ERA as a member of the Salt Lake Bees.
