The LA Angels do not have a lot of options at catcher in the minor leagues which explains how Scott despite hitting .130 with the 66ers was promoted two levels. However, Scott has been on a roll as of late. His last week in Inland Empire Scott hit four homers and drove in 10 runs. Since arriving in Triple-A Salt Lake, Scott has been hitting there too. He has a .364 batting average with three RBIs going 8 for 22 in six games for the Bees.
The move was precipitated by the Angels calling up Dustin Garneau to the majors from Salt Lake 10 days ago.
