(Bridgeport, Conn.) - Bridgeport Bluefish team officials today announced that pitcher David Carpenter has had his contract purchased by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim organization. He will report to Triple-A Salt Lake of the Pacific Coast League.
"David is a true leader both on the field and in the clubhouse, so it's great to see him receive this opportunity," says Paul Herrmann, Bluefish Senior Director of Baseball Operations and Public Relations. "The Angels are a great organization and we hope to see David make it back to the big leagues this season."
Carpenter has made eight appearances with the 'Fish this season, collecting 10 strikeouts in 8.0 innings and not allowing an earned run.
