Edmonton Trappers News Release
EDMONTON, AB - The Edmonton Trapper Baseball Club announced today that right-handed pitcher Bo Donaldson has been assigned to the club from Short-Season Single-A Vermont. Edmonton's roster currently stands at 23 players, 11 pitchers, two catchers, six infielders and four outfielders, plus one player (right-handed pitcher Troy Mattes) on the disabled list.
Donaldson, 29, began the season on the disabled list with the Salt Lake Stingers. He was activated from the DL on April 24 and made three appearances with the Stingers, going 0-0, 1.80 (5.0 IP - 1 ER). The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native last appeared in a Pacific Coast League game on May 3 at Albuquerque when he allowed one run on two hits and two walks while fanning three in 3.0 innings of work. Donaldson is in his seventh season as a pro. He was originally selected by the Anaheim Angels out of the University of Tampa in the 19th round of the 1997 draft. Donaldson has previous experience in the PCL with the Nashville Sounds and Portland Beavers. He appeared with both clubs during the 2001 season when he was traded from Nashville to Portland as the player-to-be-named in a deal that sent Calgary native Ryan Radmanovich to Nashville. Donaldson spent the 2002 season in the New York Yankees farm system, going 0-1, 4.55 (27.2 IP - 14 ER) in 17 appearances with Double-A Norwich, and 5-4, 3.56 (78.1 IP - 31 ER) in 29 appearances (nine starts) with Triple-A Columbus. He is 26-22 with a 2.89 ERA (436.1 IP - 140 ER) and 71 saves in 280 career appearances (14 starts).
The next Trapper home game will be on Sunday, May 11 when the club will take on the Portland Beavers in a doubleheader. The first game will begin at 1:35 PM. Tickets for all regular season home games are on sale and can be purchased through Ticketmaster at 451-8000.
