The Angels seems to smiling on the Travelers lately. The Los Angeles Angels Organization recently reassigned Catching Tandem Ben Johnson and Tim Duff to the Travs from the Triple A Salt Lake Bees. Johnson was a 2008 Texas League All-Star before being promoted to Salt Lake on July 6th. Before being promoted Johnson was batting .267 with a league-best 20 home runs and 71 RBI. Catchers Flint Wipke and Brian Walker were reassigned to the Single A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. Hopefully Johnsons return will help the bolster the Arkansas offense as they prepare for the Texas League Championships.
Youl'll be able to see Ben Johnson Wednesday night, Aug 13, when the Travs return from their current road trip against the San Antonio Missions. Also Thursday night is clunker night for all those interested.
