Despite starting the 2009 season with one of the most depleted starting pitching rotations in the major leagues, the Angels have rebounded from an uncharacteristic slow start.  With journeymen pitchers Shane Loux and Matt Palmer, the Angels have shown that with a little bit of faith and a good farm system, you can get the job done without your aces.  Palmer has gone 4-0 in four starts, most recently getting his first complete game on five hits against the Red Sox.  On the season, Palmer has an ERA of 3.16 with 16 strikeouts.  Loux has gone 2-2 with a 4.64 ERA and proved valuable in a threadbare pitching rotation backed up by an even weaker bullpen.  It seems that with adversity, the Angels have responded and come up big, finding pitching help where they least expected it.  Now with Santana and Lackey on their way back, Loux could be headed to the Angels ailing bullpen (worst in the majors) while Palmer appears to be poised to keep his spot in the rotation.
