Salt Lake, the Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels since 2001, visits tonight to begin a three-game series. The Bees (41-38) are in second place in the Pacific Coast League’s Pacific North Division, trailing Colorado Springs (46-32) by 51/2 games. Salt Lake took two of three at home in mid-June.

PROSPECTS TO WATCH

Chris Pettit, LF

The top left-field prospect in the organization, according to Baseball America, Pettit should be a handful with his .367 average, 21 doubles, 34 RBIs and 14 steals.

Anthony Ortega, RHP

Rated as the Angels’ No. 9 prospect, he’s struggling in his second go-round in Triple-A, posting a 9.64 ERA in four starts.

Matt Brown, 1B

A year after tearing up the PCL (.320, 21 HR, 67 RBIs in 97 games), he’s hitting just .216, but still showing power with 10 HR and 44 RBIs.

Bobby Wilson, C

Earned September call-up because of his defense a year ago.

NAMES YOU MAY KNOW

Howie Kendrick, 2B

Has .294 average in 303 games with the Angels, but hasn’t put together his full power/speed game at the next level.

Brandon Wood, 3B

No longer technically a prospect because of his service time, but has a minor-league career high of 43 home runs.
