Quote:
Donnelly was 23-8 with a 2.87 ERA and four saves in 276 appearances with the Angels. He signed with them as a minor league free agent in January 2001, and made his big league debut in 2002 after 10 minor league seasons with nine different organizations.
His best year was in 2003, when he allowed only two earned runs in his first 50 innings. Donnelly's 0.38 ERA was the lowest by a regular big league reliever at the All-Star break, and he was the winning pitcher in the AL's 7-6 victory over the NL in the All-Star game. He finished the season with a 1.58 ERA and a career-high three saves.
