ANGELS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Angels Shake Things Up…A Bit.
Was Mickey Hatcher encouraging Albert Pujols to spend 2012 doing the best Wilson Valdez impression he could? The Angels fired their long-standing hitting coach last night in an attempt to revive an offense that is on pace to set a record for futility in at least one category. It’s an understandable move in some ways; it won’t hurt to change things up even if Hatcher can...

Santana pitches Angels to win, stability in sight
ANAHEIM, Calif. Even when things were at their worst, Ervin Santana remained steady. He never changed his stuff, never lost his confidence, never blamed the Angels' offense for his string of losses.
He just kept pitching.
Santana figured it would pay off; he just didn't know when. But now he's won two starts in a row, and maybe it's a sign that the Angels are finding...

Struggling Angels fire hitting coach Hatcher
The Los Angeles Angels fired hitting coach Mickey Hatcher on Tuesday and replaced him with Jim Eppard, who had been the hitting coach at Triple-A Salt Lake City. Despite their 4-0 victory over the A's on Tuesday, the Angels have been one of the biggest disappointments in baseball. They have been shut out eight times this season and ranked 23rd in runs scored heading into...

Scioscia is going to ride it out with Pujols
The Angels have tried very little to shake first baseman Albert Pujols out of his season-long slump, choosing instead to largely sit back in hope -- and amazement -- that he will somehow figure things out and return to the level of production he had for 11 seasons with the Cardinals. Manager Mike Scioscia did give Pujols a "mental day off" during the Angels' last...

Angels 4, Athletics 0
Ervin Santana struck out nine during 7 2-3 innings of four-hit ball, Albert Pujols drove in two runs with infield singles, and the Los Angeles Angels rebounded from yet another shutout loss with a 4-0 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night.
Mike Trout went 3 for 4 with a homer and three runs scored for the Angels, who finally produced enough offense to back a strong...

What's it going to take for the Angels to bench Vernon Wells?
They said he couldn't be any worse than he was in 2011. They were wrong. This summer, the LA Angels and Mike Scioscia disdainfully present "Vernon Wells: Suck Harder!"
Yes, it is true. No, that fake movie teaser isn't real, but the part about Vernon Wells actually finding a way to be even worse than he was in his disastrous 2011 campaign is. Yes, his batting...

Torii Hunter's son, major college football recruit, arrested
When it was announced late last night that Los Angeles Angels outfielder Torii Hunter had taken an indefinite leave of absence from the team, it wasn’t immediately obvious why there’d be any type of college football twist to the story. Only there is, and it’s under the most unfortunate circumstances.
That’s because according to a Texas TV station, Hunter took the leave to...

Torii Hunter Placed on Restricted List for 'Personal Reasons' After Son Arrested for Sexual Assault

Darius McClinton Hunter, Son of Torii Hunter, Charged With Sexual Assault of Child
Torii Hunter of the Los Angeles Angels won’t be playing baseball for awhile. His 17 year old son in Texas, Darius McClinton Hunter, has been charged with sexual assault of a child along with four other high schoolers. The Angels have placed Hunter on the restricted list until this issue is resolved.
This is a very serious situation and I am glad that the Angels are allowing...

Jered Weaver sings along to ‘Hit the Road, Jack’ as he’s pulled (Video)
Your browser does not support iframes.
If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Jered Weaver has looked like a Cy Young contender through the early part of the 2012 MLB season, but he could not beat the Rangers on Sunday night. In fact, he was shellacked by them. Just two starts after his no-hitter, Weaver allowed eight earned runs on 10 hits and could not get out of the...

Angels fall even further behind Rangers
ARLINGTON, Texas If the Angels aren't in awe of the Rangers now, they at least have a greater appreciation of how difficult it will be to catch Texas.
That challenge became just a little harder after Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Rangers, who took two of the three games over the weekend. Texas now holds an 8-game lead over Los Angeles in the AL West standings.
The ferocity...

How Angels hooked a Trout in draft
Los Angeles Angels rookie outfielder Mike Trout is the American League version of Bryce Harper, so how the heck did he fall to the 25th pick of the 2009 draft?
"You got me," says Trout's father, Jeff.
Call it anti-East Coast bias. Anti-New Jersey bias. Maybe even anti-Billy Rowell bias.
There is more to the story, much more, but what the heck. Let's start by...
