We at Razzball realize that exporting our views across the country has damaging consequences on the blogosphere. To help make amends, we are reaching out to leading team blogs and featuring their locally blogged answers to pressing 2012 fantasy baseball questions regarding their team. We feel this approach will be fresher, more sustainable, and require less energy consumption (for us anyway). The 2012 Angels Fantasy Baseball Preview comes courtesy of Sam Miller from The OC Register.
1) The addition of Pujols creates a logjam, which sounds very odd. But it’s true. I went over my thoughts when he landed in Bobby Grichville. What do you think? Specifically, does Mark Trumbo play and where?
First Trumbo has to get healthy. He’s got a weird foot thing, which is weird because the guy he replaced had a weird foot thing, and the guy who is writing this answer has a weird foot thing. I just like the shape of them. Can I see your foot? The left one.
But the problem with even ...

By Robert Cunningham - AngelsWin.com Feature Writer
Major league managers, coaches, and scouts always talk about the importance of pitching depth. However, and perhaps just as importantly, catching depth is also critical to a team’s success. The Angels have created a catching corps of Chris Iannetta, Hank Conger, and Bobby Wilson to provide Mike Scioscia with options for the 2012...

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Mark Trumbo has been medically cleared to resume baseball activities.
Trumbo had his rookie season curtailed after he suffered a broken bone in his right foot.
The 26-year-old Trumbo batted .254 with 29 home runs and 87 RBIs, but he enters the season without a position after the Angels signed Albert Pujols to a 10-year contract in the offseason.

2011 wasn't Maicer Izturis' greatest season, but it was far from his worst. More important than his production though was that for the first time in a long time, Izturis stayed healthy for an entire season. Can he do it again in 2012? Do the Angels even need him to?

For all intents and purposes, the Angels off-season is over. Amazingly, I have not once had to resort to one of these random thought pieces in order to content flowing throughout the winter. Turns out that overhauling the front office and then signing the greatest player alive gives us bloggers a lot of material to work with. Who knew? Anyway, I've finally run out of full...

Trade Candidates – AL West Edition

Let’s see how I will (un)settle the West.
LA Angels of Anaheim – Peter Bourjos.
Technically not my idea, as John mentioned him as a possibllity a week ago, and there have been rumors that he could goto Washington for some pitching. But the Angels seem to think Mike Trout is ready, and that makes Bourjos trade bait, and attractive trade bait at that.

From Dan Martin:The Yankees agreed Wednesday to sign Russell Branyan to a minor-league deal with an invitation to major league spring training.
The move does not impact the team’s chances of adding another lefty bat and it remains in the hunt for Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui and Raul Ibanez.
