Contact – B+. Stamets has a short swing designed for putting the ball into play in the middle of the field. There isn’t a ton of leverage involved, but he’s perfectly capable of spraying line drives to all fields and is rarely fooled by change-ups or well placed heaters.
Power – F. Don’t bother, there isn’t any power here. It isn’t his game.

Los Angeles Angles center fielder Mike Trout reported to camp this week looking a little fatter than we expected to say the least. He weighed in at 240 pounds after being listed at 210 last year. Nothing like the freshman 15 right??? Or in his case the freshman 30. It's safe to say the Angles will have one of the best outfields in the MLB with the addition of Josh Hamilton...

On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim signed Chad Cordero to a minor league deal, and Cordero tweeted, “comeback has officially begun.” The 30-year old right-hander — amazingly he’s still just 30 years old — hasn’t pitched in the major leagues since 9 2/3 innings in 2010, and hasn’t pitched a full season in the majors since 2007, which is when he recorded...

Very few questioned the validity of the baseball side of the deal, figuring that a healthy Hamilton is still one of the best hitters in baseball. Hamilton has often struggled with staying healthy, especially last season which saw him begin on a tear, and then had different...

Well, I reviewed the position and personal battles for every pitcher in Angels training camp, so I guess I should do the batters too, right? I really wish I had realized how many freaking people were in camp before I decided to do this, but I made my bed, so I guess I have to lie in it.
