TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels

Scouting report: Angels update Once again the popular preseason pick to win the American League West, Los Angeles has jumped ahead in the division with one of the best hitting lineups in the majors. The Angels are led by infielder Chone Figgins, who is in the top 10 in batting average and multi-hit games, and outfielder Torii Hunter, who is having another All-Star year with the glove and bat. The Angels' pitching has been disappointing - the staff has the third-worst ERA in the American League. The Orioles will catch a break as Los Angeles' hottest pitcher, Jered Weaver, isn't scheduled to start in the series. The Orioles and Angels played twice earlier this season at Camden Yards, with the Angels winning both games.

Five Million Well Spent

Via Baseball Musings  |  July 03, 2009
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim spent $5 million to bring Bobby Abreu to their team. That’s what he was worth based on his 2008 season, but according to FanGraphs, he’s produced $7.8 million in value half-way through the season. He hit two home runs Thursday night in the Angels 5-2 win over [...]

Report: Angels wanted Haren, but D-Backs declined

Via The Scores Report  |  July 01, 2009
The Angels have leapfrogged the Rangers for first place in the AL West, although that doesn’t mean that they’re ready to stand pat with their current roster. According to a report by FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal, the Halos inquired about Diamondbacks’ starter Dan Haren, who could have joined Jered Weaver, Joe Saunders, John Lackey and Ervin [...]

Two Thoroughly Depressing Games

Back In The AL: Rangers 9, Angels 5 It's hard to have anything comforting or even remotely interesting to say about this game, one that ended the Angels' six-game winning streak; the Angels failed at offense, relatively, and most notably, they failed at pitching, starter Joe Saunders in particular. He now owns a career 11.68 ERA in Texas, and isn't that all you needed...

Stupid Baserunning + Lousy Pitching = Another Texas Loss: Rangers 9, Angels 7

Partly as a consequence of not one but two power outages at the office, I wasn't able to pay close attention to this game, and I'm glad I didn't; Weaver was uncharacteristically bad, although you could argue that a flyball pitcher in Texas is like an armadillo on an Arlington highway: roadkill waiting to happen. The Angels' inspiring-but-not-quite-enough comeback in the ninth was...

Great piece: me: Before I go to some players outperforming or underperforming projections, though, this is quoting you… you were asked which Angel could collapse, which would break out: “If I have to pick one maybe Howie Kendrick. I’m worried about the injuries and inability to lay off the slider outside stalling his development. With his lack of patience, he has to hit .300...
