The Story: Buster Olney ranks the Angels' lineup as the best in the majors.
The Monkey Says: This shouldn't come as a surprise, but I think it might to some even after the Hamilton signing. The sense I get is a lot of fans and analysts failed to notice just how good the Angels' lineup was last year.

They did lose Morales too, but they will also be getting a full season of Trout and, hopefully, a year out of Albert Pujols that doesn't include a dreadful April.
The Story: Sean Burnett and C.J. Wilson are both on track to be fully ready for Spring Training.
