The Story: Mike Trout formally accepts his AL Rookie of the Year award.

The Story: The 2002 Angels bullpen ranks as the 7th best ever according to Buster Olney.
The Monkey Says: And just imagine how much better it could have been had K-Rod been on the team for the whole season.
The Story: Predicting a Mike Trout sophomore slump without any real evidence.
The Monkey Says: Welcome to my newest crusade, and apologies to this poor sap that wrote this garbage I linked to, which is people predicting a Trout sophomore slump for no real reason other than "be...

By Gregory Bird - AngelsWin.com Columnist
In our first two articles we looked in depth at Torii’s performance last year batting second. We also examined the candidates to replace him. But it’s still unclear, so we ask again: Who goes in the two-hole in 2013? Of course, we all want a lineup—billed as the most prolific of our era— to live up to expectations and carry the...

January 22, 2013
Watching Howie Kendrick hit has always been a joy for me. The way he sprays line drives all over the field is simply fun to watch. When a hitter is consistently able to square the ball up no matter the location, they are pretty special. Kendrick falls into this category when he is going well, as he is extremely tough to get out and seems to hit everything. Angel...
