Abreu: Play me or trade me
At age 37, Bobby Abreu isn't exactly washed up as a Major League Baseball player. If he's hid in a good lineup he could still produce. Not at a high level, but he can still produce. Put him with the Detroit Tigers at DH or in leftfield and I think he could go for 15-20 homers and a .275 average. I just don't think he's an everyday player at this point in his career...

Bobby Abreu to Angels: Play me or trade me
Tempe, Ariz.-- Bobby Abreu hasn't arrived at Angels camp, but the veteran outfielder has already caused a stir, telling a reporter from ESPNdeportesLosAngeles.com on Tuesday that he would prefer to be traded if he isn't playing every day.
"I'm an everyday player, I can still be in the lineup for a major league team," Abreu, who will be 38 in March, said by...

New-look Angels still face same questions
It was a transformative winter for the Angels.
Just days after the team missed out on the playoffs for the second consecutive year (finishing 10 games behind the AL West champion Texas Rangers each time), owner Arte Moreno fired general manager Tony Reagins. That set off a front-office housecleaning, overdue in many ways.
New GM Jerry Dipoto brought in a new set of decision-makers...

Angels' Trumbo ready for new challenge in 2nd year
Mark Trumbo did everything the Los Angeles Angels asked in 2011 - he led the team in home runs and RBIs, played a solid first base and did his best to keep them in playoff contention.
Now, the Angels want something else from Trumbo after he finished second in the rookie of the year voting. They'd like him to shift across the diamond to third base.
The Angels signed star free...

2012 Player Preview: Vernon Wells
Let's just be politically correct and say the Vernon Wells' first year as an Angel didn't exactly go as planned. The combination of miserable performance and his terrible contract have turned Vernon into persona non grata with Angels fans, but can an off-season if clearing his head and changing his swing get him back in their good graces?
2011 Stats: 505 AB, .218...

Pujols not Angels' only improvement
Albert Pujols stepped into the batting cage, and Angels officials began a quiet scramble. Where is Arte? He has to see this.
As spring training moments go, here was a big one: Pujols, wearing the cap and windbreaker of his new team, taking his first (unofficial) round of batting practice as an Angel. Full-squad workouts don't begin until next week, but Monday morning was, for...

No Kazmir Reunion Expected with Mets
Looks like Scott Kazmir won’t be reuniting with the Mets.
He had his tryout and unfortunately he was not able to hit over 88 MPH with his fastball. Some scouts seem to have him at 91 but all the guns are different so who knows. Scott Kazmir did have other pitches so maybe he learned to use them effectively but you never know until he gets the chance to prove it.
