2013 LA Angels prospect movers and shakers
Every year I like to publish one article which focuses on the predictions of your Angel Minor Leaguers.

Conversely, I didn’t think hitters in A-ball would ever touch Austin Wood, and to be fair they didn’t. Still, his lack of control...

Angels realize a sense of urgency
To reach the postseason, the Angels need to do one thing: win while crossing their fingers at the same time.
Simple, but not so simple.
Every game is going to get tougher, every opponent more difficult to beat. But thats what makes September baseball special, especially in a division race.

To make matters worse for the future, they doubled down and traded three very good prospects for Zack Greinke. Greinke has not performed up to snuff and the same could be said for many of the veterans...

As a result, I added an extra player to each Top 15 list during the pre-2012 series and highlighted a “sleeper prospect” that did not make it into the featured group.
