2012 Player Preview: Maicer Izturis

2011 wasn't Maicer Izturis' greatest season, but it was far from his worst. More important than his production though was that for the first time in a long time, Izturis stayed healthy for an entire season. Can he do it again in 2012? Do the Angels even need him to? (EDITOR'S NOTE: Due to the early start, not all stat projection systems are available yet,...

FAN Projection Targets: AL West Second Basemen

Wendy and Matt have already covered the NL West and AL Central, so let’s continue to show that we here at FanGraphs are not subject to East Coast bias and look at the other set of second baseman on the left coast: the AL West. Due to the presence of the A’s and Mariners, the AL West does not generally project as a strong offensive division, but second base is the exception with...

Potential Trade Targets – Maicer Izturis

It’s no secret that the Rays need to upgrade their shortstop for next season. Their shortstops were amongst the worst hitters in the majors, ranking 28/30 in wOBA with 263. For those wondering at home, that’s .001 points better than the 30th ranked team. There aren’t that many quality shortstops available in free agency, so the Rays aren’t likely to go this...

Don’t Sleep on the Angels

The Los Angeles Angels have already made one big move this week, acquiring Chris Iannetta from the Rockies to hopefully solve their offensive woes at catcher. Now, they have been tied to free agent third baseman Aramis Ramirez. A Ramirez signing would give them a glut of infielders with him, Alberto Callaspo, Maicer Izturis, Erick Aybar, Howie Kendrick, Mark Trumbo and a healthy...

With a new job in place with a new organization it's no doubt they will want to make the biggest splash possible in order to let the...

Angels lose; look to Wild Card race

ANAHEIM, CA After Thursday's potential soul-crushing loss in Toronto, it would have been understandable if the Angels were a little depressed as they got ready to take on Oakland in a weekend series at the Big A. They're done in the West; and they have only a slight hope of making the playoffs. Even though they're named the Angels, it doesn't look like divine intervention...

6+ hours of baseball & 14 pitchers later, the Angels finally spilt the first 2 in Oakland

I’ve been dreading this road trip for quite a while. Well, not Baltimore so much, but Oakland and Toronto. Oakland is, and always will be, a pain in the ass to the Angels. There is about 30 people in the stadium, the team is going no where, but they play the Angels like it’s the 7th game of the World Series. I knew for the Angels to remain close to the Rangers, they would...

My oh Mai–cer, Izturis is Captain clutch for the Angels

In what has to be the most surprising development of this baseball season, the LAA are just 1.5 games back of the Texas Rangers in the AL West. Who are these guys? Not one of their hitters are batting .300 or better. Their top home run and RBI guy is a rookie. The 3 catchers are batting less than .200. Their big off-season acquisition isn’t even hitting his weight. And I thought...

That left LA (79-65) just 2 12 games behind Texas (82-63) in the division race - just two out in the all-important loss column. Jered Weaver didn't win his 17th game, but did lower his league-leading ERA to 2.44, striking out 11 Yanks and keeping alive...
