Reggie Willits: "The Happiest Man On Earth."
Wow, that was close.
I don't know what keeps you up at night, but I know what
would have kept up Reggie Willits.
What is it that goats eat again?
It was a wonderful, strange, incredible game. Plenty of
articles are being written on the amazing comeback.
And it was amazing. The best game in Angels history since
game 6 of the 2002 World Series.
But it didn't feel like it was...

Our Trip to the White House
Wanted to wait to post this when I got some photos and finally did. One of our guys took a couple nice shots I'd thought I'd share. One of the days we were in DC, a few of us players (Reggie Willits, Justin Speier, Robb Quinlan) and staff got a tour of the White House, mostly the East Wing and some of the West Wing. I really had to pinch myself because it was surreal. I...

Reggie Willits The Return On The Amarista Callup
Makes sense. One hopes Mark Trumbo will continue to get at-bats, as he's already shown himself to have some value, and the Brandon Wood experience does not argue for long stretches of absenteeism from the plate for a young player.

Reggie, Reggie
Our offense has been working really well and Reggie Willits has been a big part of that. When our offense is working it starts at the top. Vlady is great no matter what, but he is really dangerous with guys on base. We need to get runners on in front of him so that he can really do his damage. Reggie has been great getting on base and it has made a huge difference.
We know that...

Willits wants to start, but adapts to bench role
Reggie Willits is the fifth Beatle, the fifth defensive back, the fifth wheel. He's the Broadway understudy waiting in the wings and memorizing all the lines, hoping to get a chance to show how perfectly he can deliver them.

Reggie, Orlando, Vlady
One of the biggest keys to our offense and our scoring runs early has been Reggie Willits. He always gets on base. Everytime you look up he works the count to 3 and 2 and then he either walks or gets a hit. And right behind him, Orlando Cabrera is a great situational hitter. He puts runners in scoring position. It's all about getting runners on in front of Vlady. He does the...

Willits' discipline passed down from dad
Reggie Willits has evolved into a valuable bench player for manager Mike Scioscia, capable of handling a variety of roles and stepping in at a moment's notice in left, center or right field.
In reflection, Willits sees how his father's work ethic shaped and molded his own, along with his sister's.

From the Minors to the Majors
By David Saltzer, AngelsWin.com Senior Writer
They say that one of the longest roads in America is the one that leads from the Minor Leagues to the Majors. At times, that road can seem a lot longer than the 50 miles from Anaheim to San Bernadino.
For the start of the 2011 season, I decided to make that trek from Single-A ball to the Majors by covering the IE 66ers Home Opener...

Los Angeles Angels Prospect Report - April 27
• Salt Lake: The Bees lost the contest 8-4 to the Tacoma Rainers but Tyson Auer (.293) and Jeremy Moore (.333) contributed on offense with a three-bagger each. The mighty Reggie Willits flex his muscles and went 0-4 with a strikeout. Reggie is hitting .167 in six minor league games, an indication he's ready for a promotion from Scioscia once Izturis is ready to go.

The Myth of the Good At-Bat
Last week, watching Reggie Willits bat against Scott Kazmir, I literally bit my tongue. I'd just flipped on the game; Kazmir was pitching well; Willits stepped to the plate. With two strikes, Reggie just kept fouling off good pitches. Fastballs, sliders, changes–he hit them over the fence behind home-plate.
And the Angels's announcers were ecstatic. Rex Hudler was smiling...
