   Chris Nelson suffered what Angels manager Mike Scioscia said was a "significant" right hamstring strain while running down the first-base line to end the top of the seventh inning on Wednesday, an injury that could sideline the third baseman for the last four and a half weeks of this season.

   Angels Classic Rewind | Dateline: August 29th, 2002

   By Joe Haakenson, AngelsWin.com Contributor - AUG. 29, 2002 GAME 133 - DEVIL RAYS AT ANGELS ANAHEIM -- The 100-or-so members of the media in attendance created a playoff atmosphere before the Angels' game Thursday. But then the public address announcer introduced the lineup of the visiting Tampa Bay Devil Rays, owners of baseball's worst record, and it was clear that the game itself was little more than window dressing. That the Angels' 6-1 victory put them in the wild-card lead in the American League didn't seem to matter much to the fans in the right field bleachers who chanted ``Strike! Strike! Strike!'' while littering the field with beach balls in the seventh …

   I know that he's not really considered a prospect, but he's had a pretty nice minor league career so far. Great discipline, good speed, decent pop. Can he defend? If so, seems like he might be a better 4th OF option than Shuck.

   Eight walks in his first 69 plate appearances for the Halos, after not walking much in an org that preached it (Oakland) Small sample size? Or has he changed his approach? Gotta like the .800+ OPS since coming here. Send him to 3B when Kendrick is activated.

    Would you take a chance on him? He's been placed on waivers, and personally I'd rather wait until he's a free agent, but would you sign him? I would. He's not that far removed from some really solid seasons. This year his era and his BB/9 is up, but I think he's still better than some of our current rotation.

    Mike Trout is the second greatest player I've ever seen 1 2

    • 2.4k views

    A couple things to consider as you digest my statement: 1) I've been following baseball for over three decades, since the early '80s, so what I've "seen" covers that period of time 2) The best player I've ever seen play is Barry Bonds, who was an incredible hitter - steroids or not. My belief is that regardless of what impact steroids had on a player's performance, considering two things a) the likelihood that a large percentage of players were using steroids at any give time, and even considering the impact of steroids, not all players were performing at a high level of play, my conclusion is that Bonds was great no matter what his "steroidal" impact was.

    Mets trade Marlon Byrd hours before his giveaway night

    Typical Mets. Byrd traded to Pirates hours before Marlon Byrd T-Shirt night. New York Mets fans fired up to attend Tuesday night's Marlon Byrd T-shirt night might end up a little disappointed when the outfielder isn't in the lineup ... and when they don't get a Marlon Byrd "Let it fly" tee. Turns out the Mets traded Byrd to the playoff-contending Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday afternoon. A few hours after the deal, the team's website was still promoting the giveaway. However, by 4 p.m. ET, the promotion, which included a picture (below) of front-and-back views of the T-shirt, was removed. newyork.mets.mlb.com A call to the Mets' box office confirmed the team won…

    Marlins Release Casey Kotchman 1 2

    By Steve Adams [August 26, 2013 at 2:15pm CST] The Marlins announced that they have activated Casey Kotchman from the disabled list and released him. The 30-year-old Kotchman signed a minor league deal with the Marlins this offseason but appeared in only six games for the Fish before hitting the disabled list with a hamstring injury. Upon being activated from the 60-day DL in June, he suffered an oblique strain that has kept him on the shelf since. Kotchman went hitless (0-for-20) in his six games with the Marlins but is a career .260/.326/.385 hitter in parts of 10 seasons with the Angels, Braves, Red Sox, Rays, Indians, Mariners and Marlins. Hopefully, he'll be able…

    Dane De La Rosa had good stuff in Tampa Bay. His fastball velocity climbed all the way to 96 mph as the year would go on, just like it has with the Angels in 2013. And in his final season in the Rays' organization, he started to develop the tighter breaking ball that Rays pitching coach Jim Hickey believes has made all the difference.

    By Robert Cunningham, AngelsWin.com Staff Writer - Back in early to mid-July I wrote this article regarding the possibility that Howie Kendrick might be traded before the 2014 season starts. In that article I listed some teams that might be possible trade partners for the Angels. In one of those trade scenarios, the one involving the Dodgers, I gave a very low probability of making a trade because of the possible perceived battle for the hearts, minds and ticket sales of the fans and residents of Los Angeles County. A lot of news has passed in the last two months, revolving not only around Howie Kendrick but many other players as well. In fact it has now spread beyon…
