   Nice little blurb on the post game with Eckstein about using metrics to establish fielder position. Seems like they have a four man team accumulating data to filter down to the club. They replayed 3 balls hit directly into the shift with the guys positioned perfectly. Love it.

    Why is everyone so worried? i mean depth is the key right, they supposedly have it so.. they should be fine right? sarcasm and satire aside the amount of injuries a team faces are the key and to which positions of course... i dont wish it on any team but it should affect them just as all of ours did us last year so... we need to put them behind us early to be in the race

    If Tyler Skaggs is going to open up the season as the Angels' fifth starter, the 22-year-old left-hander doesn't know it yet. On Monday, when he worked around seven hits and three walks to give up only two runs (one earned) to the Giants, "was a huge step forward," manager Mike Scioscia said. View the full article

    Very little has been reported with regard to a potential Mike Trout contract extension ever since the Angels' 22-year-old center fielder agreed on a $1 million deal for 2014 almost a month ago, a record for a pre-arbitration player. "I haven't heard anything, either," Trout said Monday morning. "Nothing." View the full article

    Caught these from yesterday's post game: Regarding one CJ Wilson, whose nibbling around the plate Jose has considered: "Yes. I do try to not nibble sometimes..." I can't remember remember whom Jose was referring to here, but it don't matter. It's a good one no matter who it concerns: "He's not looking like he's all that full and jumpy."

    Joe Blanton: How does this happen? 1 2

    March 22, 2014 by Docwaukee

    • 28 replies
    • 2.2k views

    So it was pretty much a consensus from the word go that the Blanton signing was ill-advised. Yet I don't think anyone would have expected the catastrophic disaster he has been. Granted, he's never really had good stuff and was generally mediocre at best, but how does he absolutely explode like this? His velocity and movement haven't changed much. His mix of pitches seems pretty similar. He actually was pitching in more of a hitter's park in philly prior to coming here and wasn't nearly as bad. He had a short stint with the Dogs where he looked pretty bad though. Are all of his struggles attributable to league change? Any thoughts?
