With depth and improved health, the bullpen -- not one of the strengths in 2013 -- could be one of the Angels' assets in 2014.

Here's to better health for the pen in 2014.

 

The depth is starting to build back down to AA, a big departure from the past few years.

With a healthy Burnett, the pen actually looks pretty good.

It's great to have a few new options for matching up with the Rangers and A's in the late innings. that was a real killer last year.

The pen definitely looks promising.

I'm getting deja vu, in an ominous sort of way:

 

The 31-year-old left-hander started throwing again in the new year and is targeting a return by Opening Day.

 

"That's my goal," Burnett said during a recent phone conversation. "When I sat down with Dr. [James] Andrews last August, I wanted to figure out something that would allow me to pitch this upcoming season. As of now my goal is to be ready for Opening Day. Not necessarily ready for Spring Training when it starts, but to be ready in late March and get ready for the season in April."

No doubt that until he actually pitches in a regular season game, and does so for a while, Burnett will remain a big question mark.

We already went through Ryan "entire season without pitching" Madson in 2013.
