Have they posted the 25man yet?

[Homebrewer]

What is going on with Brandon Lyon? I'd rather have him than Khon. 

Me too

[WallyWorld]

Kind of seems like both Lyon and Khon will make the team to start out.  With both Burnett and DDLR starting on the DL, and presumably 7 spots to fill, you have:

 

Frieri

Jepsen

Salas

Smith

Maronde

Khon

Lyon

 

maybe Rasmus gets a spot, but I doubt it.

[nate]

7 man pen?

[Redondo]

If the reserves don't play for at all for two weeks, I will be convinced that MS really has been abducted by aliens.

 

Lol

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@Alden_Gonzalez: Brandon Lyon has been told he won't make the team and is contemplating whether or not to accept assignment to AAA. #Angels won't force him.

I'm sure we'll know the 25 man roster about an hour after tonight's game.

Dammit. Kohn sucks. 

[Homebrewer]

Dammit. Kohn sucks. 

If I was Lyons, I'd go to AAA. Kohn wont last a month into the season. As long as Lyon gets assurance he would get the first spot, he should stay and give Kohn a little time to hang himself.

[ELEVEN]

I refuse to believe Kohn beat anyone in this pen out for a job.

The Quinlan/Mathis photos?

Michael Kohn is the heir to Jepsen's throne

14! RT @Swydan: Rockies kept 14 pitchers and 6 OFers, and their backup C can't catch. Miight be the worst constructed roster of all-time.

But other than that it's awesome!

[YouthofToday]

That tweet was incorrect. Rockies kept 12 pitchers.

[disarcina]

will be released after tonight's game -- might be announced on post- game show.

 

as for bench guys not playing -- I think McDonald is a bench guy who Scioscia has already decided to have late inning defensive at 3B for Freese -- so  he will get playing time,

 

and then Green (although, I think he should make it and thought he was pretty much a lock a week or so ago -- I am now not so sure about that -- but someone like Green who could play 2B/SS and 3B is needed to PH for McDonald after he comes after Freese's 7th inning AB........and then that player (Green? Ian Stewart, who else?) can stay in and play 3B if need be.

 

So I think the extra position player will be an infielder and not an OF'er -- not good news for Cowgill.......Shuck stays, Long goes.

[disarcina]

should be announcing the final 25 right about now -- when it's announced hope that our AngelsWin.com Johnny (or is it David Saltzer?) on the spot crew can post it here ASAP.

[fan_since79]

Victor Rojas said it should be in later tonight.

 

edit: Skaggs just said he was told this evening he's in the starting rotation.

As he should be. Can't expect him to improve if he's stuck in AAA, I think we can handle his early hardships if it pans out by the summer.

[HaloCory22]

Shuck optioned to AAA

[BaseballMom]

Just saw on twitter that Shuck was optioned to AAA

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@pedromoura: Angels to grab last spots on the 25-man opening day roster: RHP Matt Shoemaker, OF Collin Cowgill, IF Ian Stewart. No Shuck.

[HaloCory22]

Cowgill and Stewart make the team.

[BaseballMom]

2 great minds Cory

[HaloCory22]

Awesome for Shoemaker.

[Stradling]

Grant Greene?

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@Alden_Gonzalez: Shuck did not make the team. Cowgill and Stewart round out bench. Shoemaker, Maronde, Kohn, Salas make bullpen. Lyon will go to AAA. #Angels
