Wow, not what I expected. I thought it would be three catchers, Shuck, Luis Jiminez instead of Harris.

[Glen]

Sweet, no Snyder.

[Chuck]

I'm actually glad Calhoun and Jimenez start the season off in AAA and get regular at bats. Calhoun hasn't looked good at all the past three weeks too. Shuck has earned it. As have Romine, Harris and Conger. 

[jshep]

Neat.

 

Monday can't come soon enough, although I'll miss the first hour or so of that game.

[Brian Ilten]

Conger is there. He deserves it. And Scioscia can suck it.

[bloodbrother]

Nice, got some lefties on the bench in Conger, Romine and Shuck

[Team Cooley]

Nice!

[Chuck]

Nice!

 

Team Cooley in the house! 

[Scott34]

Not preferable.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Nice! Conger made it! I really hope that Sosh gives him a fair shake here. His offense is awesome, if he can just be adequate, we're well off. 

 

Let's get this season started!!!!

[Angel Oracle]

Congrats Hank, A.B., Brendan, and Andrew.

[The Dude]

Like most, if not all of us here, I'm happy to see Conger on the roster to start the year. Haven't seen much of Shuck over the spring, but from what I have seen, I like and he's still pretty young(24 or 25 I believe) Hope he contributes enough to stay on the roster.

[Richard]

Hell yeah! Go Angels! 

[Docwaukee]

I am very happy for Hank.  It's his time

 

It's too bad that Calhoun didn't seize the opportunity.  Shuck deserved it.  There were some holes in Calhoun's game that were exposed this spring that we didn't see last year.  I hope he can overcome them in a short period for when Trumbo gets sent down.

[Brent Maguire]

This is probably the best roster we could put out. Give Jimenez a full year to see if this improved discipline is for real and Calhoun will most likely be up at some point anyways so giving him full time AB's for now is good. Shuck has hit really well this spring too. Glad to see Conger making the roster too!

[Brent Maguire]

I like Mark Lowe making it too. Another power arm is great for this pen. 

[vlad27]

glad to see Conger make it - long spring is over lets get to the real games!

[Broad Street]

I'm so sad spring training is over.... JUST KIDDING! Let's get the real games started by kicking some Cincinnati Ass!

[rageous]

I am happy for Conger.

[Troll Daddy]

It's official ... Mike Scioscia likes Hank Conger but Hank better get his catching skills up to snuff if he wants to hang around. I've never doubted Scioscia wanting Conger to be successful as a catcher.

[Troll Daddy]

I don't have that much faith in Shuck but I wish him the best. btw Red Sox have released Ryan Sweeney.

[Redondo]

Good for Conger.

 

Now lets start the season off with a win.

[Stradling]

I like Mark Lowe making it too. Another power arm is great for this pen.

Mark Lowe to me is basically Jordan Walden, so in my mind Hanson cost us nothing.
