"We are optimistic for the 2017 season, due to what Billy Eppler, his staff and ownership accomplished during the offseason," said Carpino. "We have added flexible depth to our pitching staff and pitchers who can provide value as both starters and relievers. At the same time, we have added experience, depth and balance to our position player group.

"Our baseball operations program has been advanced with investments in the areas of player performance, medical and strength-and-conditioning efforts. We liked the team chemistry last season and believe Billy and his staff have brought in some additional 'character' players that will only enhance what was evident in 2016."

Next, Carpino touted the upgrades fans will notice at the ballpark.

"The fan experience continues to be one of our top priorities year to year," he said. "This season, Angels fans will enjoy upgraded LED technology on the field and in the ballpark. We have worked closely with our concessions and merchandise partners at Legends to invest in concession stands for a better dining and shopping experience, along with additional food options at the stadium. The organization has also entered into a new long-term agreement with Coca-Cola, a partnership that will provide a variety of new options for fans.

"The fans are excited about this year's team and our season-seat base is approximately 20 percent ahead of 2016, and we believe we will reach the 3 million mark in home attendance for the 15th consecutive season, which is a real salute to our loyal fanbase."

Any way they can put in an HD scoreboard? The thing they have now is pretty awful and dated.  Time to get with the times.
