I don't think so.  They need someone who can platoon with Kole.  Parker is LHed and doesn't hit lefties well.  He's probably the first option if Calhoun goes down with an injury or doesn't perform.  On top of that, he's not really an option to give Trout some DH days in CF.  

Herm is hurt which will move the team to start him at AAA so it's really just Bourjos as the option.  

If Bourjos has to start in place of Kole, do you think they'll put Bourjos in RF and leave Trout in center?

 

that would be something.

They're giving Walsh a solid look.   I wonder if they expect Bour to be out longer than originally planned.

Yes.  I think that will be the case.  And I think we'll see a fair amount of that vs. lefties.

New benefit this year for season ticket holders is free access to MLB TV.  I'm watching the game on my lunch today...

Trout lead off with an infield single...

[Make Angels Great Again]

Albert with the warning track power.

[T.G.]

Parker with an RBI double...

Go ANGELS!!! 

The Big Guy in at DH today. Hope he doesn't stub a toe.

Is :LeBron the New Albert??

[T.G.]

Looks like Eppler is sitting behind home late today.

[eligrba4ever]

The weather at the game looks like baseball weather. It has been steadily snowing for outside my front window for the past 4 hours.

Jared Walsh better get some significant playing time. Dude is pretty good.

[CanadianHalo]

Tuned in just in time to see Albert dribble one to short.

He can sit the rest of spring, he’s ready to go!

In all seriousness though, he looked awful in doing so. I get that no one is just going to walk away from 90 mill or whatever we owe him but he’s truly an embarrassment to the game at this point.

But he's hitting .400 to Trout's .250

Parker has been making some noise already this spring.  Be interesting to see if he can stay hot and force his way into the conversation.

[krAbs]

Bourjos looking good so far this spring, with a HR just now. He could make for some solid OF depth while some of our prospects develop.

[eligrba4ever]

Is Skye Bolt a Marvel character? 

What's his special baseball power?

[AngelsLakersFan]

Great play by Baldoquin there... you don't see a short stop fall on their ass like that too often.

[krAbs]

Baldoquin in a nutshell: he fell backwards onto his ass trying to catch a ball bouncing towards him. The ball bounced over him and went into the outfield.

[eligrba4ever]

Oh my. 

Baldo. Heh heh heh.

[Biergott]

Please tell me someone has video of that.  I want to see it!

[AngelsLakersFan]

If someone does have footage they should tweet it to Dipoto.

"Jerry! Jerry!"

[Troll Daddy]

Bridwell wtf

[AngelsLakersFan]

Watching Marsh this spring I am considerably more hyped about him than I was before. Dude looks like the whole package.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Also Baldaquin just hit a little league homer and he looks all pissed off in the dugout... like he must walk around knowing he sucks at all times.
