Somewhere, @Angels 1961 is softly crying as he sips warm milk as the realization that Phillips is the 4th outfielder settles in...

[rafibomb]

This is the right and obvious choice. I don't get how keeping Moniak glued to the bench as 4th outfielder was even an option.

[Pancake Bear]

Phillips was always likely to make the team. Had nothing to do with his hitting. Too many Twitter GM's can't grasp what components are needed to make a good team.

O’Hoppe is still in the running for the roster and Canning wasn’t optioned.

We all know that Philips is not the 4th OF. He is a PR and DR. Walsh or Rengifo are the extra OF.

Maybe they keep Lamb and let DFA Philips.

Nevin has an edginess about him that the Angels will benefit from.  Like they did last season.

Phillips will likely start a small share of games and be a late inning defensive replacement more often.  Walsh may be out there against RHPs occasionally.  I infer that some of the off-season acquisitions were so that they don't have to run Rengifo out there any longer.

If 0ne of regular Of goes on IR will Phillips play those games? No they will call up their 4th OF Moniak.

You don't seem to know what a 4th OF is.

They went 46-60 with Nevin as manager.

Edge: Lowell

To sit on the bench while Phillips plays.

Yeah… Nevin is out of his depth (IMHO)…

Outside of AW, Angels1961 is known as Don Quixote, described best in The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha or, in Spanish, El ingenioso hidalgo don Quixote^[b]de la Mancha (changing in Part 2 to El ingenioso caballero don Quixote^[b] de La Mancha.

agreed. definitely wouldn't want the one true thing he's actually elite at to be utilized at all.

i disagree. i think he's going to show himself quite well. he'll benefit from having a better roster than his predecessors, but he handled the bullpen well in his first opportunity and he seems to have the clubhouse in a tangible way. i think nevin seems to be better than expected.

We’ll find out how well he does with this bullpen group.  If the bullpen is average or better this will be a very good team.

Bullpen is the key I wonder who will open season as closer. Herget finished last year as closer, and I hope he gets a shot.

With many minor league players on roster. I like Nevin.
