I mean, is anyone at this point, other than the fact that he throws really hard?  Definitely needs to find some consistency before he's ready for the majors.

Plus depth in BP by Minasian signings.

Spring stats and all...but this seems really impressive to me. Especially because a lot of these guys tend to have issues with walks.

• Estevez: 6 IP, 4.50 ERA, 5 hits, 0 walks, 4 strikeouts, 1 HR
• Moore: 6.1 IP, 1.42 ERA, 1 hit, 4 walks, 7 strikeouts, 0 HR
• Garcia: 4.1 IP, 8.31 ERA,6 hits, 0 walks, 3 strikeouts, 0 HR
• Cimber: 7 IP, 0.00 ERA, 1 hit, 1 walks, 6 strikeouts, 0 HR
• Pomeranz: 8 IP, 5.63 ERA, 8 hits, 3 walks, 6 strikeouts, 0 HR
• Cisnero: 6.2 IP, 1.35 ERA, 3 hits, 0 walks, 6 strikeouts, 0 HR
• Strickland: 10 IP, 2.70 ERA, 8 hits, 0 walks, 14 strikeouts, 2 HR
• Zuniga: 8 IP, 6.75 ERA, 11 hits, 0 walks, 11 strikeouts, 0 RH
• Suarez: 12 IP, 5.25 ERA, 12 hits, 1 walk, 11 strikeouts, 1 HR

Also not many HR, but real small sample (especially for relievers in ST) and this is without some of the guys we expected to be the core of the pen (Stephenson, Joyce, Soriano) going into spring.

Looked up Soriano and just as good there after today, 14.1 IP, 4.40 ERA, 15 hits, 3 walks, 19 strikeouts, 1 HR.

Between Pomeranz, Strickland and Zuniga 2 make it.

I really hope Sano makes the team. Would really like to have some pop off the bench and a guy who can slot in at DH and 1B/3B at times. 

[Angels 1961]

Yeah I like Sano could turn out to be nice comeback story.

I'll be down there to watch him pitch and get an interview with him. 

Hope to see Rada there at some point this season too.

Loving what Wash is bringing, physically and mentally

A true teacher on and off the field 

I love the more aggressive baserunning, great way to disrupt the defense while taking advantage of the 2 pickoff moves per batter limit.

Hopefully seeing a total change on the field from the past 8 seasons, win or lose

Heck we already seen a diffrence last night we hit a homerun with people on base for a change how many solo meaningless HR did we hit last year. Alot hope to see much more of it

he should give nolan ryan a call and pick his brain about how nolan figured out his control problems.
