Schanuel one of many halo players not having a good spring. I wonder if it might be better if he starts season in minors. He has been given 1B job but like others have Angels rushed him too soon?

He just needs to get off his feet.

Still think it's best to have him in the majors.  If he's not the starting 1B, then who from the current roster is?  Anyone who moves into that spot (Drury, etc.) just creates a big lack of depth elsewhere.  I can't imagine they're going to make Sano the starting 1B.  Let Schanuel take it from the start (assuming he's healthy) and worry about it a month from now if he's struggling.

That’s why I wanted them to snag JD Davis. It made way too much sense to have insurance at 1st and 3rd and also a good bat. 
 

oh well

looks like Sano makes the team lol

Yeah, I don't disagree with you there, but I'm just talking about the current state of things and the options they have--which aren't many!

I hope he works out but if not very little depth. Brandon Belt still out there. I'm just thinking he might need more time in minors.

Our last ROY struggled in spring training.

GO ANGELS!!!

Brew up a late-winter Angels victory!!!

Sano walks and that was all of the first inning offense. 

[Blarg]

Notable was Rengifo going from 0-2 to 3-2. He was too patient on strike three which was borderline outside. 

[Lhalo]

Canning looks like ass this inning.

[jsnpritchett]

Chourio with a laser from RF to keep Moniak at 3rd.  Wow.

Ya that throw was right on target.

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[PattyD22]

Angels with another runner at 3rd with less than 2 outs.

Lets see if they can drive someone in

Answer is yes.  Soto with the squeeze

[Slegnaac]

That was a clutch bunt by Soto.

[Slegnaac]

nice catch by Moniak 

[jsnpritchett]

Trent Rush just now on Adames' HR: "if it stays fair, it has a chance."  It landed about 30 feet beyond the wall.  Yeah, I'd say that's a "chance."

He was channeling his inner Patrick O’Neal.

Joyce being Joyce this inning, I see: two four-pitch walks, one Ks.  Two stolen bases given up, too.  I wonder if that'll be a strategy all teams employ against him: just run wild, since he's so inconsistent pitch-to-pitch.
