Did he go see Colon's nutritionist?

From an old BA Handbook of mine on Ian Stewart who was ranked #1 over Tulo! 
 

 

 

 

 

I talked to an Angels exec recently and he said to expect a better showing this season from Ian Stewart.
 
I then heard Rojas mention on the air today that Stewart worked out with Rod Carew in the offseason on his swing. They worked out quite a bit from what I was told. 
 
1. Stewart had a better spring than Freese. Stewart batted .298/.370/.511 with three homers and six RBI over 47 spring at-bats.
 
2. His balance at the plate looks a lot like Josh Hamilton. Has much more raw power than Freese. 
 
3. Ian is known to be a better 3B defensively. 
 
4. Stewart was a top prospect, top draft pick, so he has the pedigree Freese doesn't have. 
 
5. Stewart is hungry after struggling with the Rockies, then cut by two teams. 
 
I know it's a small sample size to look at stats, but Stewart's at bats in ST and early on have looked a lot better than Freese. David Freese has looked awful chasing high fastballs and offering at sliders low and away. 
 
Which of the two would you like to start or would you go for a straight platoon with Stewart starting against righties and Freese against lefties?

No face palm necessary for this game

4 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 K
 
Matter of fact, Halos didn't allow a single walk at all tonight. That's what you like to see
 

Yay we won.

Enough with Salas already we want to keep the game close. DDLR is back so use him damn it.

Salas warming up? Please no, just no

JB should be batting behind Pujols. HAHA

We have experience in these types of signings

Hit a grand slam tonight. Opportunity may be knocking soon if he keeps this up and the offense needs some added punch

Batting .321 along with 5 doubles as well. He needs to crush the PCL.

RJ Alvarez and Mike Morin each pitched scoreless innings tonight.
 
RJ Alvarez gave up no hits, walking 1 and striking out 2.
Morin followed by pitching a perfect 8th while striking out the side.

Cal Towey has reached base all 7 times so far this season. He is 5-6 with a walk while reaching once on an error. He just smoked an RBI double off Taijuan Walker.

Salt Lake, Arkansas, IE & Burlington all got the W's today. 

Cowart just homered. Having a HUGE day. Four for five with two singles, a double, a home run, 5 rbi's and a walk.

Seattle has won 8 straight opening-day games, while Oakland has lost ten in a row.
 
Who's been the better team over the past decade?
 
Let's win tonight and put last night's ugliness behind us. 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Bo also thinks a reliever's role includes coming in to relieve another pitcher and then leaving the game without throwing a pitch because the other manager sends up a pinch hitter.
