Second Base

Relievers are unpredictable. But if the relievers pitched as predicted, the Angels would have possibly the strongest bullpen in the league.

Here's my detailed scouting report on Sano: 
Big man, big swing, big miss, hit ball far. 

BP swing. Hands drifting, head isn't still. That's not his actual swing. It's becoming more and more common too. You watch guys like Vera and Denzer Guzman before their signings became official. Compare their swings then and now. Videos of BP sessions are becoming more ridiculous and less useful every year.

I'm a big fan of Stephenson. When he was a prospect he was pure rocket fuel and vinegar. He fought like a bulldog and threw three solid pitches. He really had a shot at starting, but looking back, that dog in him made him perfect for bullpen work. His stuff is equally as impressive now, if not more so. It was gonna click for him eventually and now it has. 
I think he's going to be one of the better relievers in baseball, and if the Angels are in it, they could trade him, hopefully for a better package than they got for Raisel Iglesias. 

Outstanding signing. I'm a big fan.

That guy died a while back if I'm not mistaken. I remember years ago, like 2009 he said he wanted to pay me per article written but I never followed up with him.

The Angels bullpen may end up being legit this season. Stephenson, Estevez, Soriano, Joyce, Bachman....
Wish they would've kept Reynaldo Lopez though.

Bunch of idiots, can't believe they signed the second best reliever on the market with a top 5 K% and 3rd lowest WHIP of any qualified reliever for 50% less than Hader. Thanks for nothing Arte.

Depends on your philosophy, maturity, development and skill. The Padres put Ethan Salas in AA at age 17. Back in the day, Trout and Harper were both in the majors at 19. 

Well he did want "it", but the "it" wasn't success at baseball. The "it" that he wanted, he got when he turned 16.
