Sano doesn’t look any better, or worse, than Rendon, or Trout, for that matter.  He does look in very good physical condition.  If it was up to me, I’d keep him up to the last cut, giving him as many at-bats as possible.

Schanuel can hit.

Correct. No one year deals or opt outs after one year that have draft pick compensation. 

I can’t say that I agree with stretching out Wantz and now Soriano as SP depth, especially with other options out there.  If we need another SP, we should just sign one of Bauer, Clevenger, or make a deal toward the end of ST for another option.  The bullpen could be a strength of this team with Soriano down there.  

The 2 pitchers won’t get that much, IMO.  Camps are already open, and with every day they’re out, they’re falling behind.

I'd offer Bauer the ML minimum deal that he said he'd accept, and offer Bellinger a 5 or 6 year deal.  
I really think we haven't done anything to replace Ohtani's impact on our offense.  

This happens any time a star player files for FA in baseball.  It was just magnified because of what Ohtani was doing while he was here.  
Now that he isn't here, that focus will go to Ohtani's new team, in this case it is the guys across town.   
For the Angels, it will provide a return to normalcy, and a chance for other players to shine, especially the younger guys, like Schaunel, Neto, and O'hoppe.  
With full season contributions from those guys, and a return to health from others, specifically Rendon and Trout, I think we'll see a good team out there.
