Im calling it early but barring any further injuries, it looks like TA and Scott Kingery will get the 2 open positional spots on the OD 26 man roster . TA should also get the starting nod at Short until Neto returns. I also see Rengifo starting at second base unless he cant get ready after his long illness. Despite Kyren Paris’ eye opening spring I think the Angels would prefer that he get alot AB’s at AAA then sit on the bench iat the Major League level Now I could be wrong as Kingery has an option left but the way they are moving him around the diamond tells me he’ll get the super utility role in Anaheim.
TA is not on the 40 man roster but I dont believe anyone will need to be jettisoned as the Angels in all likelihood will just have to move Sam Bustman to the 60 day IL to open up a spot.
JD hasn’t gotten many opportunities this spring and has not done much with them when he has.he has hit 6 games so far . Right now he’s 1 for 11 with 7 strikeouts . Not a great start for him if you are battling for a bench spot out of ST
If the Angel coaches really think TA;s bat is back I think he’d start over Newman even tough I really liked the Newman signing.
The scouting report said he could be in an MLB bullpen later that season if a team really wanted to push it. We still had the unicorn for another 2 seasons and Perry wanted to make sure that pick helped Ohtani in some way.
It was a very short sighted thought process and it predictably bit them right in the ass.
I’m looking now at the 2020 draft where we drafted Detmers at #10. Crochet was pick #11 but outside of Crochet….well, Torkelson was #1. He’s got a career -0.3 WAR, a 94 OPS+. It’s risky stuff.
S Anderson’s achilles heel is definitely the long ball.
Come on Wash. Time to move it on up and bring that Yeferson kid in.

I agree. Bustman. Lol
You must have Newman starting at SS. He will make the club and well as Kingery.
I’m not sure about TA, and I won’t write off JD (need back up corner IF)

Looks that way right now. Let’s see who keeps getting playing time as the starters play more.
Bachman’s hurt? Must have forgot. I also forgot Anderson exists, but there he was pitching….
I never could never understand that Minasian pick, a guy with a relief pitcher and injury profile as an early first rounder.
emphasis on “early”

The first round as a whole that year has yet to produce much, which makes it a little easier to swallow.

Love the approach by C Mo there. Not pretty ,but was trying to stay back and punch it to RF.
More PFP drills for Fermin…
My first peek at spring ball. Go Halos!
Those Moore and Adell at bats: not good.
Robbie Ray looking good though . He may finally be all the way back form TJS
why’d Sori come out so early?
I see that nickname and think of how Trebek pronounced the word Sorry.
I’m too lazy to add ano
“Sori, turn on the lights and play Third Eye Blind please….”

Thanks for posting that. I am wiping the tears out of my eyes from laughing so hard.
He’ll come back in the 2nd……he went into timeout.
I forgot they can do that

Sori having problems closing the deal today after 2 strikes
Schoft contact Schanuel
Schanuel Succinctly Soft 2 Second.
Even though it ended meekly That was actually a great at bat for him against a lefty
The meek shall inherit the two hopper out…..
That deep oppo foul ball was not Schoft.
Yeah. Just taking the piss. His exit velo definitely seems better this spring.
