 Escobar season coming to a close
Escobar season coming to a close
It looks like the season is coming to a close for Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim pitcher Kelvin Escobar. I know its hard to say its coming to a close when it hasn’t even started yet. Escobar has been sidelined due to a shoulder injury. Escobar decided to go the rehab route instead of surgery, and the team was becoming optimistic that he would be able to return ...

Fantasy Baseball Five Questions: AL West
During the offseason it looked like the AL Central could be a serious asset from the fantasy perspective. The Mariners and Angels seemed to have several players poised for big fantasy seasons, but as Screaming Sports' Phil Yoon explains, it's been the Rangers and A's who have stepped it up.

 Is Dream Weaver Back?
Is Dream Weaver Back?
Watching Jered Weaver in his last three outings for Anaheim reminds of me of his college days, when the SoCal kid mowed down the first 10 hitters he faced in a game – not once, but twice during his junior year at Long Beach State. The Angels starter has a 1.45 ERA in those three outings, giving up two runs on six hits over 7 1/3 innings in Friday’s win and tossing six no-hit innings a week ...

 Bill Plaschke Thinks The Dodgers Should Imitate The Angels; I Just Think He's A Moron
Bill Plaschke Thinks The Dodgers Should Imitate The Angels; I Just Think He's A Moron
My soul weeps every time Bill Plaschke writes a Dodger related article. "Dodgers need to play the Angels' brand of ball Scioscia, the former Dodgers catcher, is the model manager who has created an atmosphere of winning." Good start, Bill. You begin by claiming something that is completely immeasurable and subjective. Somehow I bet that if the Angels lose 7 of the next 8, and...

McPherson’s minor resurgence makes him a star
A few years ago Dallas McPherson was at the top of the Anaheim Angels farm system. At 24 years old the left handed hitting third basemen was figured to be a middle of the order hitter for the team for years. Things didn’t work out for McPherson in Anaheim and after spending parts of three years with the big league club and a completely missed 2007 campaign after electing to have back ...

 Should The Dodgers Trade For Juan Rivera?
Should The Dodgers Trade For Juan Rivera?
Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times believes that the answer to the Dodgers' lack of power is riding the pine on the Angels' bench. "As the Dodgers try to add a power hitter without subtracting from their young core, they need not look beyond the visiting dugout today. They'll find Juan Rivera there, at the end of the Angels' bench, buried under the weight of Gary Matthews Jr.'s...
