Dipoto said the other Angels pitchers who are coming off surgery are all doing well, including Ryan Madson, who underwent Tommy John surgery last April. Madson threw off the mound for the first time on Monday, and he is scheduled to do so again on Friday. He’ll continue throwing twice a week until spring training begins.

| Also in that article, C.J. and Burnett are also on track to be 100% for the start of camp after having bone chips removed.
Minor league invitee Tony Pena won't be ready when camp begins though. |

I hope he has one. |

Depends on what schedule you compare his progress to, the slow one or the fast one. |

Ryan Madson is throwing off mound but is not scheduled to pitch in exhibition games until mid-March. Might not open season with #Angels.
If Madson doesn't open season with #Angels, GM Jerry Dipoto said he would probably be ready by second week of regular season.

That said, knowing the Angels, he will be out until June. |

"First setback of spring for #Angels: Closer Ryan Madson had soreness after last pen session on Feb. 1 and hasn't thrown in 10 days."
"Madson considers setback normal in recovery from TJ surgery but admitted being "disappointed." Very doubtful he will be ready opener"
Alden Gonzalez:
"Madson believes it's just normal muscle soreness and is still targeting April 1. But not sure when he can throw again. "It's day to day."

| goods news though is that Frieri is more than capable of handling closer duties until Madson is ready. |

Hopefully we see the version of Kevin Jepsen we got from August - Sept of last year. He was easily the best RP on the staff during that timespan.
I'm thinking we may go w/ 11 pitchers to start, then bump that up to 12 and move one of the bench players to the minors when Madson is ready.
starters + Frieri, Jepsen, Downs, Burnett, Williams,
then slot Madson later. |

| If Madson isn't ready to go until June, it should be no big deal. T.J. seems like a 2 year recovery for most guys anyhow. Frieri has potential for a Romo type season with the experience and confidence he gained last season. I have faith in Dipoto's vision of Vargas and Blanton being solid, inning eating, replacements for Mental Case Chinstrap, and Half Season Haren. The first real AL offense this team has had since Glaus, Salmon, and GA... IS going to put up a lot of crooked number, double-digit run games, as long as bunt for a run Scioscia can adjust to it, sit his ample butt down on the bench, and stay the hell out of their way. Personally, I would like to see Williams in the pen, with Richards as 5th starter. Williams, Downs, Jepsen, Burnettt, and Frieri should be able to handle the pen workload until Madson is ready to set up at first, and then maybe share 9th inning non-closing (ahead by more than 3) duties later in the season. Of course injuries, or the questionable competence of Butcher, could blow that all to bits, but on paper, to start the season.... wow. That scenario looks pretty promising. Beane, Theo, Cashman, et al., step aside. The "Dipoto Decade" is about to devastate your shores like a Japanese tsunami. Edited to try and put this into paragraphs....

I think you're forgetting about Tommy Hanson. Barring injury, neither Williams or Richards should be in the rotation to start the year, with Williams most likely being the long guy in the pen and Richards staying in AAA ready to be called up when necessary. |

Weaver Cj Vargas Blanton You're right....Even though I was looking at the 40 man roster, and saw his name, I was forgetting him. He could actually be the under the radar pick up of the year. I love Jerry Dipoto.

| Pen and rotation still question marks at this point. This team needs a healthy and productive Madson. Sean Burnett alone isn't gonna change much. At this point, it would be surprising if Madson doesn't start the season on the DL.

I have been arguing that the last two months. We still really need another good pen arm. |

Texas has a team that could beat us more than we beat them. They also have a team that could win the division bumping us to the WC or even out of the playoffs. We've missed the playoffs 3 years running now. Let's make one before we get our heads too big. That's all I'm saying. |

After last season, I'll never get to high about an offseason again. Scioscia needs to prove he's still capable of taking a team to the playoffs before I get super over-confident
