   By letting Torii Hunter leave and trading Vernon Wells, the Angels created an everyday job for speedy center fielder Bourjos. He's grateful, and way more relaxed.

   Scioscia bunting Mike Trout over with Erick Aybar 1 2 3 4 6

   Granted this is spring training, but something I've feared all along with Erick Aybar in the 2-hole seems to be a thing of reality heading into the season. Since Aybar has returned from the WBC, Scioscia has used Erick Aybar to bunt Mike Trout over THREE TIMES! You don't throw away outs with the likes of Mike Trout and potentially Peter Bourjos on base (who have speed to steal bags). I would rather roll the dice with a stolen base (Especially with Mike Trout who has a high success rate) and have Aybar in an RBI situation, than see Trout at 2B with one out and Pujols & Hamilton coming up. Mike, go for the big inning, you have the hitters to do it. Please do n…

    JUST in case anyone really cares, the New Body Armor "Super Drink" that the best baseball player on the planet is now endorsing, is made of good stuff (for example, pure cane sugar rather than Hi Fructose Corn Syrup and coconut water) but it COULD be better on the taste factor - I got the Orange Mango. I suppose I could have used the shout box for this info BUT whatever...enjoy

    Just got back yesterday from our 11th annual Beers and Baseball trip... Halos and the Buttes! With some Dos Gringos (Tempe and Chandler), Woodshed, and others thrown-in. We rolled into town in time to dump luggage and get to the game on St. Paddys Day by the 2nd inning. We found our host Jay (known as "King" for the size of his personality, as well as physically) and friends hanging-out on the left-field patio. Another friend of ours was still in town for their last game, and he and his wife left their seats to join us. Didn't see much of the game, since we were catching-up and getting our pre-Irish Day-drink on. Dunno bout the rest of you, but St. Patricks D…

    On ESPN.com http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/spring2013/story/_/id/9088208/why-erick-aybar-baseball-most-underrated-player-mlb It's an insider article, sorry I won't post it here, but basically it says that Aybar is the most underrated player in baseball. The writer says that he's a good hitter relative to his peers and good defensively too. Yet because he gets overshadowed by his more famous teammates, and doesn't show up on sportscenter a lot, he gets overlooked. Highlights of the article are the comparison to Jeter, which shows Jeter as a poor fielding shortstop again, good with the bat and a bad baserunner. By Comparison, Aybar is good with the bat, good on …

    Person familiar with the situation says that part of the incentive to send the high-priced outfielder to the Yankees was to help put the Angels under the $178-million luxury tax threshold. — The Angels' trade of Vernon Wells to the New York Yankees, which is expected to be finalized Tuesday, will have financial implications beyond the $13 million or so the Angels will save over the next two years by shipping the veteran outfielder to the Bronx.
