For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the Los Angeles Angels.
Los Angeles Angels outfielder, Josh Hamilton, is in the spotlight today after news emerged of a possible relapse:
“He was most recently suspended from baseball from 2004-2006 for cited alcohol and cocaine abuse. It is now thought that the player has had a relapse.
John Heyman of CBSSports.com reports a source saying Hamilton had a meeting with MLB officials yesterday and he confessed to going on a “binge” that involved the use of cocaine a couple of months ago. But as of yet, there is no indication of a failed drug test.
The offense would be the first in the majors as the previous suspension occurred while in the minor leagues. So there is a possibility it could be treated as a first time offense.”

Will Taylor Featherston Stick With The Angels? Bobby DeMuro discusses:
“They acquired Josh Rutledge in a winter trade, and he’s the presumptive starter at second ahead of some other less-than-inspiring options, especially when compared to the departing Kendrick. But one man that remains a mystery is Taylor Featherston, a middle infield prospect the Angels nabbed in the Rule 5 draft from the Rockies.
For those unfamiliar, a quick Rule 5 primer: players drafted in the Major League portion of the Rule 5 Draft, which happens every December, must stay on the active 25-man Major League roster the entire next season, or else they must be offered back to their original team.”
