We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the Los Angeles Angels.
While Spring Training is in full swing and Opening Day is just a few weeks away, now is the perfect time to profile possible breakout and regression candidates for the Angels in 2015:
“Breakout
David Freese. After several successful years in St. Louis, Freese came back down to earth a bit last year in Anaheim. He hit .260/.321/.383 in 511 plate appearances for the Angels, recording just 10 home runs and 55 RBIs across 134 games. Injuries have been a concern for Freese, who has spent time on the disabled list four times in his six big league seasons.
Nevertheless, he’s a career .280/.348/.417 hitter with a 112 OPS+, and considering he’s a free agent after the season, a rebound isn’t out of the question for 2015. With the Angels focused on Josh Rutledge, Taylor Featherston, Kyle Kubitza and others to helm the infield in 2016 and beyond, this year is Freese’s opportunity to showcase he still has something in the tank and earn a contract elsewhere once he becomes a free agent this winter.”

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim exploded offensively and were dominant on the mound, beating the Colorado Rockies 11-0 on Tuesday afternoon:
“Mike Trout hit two home runs and had 6 RBIs as the Angels dominated the Rockies in every facet of the game in Cactus League action at Salt River Fields and Talking Stick in Scottsdale.
Both clubs started the game with what could very well be their Opening Day lineups, but neither team had much luck early on this St. Patrick’s Day against Drew Rucinski, starting for the Angels in place of C.J. Wilson, and Chad Bettis, starting for the Rockies.
The Angels pushed across the first run of the game in the top of the third off reliever David Hale, when Trout drove in Collin Cowgill on a ground out.”
