Will Mickey Moniak win the fourth outfielder job? Who will be the sixth starter? Who will be the shortstop? What kind of trades could the Angels make if they’re in the race, or if they’re not?
TEMPE, Ariz. — The Angels finally hit the first off day in their spring training schedule on Wednesday, just more than two weeks away from Opening Day.
That leaves us with a whole bunch of uncertainty, evident by the questions that readers asked this week onQ: With Moniak showing up this spring, what will the Angels do with their outfield? Doesn’t make sense to keep Adell around any longer, does it? — Sean NelsonMoniak was expected to start the season at Triple-A, with Brett Phillips as the fourth outfielder, but. He has shown the best combination of offense and defense among the three candidates for that job: Moniak, Phillips and Adell.
If Davidson is the sixth starter, that would give the Angels a rotation with five lefties and one righty. Another righty would be nice, but the Angels are not going to prioritize that over who they believe is pitching the best. The best defensive shortstop is Andrew Velazquez, but he might not even be on the team unless someone gets hurt or the Angels keep seven infielders.
Q: Presuming they do well in the first half, who could you envision being a good add via trade? Pure speculation, obviously we won’t know who’s available til later — @DrScottFreemanAs you suggest, this is a tough one, primarily because we don’t know which teams will be selling. There are only six or seven teams in all of baseball that seem like safe bets to be out of the race at the trade deadline.
