--CF Darin Erstad missed his second straight game with a sore left ankle. Manager Mike Scioscia indicated Erstad would be out a few days, but the injury wasn't expected to be long term. Erstad missed eight days in spring training due to a problem with the same ankle.

--2B Howie Kendrick has been working out at first and third base as the Angels explore ways of getting his bat in the lineup. Kendrick, who played second exclusively in the minor leagues, played shortstop in high school but has never played first or third.

--After RHP Chris Bootcheck gave up four runs in the ninth inning during a mop-up role Tuesday, his ERA was 54.00.

---C Jeff Mathis' average has fallen to .103. He shares the position with Jose Molina, who is also hitting below .200.

--There are 10 active major league players who have played at least 15 consecutive years with their original team, and the Angels have two of them. Tim Salmon joined the Angels in 1989 and Garret Anderson in 1990. The leader is Bernie Williams, who joined the Yankees in 1986.

BY THE NUMBERS
9 -- Number of baserunners catcher Jose Molina had picked off since the start of the 2004 season (through April 28).

QUOTE TO NOTE
"I deserve to get booed. I got my butt kicked." -- RHP Jeff Weaver after giving up eight runs in 2 1/3 innings to the White Sox.

2.  Trade Jered Weaver and Gary Matthews Jr. to the Doyers for Matt Kemp and

The Angels announced that Steve Physioc and Rex Hudler would not be returning to the Angels' broadcast booth next season. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I've never been a fan of Physioc, he just comes off as too corny and "aw shucks" for my taste. But Hudler has always been entertaining, even while repeatedly talking himself ...(more)

The Angels should do everything they can to keep Lackey, and yes if that means paying him $18 million a year for 5 years then do it.  My reasons are simple, for one show some loyalty to a guy who has done nothing but get better each year he has been with us. Two, Lackey is a clutch big game big situation pitcher. Three, Lackey has a ba ...(more)

what do you think if we just stuck with what we have in the pitching dept. and picked up Justin duchscherer as a 5th starter...
he wouldnt demand alot of money! he is a low risk high reward kinda guy to me...

There have been specualating rumor that the Angels are about to make a trade.  Not just one trade but several.  One of them might be B Wood, E Santana, G Matthews Jr and pitching prospect J Walden to Toronto for R Halladay.   Even though they hate to give up E Santana that is who Toronto wanted, a starter to replace Hall ...(more)

Hello Angel fans.   I have a friend that lives in Chicago and he just told me that the Angels and Cubs are in trade talks.  Since the ANGELS are going to loose C Figgins to free agency and want another outfielder  just in case of injury, they are thowing ...(more)

MLBTRADERUMORS just reported that granderson has become a possibilty for a trade... I think the Angels showed look very closely into this... they could eat GMJ contract and replace him with granderson ... This would allow figgy to walk and wood to play third full time...
this gives us a 5 tool lead off hitter and moves juan rivera to

I'm glad they signed Abreu. Now we need to re-sign John Lackey. I do not care what the cost is, Keep in mind that John Lackey has been our bull dog since 2002. He is a clutch pitcher and we need to show him some loyalty. Boras is not his agent, so I think if they brought him in expressed how much he means to us and get a deal don ...(more)

Fuentes & Shields set up & give the halos many options w/ their versatile arms...
