The March 19th, 2014 edition of daily news for the Los Angeles Angels including Scioscia's job security, Hamilton's return to form and much more…
The Story: Mike Scioscia is on the hot seat entering 2014.
The Monkey Says: To a certain extent, yes, but I think Dipoto goes before Scioscia does. After all, Dipoto is on the last year of his contract and Moreno has not yet picked up his 2015 option. That is a pretty strong signal that it is Dipoto who is on the chopping block, not Scioscia, though I suppose it could be both of them.
The Story: Josh Hamilton and Tim Lincecum faced each other as they try to return to form.
The Monkey Says: Except that it is a spring training game and nobody cares.
The Story: The darkhorses to provide unexpected homers this year.
The Monkey Says: This is for fantasy baseball advice, but it was a slow news day and I thought it was funny that Mike Trout could be a darkhorse at anything.
The Story: Is R.J. Alvarez the next K-Rod?
The Monkey Says: Let's not get in front of ourselves. Alvarez has never projected to have that same kind of talent. He could be similar in that he might make an impact as a late season call-up, but that is a stretch as well.
