Brad Penny wasn’t supposed to return this early, but the Opening Day rainout took care of that. He was brutal in 2008 for the Dodgers but a Cy contender in 2007. Time to see if he can hold up in the AL and turn our fortunes around.

The bullpen has had to pick up some of the load so far. So hopefully Penny can get some decent innings in. But Brad is still “coming back, so realistically five, maybe six innings is all we should expect.

The Angels do not get on base much, and they haven’t hit for all that much power of late. I am a stat-guy. So I believe that an offense needs to do these things to score enough runs. There is only so much that can happen as a result of “hit and runs” and taking the extra base. Now, taking the extra base is great, and often overlooked–as is baserunning in general. But a team must get on base enough, in order to score enough.
The Abreu acquisition was great. For that amount of money, the team put aside their philosophy of having only players who can play defense, and sacrificed “it” for a little offense. There is no risk in signing Abreu, and he should still hit for average, get on base, and flash enough power to make him a quality all-around player.
