The March 12th, 2015 edition of Los Angeles Angels news including Will Ferrell to play for Angels, Wilson scratched from start and much more…
The Story: Will Ferrell will play for the Angels and nine other teams today.
The Monkey Says: He’s filming it for a Funny or Die video intended to raise money to fight cancer. I don’t know what position Ferrell will play for the Halos, but he should lobby to play second base since he has just as good a shot at winning the starting job as anyone else.
The Story: C.J. Wilson will miss his scheduled start today after tweaking his knee.
The Monkey Says: He is fine, but they are playing it safe. Still, C.J. reserves the right to use this allegedly inconsequential knee injury as an excuse when he has a bad start April.
The Story: Josh Hamilton took batting practice as he progresses in his injury rehab.
The Monkey Says: This isn’t the Hamilton news update you were waiting for.
The Story: Taylor Featherston has a good shot at winning the utilityman role.
The Monkey Says: The team says nice things about everyone this time of year, but this sure reads like the Halos have all but decided Featherston will get the bench job, if only so they don’t lose him on waivers.
The Story: The Angels aren’t interested in Jake Locker should he decide to play baseball.
The Monkey Says: Dipoto didn’t draft him, so he doesn’t have any affinity for him. He also seems to have a general disdain for guys who don’t have an obvious passion for baseball.
The Story: Huston Street is still pushing for a contract extension, but talks have not progressed past informal discussions.
The Monkey Says: It is almost as if the Angels aren’t as interested in giving him more money as Street is.
The Story: Understanding Josh Hamilton’s substance abuse problem.
The Monkey Says: This isn’t just another baseball honk talking, this one comes from an actual psychologist. I’m sure you won’t be surprised to learn that it favors a course of action that focuses more on helping Josh with his problem than punishing him for a relapse.
