Matthew Berry joins Jeff Erickson discussing Los Angeles Angels

Matthew notes Angels pitching coach is a 'genius,' who had 3 guys in top 10 in ERA in the American League! This year, Jared Weaver may come to camp. Pitching lineup is still tremendous: Colon, Escobar, Lackey, Santana, & Hector Corrosco. Matt likes trade for bullpen lefty JC Romero. Both Jeff & Matt like Scott Shields, in real life & fantasy. One minor league jewel, Brandon Wood, has been compared to Pujols & Vlad. At catcher, Jeff Mathis & Jose Molina will tandem. If Erstad remains at 1st, Kotchman ∨ McPherson would DH or Kotchman could play 1st. Erstad is loved for his speed & leadership, but not for bat or OBP. Chone Figgins will be CF, now that Finley's gone; Edgardo Alfonzo will be utility. Questions about Garrett Anderson, but say he was much more hurt last year than they let on. On the Angels farm system, Jeff says Eddie Vane does a great job managing there. Jeff says the team's hitting would improve if they moved Erstad off 1st base. Matt Berry is from Rotopass.com.
