The Angels enter their third season under the knucklebones management with hopes to once again improve on their record while waiting for Charlie Stone to arrive at the ML level. With a maxed international budget, we hope to also add an impact pitcher or position player in adddition to this years amateur crop. With our sights set on season 8 for the playoffs, a .500 season looks reachable.
Catcher - Reggie Kreuter,R.J. Izquierdo
Krueter will play as much as his durability lets him with Izquierdo backing up.
1st Base - Spud Hoyt will return for his junior season with an eye on 2b in season 8.
2nd Base - Tito Magee The vet looks to repeat a solid first full season as an Angel.
3rd Base - Taylor Trammell Power hitting Trammmel was a big offseason acquisition.
SS - Eddie Lowry Season 6 rule 5, will start this season with longtime Red Davey Rodriguez getting some ABs against lefties.
LF - Clay Buchanan A contract year for the All Time Angel HR king. Both he and long time Angel Lee Crane hope to pad their various Angel team records.
CF - Nick Brantley The Angels hope for a marked improvement from Brantley this season.
RF - Dale Hume He's a former rule 5 pick of the Reds and potential superstar for the Angels. The Angels are expecting big things out of Hume.

Utility Man - Tony Kim is an excellent utility man and soon to be starting LF.
