Farewell, Edward Woodward. Hello Whicker, man. For now the Angels have Matsui, a perfectly fine DH who probably will outperform the 2009 Vladimir Guerrero, if he holds up physically. Lumbering around in left field, as both Matsui and Scioscia were speculating, might be pushing it. The leadoff man, Scioscia repeated, will be either Aybar or Maicer Izturis and not Abreu. The lineup again will be organic, and will shift according to who’s...  

Expected to replace Vladimir Guerrero as Angels' chief designated hitter  

Angels reliever Jose Arredondo will undergo Tommy John surgery and is expected to miss the 2010 season, the team confirmed to ESPN The Magazine on Friday.

Chone Figgins is moving up the coast in the AL West. The Mariners and the third baseman have a preliminary agreement on a $36 million, four-year contract, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press last night. Figgins, a catalyst atop the Los Angeles Angels’ lineup, will replace Adrian Beltre , a two-time Gold Glove third baseman ...  

The walk-off error. A fielder's nightmare. One minute the game is tense as can be and in the next the ball is thrown away or through the legs of the fielder to end the game. On Saturday, Maicer Izturis had the misfortune of making a walk-off error in a crucial playoff game, putting his Angels in an 0-2 hole. If the Angels lose the series, and despite their victory on Monday it's a likely scenario, that play will likely be looked back upon...

Alex Rodriguez hit a two-run homer, CC Sabathia held the Los Angeles Angels in check while pitching on short rest and the New York Yankees built a 5-1 lead through six innings Tuesday night in Game 4 of the AL championship series.  

Whoa! By the looks of this...Sgt. Saunders had a better chance of surviving a tour of the Sikorsky Museum. The Angels will counter with Joe Saunders, who made the 2008 All-Star Game and is second in the American League in wins to Roy Halladay over the past two seasons. Sounds like a good matchup, right? Not so much. Quantitatively savvy baseball fans are well aware that the win is a flawed statistic, but few hurlers demonstrate its...  

Busted umbrella be damned! Robothal moves on. I asked three scouts Sunday about Vladimir Guerrero, and it sure did not sound like they were talking about a cleanup hitter. “Late on fastballs,” said the first. “An out,” said the second. “Done,” said the third. Then I asked Angels manager Mike Scioscia if he planned to drop Guerrero from the cleanup spot for Game 3 of the American League Championship Series. Scioscia answered no...  

Boston - The veteran right-handed starting pitcher, one of the prime free agents available, is one of the Los Angeles Angels' biggest stars. He was in Boston today for a physical exam.  

Mike Scioscia opted for faith over desperation. He avoided the temptation to rush John Lackey onto the mound on just two days rest and stuck with Joe Saunders. He let Chone Figgins and his .065 batting average remain in the leadoff spot.  

INDIANAPOLIS - The Phillies selected righthander Kenneth David Herndon from the Los Angeles Angels with the 26th selection in yesterday's Rule 5 draft.  

Two decisions by Scioscia not the focus thanks to win over Yankees in Game 5
