Wow, where do I start? Haven't been around much since I've been in ST and busy with my other site (See below) and I am crunched for time as it's the first day back at work, but here goes:

1.) Took over 1000 high quality pictures with an additional 500-600 more pictures from others that helped out. I'd say 700-800 of them are off the charts, action and still shots of all the players, including the entire Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers and some of the Cubs\A's.

2.) Got to meet with Tim Mead and Tony Reagins over the weekend, great guys! Tim let me and a few buddies in early to watch the Angels take BP about 3 hours before game time.

3.) Acquired a Media pass for the Minor League affiliates for future player interviews, player profiling and quality pictures.

4.) Interviewed in Tony Reagins office the following players: Kevin Jepsen, Sean Rodriguez, Baltazar Lopez, Mark Trumbo, Brandon Wood and Warner Magdrigal. Awesome experience, fantastic guys! Especially S-Rod, my new favorite! Can't wait to share these interviews with you at a later time, they will be on either AngelsWin.com or RotoAmerica.com!

5.) Impressions of our Angels in camp. Kotchman is ready, he bulked up a bit and he's on everything. Love how he'll lash line drives into LF when its on the outter half. Colon looks like the 2002-2003 Colon. He was smoking the ball in the zone and his slider\change looked a lot better than last years!

Finley and Anderson looked in tip top shape and ready to go! Our OF is sick!!

Cabrera and Izturis are flashy with the glove! Looking good! DaVanon should be our DH against righties and Rivera against lefties! I like Jeff in the 2 spot!

Morales will NOT be in camp today, at best he'll sign papers TODAY and won't be in camp till later this week.

Prospects looking good. Kendrick, Callaspo, Aybar, Moseley, Zimmermann, Santana, Shell (outside of his Giants outing) and Jake Woods who I think will make the 25 man roster and be our lefty specialist we've all been looking for. Nasty curve and change and excellent fastball command in the 88-90 mph range.

Ok back to work, more later.. Oh yeah, www.RotoAmerica.com (http://www.rotoamerica.com/index.asp) has been updated and everything else should be tidied up by mid-week except the Sportsticker live feed which begins March 29th for news, box scores, 2005 standings and stats.

Terrific job chuck, but I just don't see how you find the time. Rotoamerica too? Keep up the good work.

Thanks LALionfan....yeah, my wife is very supportive and this is a bigtime passion of mine so it's all good! Just had our RotoAmerica.com launch party! Whew, loads of fun.. 65 sign up's in one week, not bad considering we're not in any search engines yet, though our marketing plan and search engine debut will be this week.

Good lord, chuck! the Rotoamerica site is even more ambitious than the Angels site! I'm not so sure about Mark Prior in the top pitchers though. He should be but he wasn't healthy last year and still isn't this year. He hasn't really shown us anything since his rookie season. But he has the best mechanics in the major leagues, and if healthy should get 20 or more wins

I just noticed that, we re-designed the homepage a bit so that must of suffered. It will be fixed in a sec. Thanks for the heads up!

LALionfan, Prior is rated this high based on his ceiling....No doubt, if Prior was having issues back in Feb when we did all these writeup's he'd be a little bit lower on the list, but with that said, I'd still take a gamble on him with the ability he has for your fantasy team. Prior will score big in the following categories when healthy, ERA, WHIP, K'S, W'S and if your league has QS's that too.
