Angels pitching is progressing better this spring than it has in a lont time, which is ti say, no major injuries. Escobar is throwing well, and so is Colon. Lackey has changed his stride to the plate, and Byrd has had a few good outings. Washburn is up and down, but it's still early, and that's been true his whole career anyway. DMac is due early in the season, but I think I like Quinlan anyway. A positive stance to enter the season as the Angels prepare for their 2nd World Series.
