Angels in the OF

[BigJonEmpire]

How is Bourjous different from Reggie Willits? In fact, is he even as good as Willits? Ol' Reg somehow managed 518 PAs, a 293/391/344 line and 27 SBs in 2006.

I still think the Angels are going to have to sign a DH to add some offense (Vlad makes sense, though a lefty would be better) which would push Bourjous to the bench.

Of course, that could make him a better sleeper because any injury would make him a $3 guy who chips in 20+ steals.

I don't think that Scosia would ever allow his team to be that bad defensively. Putting Abreu in left and Wells back in center makes their outfield defense almost as bad as it could be. I think the Angels will put out their best possible defense and hope the pitching is dominant.

How well does the Bourjos = Pettis comparison fit? His best season in the minors was at altitude, and Pettis would at least take a walk.

Who's Pettis???

I think he's reaching into the Wayback Machine to compare Bourjos to Gary Pettis.

Whoa! Even I barely remember Gary Pettis as a player....
