Their aggressive promotion of first-round picks, along with the performance of ones who have been around a while, makes them a lot of fun. Schanuel had the night off last night, but Monday the Angels started six of their own first-round picks, including all of the top four in their lineup. That’s a rare feat, and one even the most aggressive rebuilding teams rarely pull off. The Angels may not be good, but any team that puts this many homegrown players on the field is doing at least one thing right. I’m looking forward to seeing that group this afternoon in the sunshine.
