Angel’s Daniel Nava and Craig Gentry spent a fair amount of time on the DL this season. Combine that, with six other left fielders and a .583 OPS, you get a disastrous outcome. In spring training, most of the Halo Hangout crew agreed that platooning left field wasn’t the best of plans for the regular season. Now, the Angels have abandoned that plan for the regular season
What this means ultimately is the Angels are avoiding a luxury tax penalization, It’s likely they’ll pursue bargain options for Nava and Gentry. Both of whom under performed in their short time in a Angel uniform.
