TEMPE, Ariz. – Johnny Giavotella is ready to prove himself again.
Although Giavotella won the Angels everyday job at second base last year, he seems to have accepted what Manager Mike Scioscia said last week: the job is open.
“I’m coming in this year the same as last year, trying to earn a position,” Giavotella said Wednesday, before the Angels first full-squad workout of the spring. “I’m not going in with any guarantee I’m going to make the team or anything like that. I’m coming in ready to work and get better and prove I’m an everyday second baseman.
