One of the reasons the baseball world seems to be discounting the Angels is that so many of their players had bad seasons last year.
Ironically, that may also be one of the reasons to think they can be better this year.
Starting with himself, Jered Weaver looks around the Angels clubhouse and sees a lot of players who are trying to prove that last year was an aberration.
“Everyone,” Weaver said, “has a little chip on their shoulder.”
The 2015 Angels, who missed the playoffs by one game, had many more players who underperformed than overperformed.
