Dexter Fowler’s season-ending injury was the first crack in the Angels’ windshield this season. The crack grew with each additional injury until it completely derailed the season. This disfunction was on full display this week and there isn’t a ton of relief in sight.
Even in the worst-case scenario most people had in their heads regarding the Angels, I doubt few pictured the roster turning into what it’s currently become. The Angels have been forced to use minor league resources that either aren’t ready, will never be ready or are passed their prime. The lineup is decimated by injury, resulting in a lack of consistent offensive efficiency.
