LA Angels Season Prediction Series: Pujols Sits and Wild Card Contention

With that said, here I am predicting your 2019 LA Angels season!

Last year’s fourth place finish has brought change to the Angels, most notably manager Brad Ausmus. While the roster construction is similar to the past two seasons, I believe some of the buy-low moves Billy Eppler made will pay dividends, most notably Jonathan Lucroy and Matt Harvey.

Both players arrive in Anaheim with something to prove, as Lucroy, previously with the Oakland A’s, carries a reputation of a solid defensive catcher with declining offensive skills, and Harvey comes from Cincinnati with the albatross of being seen as a creature of the New York night, more interested in the club scene than the clubhouse.
