This year’s Los Angeles Angels team was a major disappointment after finishing 2015 only one game away from a playoff spot. However, when you have your #1 and #2 starters lost for the season within the first month it tends to hamper your chances of having a successful season.
However, if it weren’t for the injuries to the starting rotation this team would have been right there in the thick of things in 2016. A lot credit should be given to the new kid on the block Billy Eppler. He was handed a team with some major holes to fill and Eppler made a number of shrewd moves that helped keep the Angels afloat despite the pitching woes.
