In the claustrophobia that is left field, the newly acquired outfielders David Murphy and David DeJesus are seen as hope for the Angel offense to pick up in the final months of the season. Murphy and DeJesus, both left handed hitters, will hopefully compliment the right-handed Shane Victorino.
Interm GM Bill Stonemason told Orange County Register on Tuesday, “The results will show up on the field, but I feel a lot better getting some guys who can play left field. I feel a whole lot better about our chances.”
One of the main reasons of requiring these outfielders was to provide offensive power to the lower half of the lineup.
