ANAHEIM -- Mike Scioscia considers the 2017 Angels to be the best defensive teams he's managed during his 18 seasons with the club.
"I definitely think it's our best defensive team," Scioscia said before Sunday's series finale against the Mariners at Angel Stadium. "We've had some terrific defensive teams over the years, guys that were really good at making plays. But I think the dynamic this year is the range is the best we've ever had at a number of positions."
It all starts up the middle for the Angels.
Andrelton Simmons is widely regarded as the best defensive shortstop in baseball.
