So far after the first week of Spring Training where five of these six pitchers have seen action for the LA Angels this Spring. Nick Tropeano dropped out the race before he even got started due to a setback in his rehab from Tommy John Surgery. The rest of the candidates have all looked good in their first outings.
Dillon Peters – left-handed starter acquired from the Florida Marlins.
Dillon Peters could win a roster spot as a lefty-specialist or as a 5th starter. Peters got the nod in the first Spring Training game as he pitched two scoreless innings against the San Francisco Giants.
