That wasn't really the case
Last year, and it certainly wasn't the case last night, and he actually had a good game against the Angels last year, too.
He had a 10-strikeout game against them.
So the Angels have seen him a couple of times in the last two years, and he's been excellent both times.
Yeah, well, another guy that needs to be on the field and stay healthy.
We'll see how that all turns out for him.
He wants to play center field this year.
He's always kind of said that being a DH was not his style, that he liked to be present on both sides of the ball, that it helped him stay in the game.
It's important to him to play the outfield, but he also didn't really like playing right field or left field.
So it seems like center field is the place that keeps him happy for now.
So that's where the Angels will put him, and he's still a good defensive center fielder.
I'll tell you one thing I've seen offensively, and I don't think the scouting reports have caught up, because Cabrera last night threw him a lot of fastballs.
The Astros pitchers threw him a lot of fastballs.
He had trouble with velocity last year, and he's not having that trouble so far this year.
Pretty much all of his hits have come on fastballs so far this season.
He's on time.
He's laying off the high fastballs that are out of the zone, something that he chased a lot last year.
He had this kind of...
hitch in his swing where he kind of brought his hands underneath and was swinging underneath a lot of these high fastballs last year, and he's gotten rid of that.
He's getting his foot down sooner.
