Both Kendry Morales and Casey Kotchman had solid winter ball seasons and both will get to show their stuff to see who the starting first baseman will be for the Angels. I’m a little partial to Kotchman because he had quite a pedigree coming up through the minors and I think if given the time, he’ll blossom.
Regardless, if the Angels want to make a run at the AL West, they’ll need some production from first base, which isn’t something that didn’t happen last year. Angels first basemen hit a mediocre .255/.297/.367 annd that .664 OPS was the worst amongst all of the positions the Angels fielded when it should have been one of the best.
