The Angels plan to skip the sixth starter to keep their top five pitching more often, unless there are no days off during a swing through the rotation
TEMPE, Ariz. — The Angels’ six-man rotation may be more of a 5.5-man rotation, as it turns out.
“We like what we have in the starting rotation, where those guys emerged from last year and what they’re potentially getting into,” Nevin said. “We like where we’re at. They’re really good.” Turning the sixth spot into a hybrid role could give an advantage to right-hander Jaime Barria in the competition for that spot, as he’s been successful at times in the big leagues as both a starter and reliever.
The sixth starter competition will be one of the more intriguing battles of the spring, but Nevin said Tuesday that the Angels will also be closely monitoring the catchers. Nevin also said he isn’t starting camp with any preconceived notions about how the time at shortstop will be allocated. David Fletcher and Luis Rengifo are the top candidates, with a handful of other players able to play there occasionally.
