Scioscia: Kotchman To Get "Significant ... Playing Time"
Quoth the Times:
Although the Angels also have Robb Quinlan and Shane Halter available at first base, Scioscia said Kotchman would get "a significant amount of playing time." Stoneman said he did not rule out the possibility that Kotchman could play well enough to stay in the major leagues once the Angels' injury wave abates.Looks like they're going to let Casey show them why he shouldn't be in the lineup rather than the other way around. Welcome to the Bronx, rook. And going against the Yankees: Kelvim Escobar, a pitcher the Yanks have good experience with, versus their new ace, ex-Dodger Kevin "Captain Happy" Brown."We don't have a timetable on him being here," Stoneman said. "When people get opportunities, we want them to make the most of them."
(Aside: I remember reading in the Post when the Brown-for-Weaver deal went down that "Brown has functioned as an ace for the Dodgers", as if he were somehow fire-damaged goods. When healthy, he's a fine starter. How do you like your pitching staff now, Yankees?)
"Casey Kotchman is well beyond what his experience might indicate. "Let's hope so.
-- Mike Scioscia, on his new first baseman, called up from Double-A Arkansas Saturday night.
