Glaus Hits Tape Measure Shots In BP
Glaus, the Angels third baseman who has been out since late May because of surgery to repair a frayed rotator cuff and labrum in his right shoulder, showed no ill effects of his injuries Monday, launching at least five home runs during his first live batting practice since returning from rehabilitation in Arizona.We get a healthy Washburn back, and Glaus takes some AB's away from singles-hitting Anderson and Salmon and actually produces... dayng. That could be the division we're looking at.Glaus is not being considered for third base this year or even first base because he's not in condition to throw. If he is able to join the Angels for the stretch run, it will be as a designated hitter.
On Monday, he looked like a good one, hitting for about 20 minutes, depositing two balls over both bullpens in left field, crushing one onto the tarp well beyond the center-field wall, and hitting a majestic foul home run into the upper deck in left field. He also ran the bases aggressively, concentrating on going from first to third.
Oh, and good Colón shows up today? Pinch me.
