Charter Cable Delivers Angels Broadcast
I had a note in yesterday's "Pickoff Moves" that Charter Cable was blacking out Angels games because of a dispute between them and Fox. Looks like that's been defused, and Charter will carry all the Angels games. Whew.More On Dodger Spring Training Relocation
Vero Beach "would certainly be heartbroken" if the Dodgers were to move, according to mayor James Gabbard. The Dodgers accepted a proposal from the city of Goodyear, AZ, to open negotiations on a shared training facility in that city.Roster Notes
- Garret Anderson and Vlad Guerrero will share DH duties for the remainder of the Twins series.
- Tim Salmon will only be called on as a pinch hitter.
- Juan Rivera will go through his usual pregame activities, and the Angels will assess him afterwards.
- Jayson Werth "is concerned his career could be in jeopardy", according to the Times. "I can't even swing a bat," he said.
After an MRI examination Monday was inconclusive, Dr. Norman Zemel, the hand specialist who performed the surgery, suggested a cortisone injection to combat inflammation. Werth said he was "not sold" on that option and said he would consider getting second and third opinions.
- Nomar may get a rehab assignment today.
- Yhency Brazoban had his elbow surgery and is out 12 to 18 months.
- Mariners starter Felix Hernandez struck out nine over five innings, but gave up four earned runs. "King" Felix is looking a bit more like a duke, or maybe an earl, with an 0-2 record and a 6.14 ERA. He'll come back to form.
