Mike Napoli made his first appearance of the spring behind the plate Friday and threw out the lone baserunner to attempt a steal off him.

John Lackey continued to experience tightness in his forearm during his throwing session Thursday and now appears doubtful to start on Opening Day.

Re: Angels 09 News

If I was the Angels I wouldn't sign Lackey to that extension, I feel like that 80-90 million could me much better spent in the FA market getting a few quality arms and IF's, I just have a feeling Lackey would be a bust if he got that big a contract.

Lackey is one of the best pitchers in the AL. He is worth an extension but three years is as far as I would go.

Joe Saunders is likely to start on Opening Day for the Angels.

Re: Angels 09 News

Things are looking up for Ervin Santana, who is "progressing pretty well" from right elbow soreness, the team doctor said. Ace John Lackey, however, will be shut down for a week.

Huge loss for the Halos, but he will we be back for Opening Day.

Angels survived last season without Lackey in April and will be able to do it again.

Re: Angels 09 News

With Lackey, Escobar and Santana most likely out for the 1st month of the season the Angels have to rely on this...

Re: Angels 09 News

With a weak lineup I think it will spell doom for LAA, speaking of predictions... time to go make a predictions thread!
