Los Angeles Angels: Five things to watch for during Spring Training

5. Will the Los Angeles Angels be better this season?

This is the ultimate question for the Los Angeles Angels. On paper, they should be much-improved. However, until the first couple games, we really won’t know if Billy Eppler’s moves will work. In 2016, the Angels looked solid, but injuries took their toll and the Angels scrambled to add pieces to patch the holes in the ship.

This season, it appears the Angels have a sensible plan to keep and maintain depth. However, health is still one of the most important things for the Angels division hopes for the 2017 season. The Angels will be better this season. They’ll have plenty to work with on the mound and at the plate.

The AL West has been ransacked by the Texas Rangers for the last two seasons. The Angels will look to win the division for the first time since the 2014 season. They’ll also look to win their first playoff series in the Mike Trout era.

This is going to be fun.
