2 Angels players who should see a larger role in 2025, and 2 who should not

The Angels should increase the roles of these 2 players

This one feels obvious, but the Angels need to keep the ball rolling with Caden Dana. A 20-year-old September call-up, Dana's presence on the Major League roster muddies the waters some. Perry Minasian will have to either demote or move on from Tyler Anderson, Patrick Sandoval, Griffin Canning, Jack Kochanowicz, Reid Detmers, or Jose Soriano to make room for Dana in the rotation.

Dana's the club's top prospect for a reason, which he proved when he electrified in his big-league debut. The Halos should continue trusting in his development at the highest level. If Los Angeles wants to provide any hope for their fans, keeping Dana at the MLB level can definitely help with that.

There was plenty of hype surrounding Reid Detmers coming into 2024. The southpaw registered 25 or more starts in the previous two seasons, and was seemingly building himself up to be a certified middle-of-the-rotation starter at just 24 years old. Detmers was extravagant in his first four starts this season before completely falling apart, leading to his demotion. He rediscovered himself after spending a bulk of the year in Triple-A, and was called up again at the start of September.

Detmers shocked everyone in his first start back, striking out 10 Dodgers on Sept. 3 in six innings, allowing two runs in a quality start. The talent is there, and the Angels do not need to keep him in Triple-A any longer.
