As the trade deadline the Angels have two pressing needs: a left-handed outfielder with power, or a potential lead-off hitter. With the recent injury to David Freese which put the third baseman on the disabled list probably until September, some people may think a 3rd baseman should be added to the list of pressing needs. While acquiring a 3rd baseman wouldn’t hurt the Angels chances of a deep post-season run, Freese should be back for the September stretch run and a potential post-season trip where Freese has proven to an asset. The only way I see the Angels trading for a third baseman is if the player can also play the outfield or another position.
