Angels' bench upgrades could lead to depth, versatility

TEMPE, Ariz. – While the Angels certainly didn’t improve the top of their roster to the level most fans had hoped, they unquestionably improved the bottom.

One of the club’s issues last season was a lack of depth.

Now, thanks to additions such as Cliff Pennington, Craig Gentry and Geovany Soto, the Angels are hoping that a stronger bench can make a difference.

“On the whole, you have 13 players, nine in the lineup and four on the bench,” Manager Mike Scioscia said. “We are going to have a more versatile, deeper look than we did last year.
