Can Slate Alford end the Angels' black hole at third base?

When the Angels signed Anthony Rendon in free agency in 2019, they were hoping to finally find a third baseman that could be a mainstay there. Since the early 2000's, it has been a cursed position in Anaheim. Anyways, everyone knows how the Rendon experiment has gone and thankfully it will be over in 15 months.

The Angels may have finally found the guy who can handle the hot corner at The Big A for the next decade in one of their newest draftees, Slate Alford. The University of Georgi product was selected in the ninth round by the Angels, and has officially signed on with the organization (along with the rest of the draft class).
