Given his performance this spring, Ian Kinsler sort of sneaking up on the Angels in the offseason now seems entirely appropriate.
The savvy of a veteran entering his 13th season has been impossible to miss, Kinsler, as one example, continually finding ways to advance an extra base in a manner that could almost be described as devious.
His timing and execution have been nearly impeccable. He genuinely has swiped real estate on plays that only officially didn't count as stolen bases.
The most impressive play for Kinsler came against Texas on March 11, when he scored from first base on a Mike Trout groundout to shortstop.
