Every year there is always some surprises to make the LA Angels Opening Day roster on the hitting side. This Spring is looking Ike it will be no different.
In years past guys like Johnny Giavotella who was the surprise replacement for Howie Kendrick at second base after he was traded in the 2015 off-season. How about Jefry Marte in 2016 when he was a non-roster invitee and made the club after a stellar Spring.
In 2017 Eric Young Jr. Came to camp less than a month after losing his newborn son. Young Jr made his mark that Spring and made the roster and was a key player off the bench and he held down centerfield while Mike Trout was on the DL for seven weeks.
