The Angels introduced new general manager Perry Minasian on Tuesday in Anaheim, and while he’s less than a week on the job, a few themes emerged from his press conference.
The pitching
“I think pitching is first and foremost, and with pitching comes around prevention. We can’t lose sight of that either,” Minasian said. “We have to play quality defense, we have to catch the ball. Catching is beyond important. Game calling, game planning, positioning, all the things that entail run prevention, we’re going to attack.”
Angels pitchers over the last three seasons ranked 22nd in the majors in both ERA and FIP.
