Did anyone check out the Angels line-up for yesterday's game without Vladimir Guerrero and Howie Kendrick? No? Macier Izturis was batting 3rd. If you think it is weak because the game was an afternoon affair following a night game, you may be right. C Mike Napoli would make it better. [Eyes roll]

With those outfielders, I venture to guess that AAA OF, Jeff-Weaver-return Terry Evans could be recalled. Given his out-of-nowhere 2006 season, one can be reasonably skeptical. Evans was 24 when he decided to finally make eyes pop - 33 HRs and 37 SBs between High A and AA. He has continued to rake in AAA Salt Lake - .375/.404/.708 with 3HRs and 4 SBs.
The conservative money is on 1B/DH Kendry Morales or 3B Brandon Wood, but they don't play the OF.
