Despite starting the season at 1-8, the Angelenos have fought their way back to a respectable 9-12. Yes, 8-4 in their last 12 games. A pretty solid stretch that has seen both the offense and bullpen rebound from a pretty horrid start.

The Angelenos aren't expected to give Honolulu any trouble in terms of challenging for the division, but it's too early to rule out a Wild Card berth, especially in a season that's known as a marathon and not a sprint...

Another contributing factor to the overall bad start, has been the injury bug. Los Angeles saw their starting catcher and offensive threat Nick Alexander sidelined for at least 3 months with a ligament strain in his foot. He's just one of several Angelenos who have already spent time on the DL.

Herman Atkins and Ryan Ruffin of the AAA Angelenos are expected to be making their Major League debuts within the near future. These are two guys that the Angelenos have been extremely high on. With good reason, so far in AAA Herman Atkins is hitting .407 with 6 homers and 23 rbi in 81 at bats. Ryan Ruffin is hitting .322 with 9 dingers and 30 rbi. At that rate, they would be providing some much needed pop within the Angeleno line up...
