Daily rundown
Pitching dominates, Angels win:
Angels pitching dominated the Giants on Sunday, as they won 3-0 in Scotsdale. Washburn started the game and went 6-1/3 innings, allowing just 5 hits. He was relived by Scot Sheilds who threw 1-2/3 perfect innings. Sheilds gave way to Kevin Gregg in the ninth, who struckout one on his way to the save. The win was the Angel's 13th of the exibition season, bringer their record to 13-12-1.
Halos on TV:
You can see the Angels take on the Cubs on ESPN at 12:00. (Pacific)
Can't stop the bleeding:
Brendan Donnely was re-hospitalized after having his fourth nose surgery in two weeks. He returned to camp on Saturday after doctors preformed an operation to stop persistent nosebleeds, but the bleeding returned Sunday night. He will almost certainly start the season on the DL, with Kevin Gregg the most likely to take his roster spot.
Indians out of Sele sweepstakes:
Ben Maller reports that Indians GM Mark Shapiro had been in talks with the Angels for starter Aaron Sele, but was scared off by heath concerns and his $8.5 million price-tag. This is the first I've heard of the tribe's interest, but it seems like a plausible rumor.
Why?
Somehow D-Rays GM Chuck LaMar got a two-year extension. He's been on the job since 1995 and the Rays have never sniffed .500. You hear these stories about how he's scared to talk to guys like Billy Beane and you wonder how he's kept his job this long.
