Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2005 Angels
The opening day roster is complete, and with only one surprise - no Kelvim Escobar. He'll start the season on the 15-day DL with a hitherto unheard-of "right elbow strain" (or did I just miss it?), diagnosed by team doctors after his March 30th start. Jake Woods takes his roster spot and Kevin Gregg will take his starts. This comes just a day after I proclaimed that Escobar was not an injury risk.
Also - as expected - both Lou Merloni and Maicer Izturis made the final cut and will be in Anaheim for at least a few days, until the Angels feel comfortable that McPherson's had enough at-bats. Who goes down after that is still a mystery, although Merloni is the more likely choice, having just renegotiated his contract to allow for his release in such an event.
