    Wow, did the Angels get enough of a return in the Erick Aybar trade?

    I don’t think BB Rate will stabilize fast enough in spring training for us to really draw anything at all from this. Need at least 170 batters faced.

    Encouraging performance though

    I watched several Newk minor league games. This is not new for Newk. He literally could walk 5 his next start. He is the most frustrating pitcher I have watched recently. You know by first inning if it is good Newk or bad Newk.
