MondoLinks: Spring Training Weekend Recap
MondoLinks: A recap of baseball happenings over this past weekend...and...this week's One Big Idea to ponder: 2002 was THIS long ago... Spring Training games opened up this weekend, for reals. We saw a Mike Trout grand slam; a Joe Blanton sighting where he goes 7 outs, gives up 3 hits, a walk, and runs, both earned; and an Albert Pujols going 0 for 3 with a strikeout and 5 LOBsters. Three games in and it still feels like 2013, doesn't it??? But, hey, let's give it up for Hector Santiago, yeah?! Masahiro Tanaka made his MLB debut, sure, but ESPN's head isn't what asploded, it was...

Angels GM Jerry Dipoto is in a must-win situation
He is in the third and last year of his contract and no guarantees beyond that from owner Arte Moreno, who has invested heavily on players without reaping the benefits of even reaching the playoffs for four years in a row. TEMPE, Ariz. — Albert Pujols plays for the Angels, and so does Josh Hamilton. Total rebuilding is not an option.
