Angels on a high despite critics.(South Florida Sun-Sentinel)
Byline: Mike Berardino
TEMPE, Ariz. _ Garret Anderson isn't one to waste his free time poring over baseball preview magazines, but he has a pretty good idea nothing has changed for the Anaheim Angels.
This time of year, when the paper champions get to preen in the sun, the Angels are typically an afterthought. Not even a pulsating World Series win four months ago could alter that perception when it comes to preseason predictions.
"Without even looking I can probably say that we're not picked," Anderson, the criminally underrated outfielder, said one recent morning in the Angels clubhouse. "That's just based on history."
Indeed, most publications consider the Oakland A's, with reigning American League Most Valuable Player Miguel Tejada and Cy Young winner Barry Zito, to be the class of a rugged AL West. Some so-called experts believe the Seattle Mariners, despite the loss of combustible manager Lou Piniella, will draw the wild card.
Where does that leave the world champions? Well, third in their own four-team division, crazy as that sounds.
It's not just the writers who still have doubts about these Angels. Privately, a number of baseball people wonder if the Angels really were the best team last October or if they simply put everything together at the most opportune time.
