  Eduardo Garcia is the father, Robert Garcia the brother. They are also Mikey’s trainers.

Credit first year-coach Sean McVay, a revamped offensive line, a big jump from second-year QB Jared Goff, an improved wide receivers corps and a rejuvenated Todd Gurley for one of the greatest offensive turnarounds in NFL history.

  The Angels shortstop is having a wonderful season, one good enough to get him into the five-man All-Star Final Vote, which closes Wednesday at 1 p.m. PT. Simmons’ misfortune is that he plays a position that, at least in the American League, is exceeded in its importance by its sheer glut of talent.
