• Angels’ David Fletcher could see more time in outfield when Tommy La Stella is at second

  16-02-2020 23:39
  
  TEMPE, Ariz. — Ever since the Angels got Anthony Rendon to play third base, many fans and outsiders have assumed the way to squeeze David Fletcher and Tommy La Stella into the lineup together would be having La Stella move to first with Fletcher at second.
  On the eve of the Angels first full-squad workout, Manager Joe Maddon indicated Sunday there is a more likely scenario, with La Stella at second and Fletcher in right field.
  “Obviously you want to get Tommy out there as often as yo

  GLENDALE, AZ. – David Price has spent a lot of time in some tough neighborhoods.
  The veteran left-hander has spent 11 of his first 12 seasons in the major leagues pitching in the American League East, home to three of the most hitter-friendly ballparks (based on ESPN’s ballpark factors rankings). For parts of seven seasons, his home park was one of the top 10 most hitter-friendly in the majors – Boston’s Fenway Park, Rogers Centre in Toronto and Comerica Park in Detroit,

• The many flaws of Prop. 13, the 2020 impostor

  16-02-2020 21:00
  
  A couple of months ago, this column sounded the alarm concerning the big statewide school bond on the March 2020 ballot.
  Voters have already started casting their ballots on this measure, ironically identified as Proposition 13 (2020). Unlike the beneficial Prop. 13 from 1978, this Prop. 13 is a huge $15 billion statewide school bond that threatens taxpayers in several ways. And the more we learn about this proposal, the worse it gets.
  Although the amount of debt is “only” $15 billio

  The more or less official rationale offered by the state’s Democratic politicians for moving our presidential primary election to March 3 was that the nation’s most populous and diverse state should play a major role in choosing a challenger to President Donald Trump and compel candidates to pay attention to our issues.
