Dallas McPherson May Be Breaking Out
Angels slugger Dallas McPherson, competing for the left-handed DH spot, was sent to the Double-A Arkansas Travellers spring camp for a second time for extra AB and went 5-for-10 with a 500-foot homer. McPherson had been batting less than .100 and was facing potential demotion to Salt Lake City due to competition from rookie Cuban defector Kendry Morales. McPherson played 3B for the Angels last season.
