LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- With Opening Day approaching, the Los Angeles Angels are less focused on naming a definitive starter at second base and more interested in maintaining flexibility between two strong options.
As reported by Jack Janes of MLB. com , both Adam Frazier and Oswald Peraza have made compelling cases throughout Spring Training, giving the club confidence regardless of who ultimately gets the nod. Manager Kurt Suzuki suggested the decision may not come down to a single factor, emphasizing a broader evaluation process that extends beyond offensive production.
“Not just necessarily offense,” Suzuki said. “Peraza's tremendous defensively, and Frazier as well. They've got some experience.
Frazier's got a lot of experience over there. We try to take everything into account, not just offense, but defense as well, and matchups, and maybe a guy needs a day off or something like that. So we'll take everything into account and make that decision.
