Adam Frazier and Oswald Peraza have both impressed this spring, leaving the Angels leaning toward a platoon at second base.

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Angels appear to be closing in on a solution at second base, but not in the form of a traditional everyday starter. Instead, Adam Frazier and Oswald Peraza have each made compelling cases during spring training, positioning themselves for what could become a situational platoon, at least to start the season.
Both infielders turned in strong offensive performances in camp. Frazier posted a . 300 batting average with an .
847 OPS, while Peraza slightly outpaced him, hitting . 314 with a . 901 OPS.
Their production has made the decision difficult for newly hired manager Kurt Suzuki, who has yet to officially name a starter. Peraza has long been viewed as a defense-first infielder, known for his range, arm strength, and overall reliability in the field. While his bat has shown improvement this spring, his defensive profile remains his calling card.
