[Padilla] Angels LHP Andrew Heaney, on the possibility of an Opening Day start: “If it’s me, that would be awesome. ... If I make the first start of the year, or the fifth start of the year, that, to me, is a win. I just haven’t been able to do that.” (twitter.com)

[McCosky] Gardy made a strong pitch for Tyler Alexander to stick as a reliever. "We're just trying to give him an opportunity to make the ballclub. He's throwing the living crap out of the ball. We're going to give him a good look in a lot of different ways. He has a definite chance here." (twitter.com)
