Anthony Rendon has a huge paycheck, questionable motivation and paltry production. Angels fans might cheer rather than boo.
Luis Rengifo was an unequivocal upgrade at the top of the order for the Angels on Wednesday in Miami, beginning the game with a double. It marked the first hit by an Angels leadoff hitter this season, and it triggered a 10-2 victory. Anthony Rendon batted leadoff the first five games and went 0 for 19. The oft-criticized, oft-injured third baseman had batted first only 35 times in 1,116 previous major league games, but new manager Ron Washington figured it was worth a shot.
I think we all are on the same page, all of our guys up and down the order.” Others have delivered, the Angels winning four in a row after opening with two losses. They begin a homestand Friday night against the Boston Red Sox. Some fans have suggested Rendon take a cue from the Philadelphia Phillies for incentive. Bryce Harper, a player whose motivation is never questioned, snapped a season-opening 0 for 11 skid by hitting three home runs in one game.
