PLAYER SPOTLIGHT
Andrelton Simmons, Angels
Simmons is hopeful some World Baseball Classic mojo accompanies him into the season. In 2013, when Simmons played for Netherlands, he had one of his best seasons, winning a Gold Glove and hitting a career-high 17 home runs. He entered this year saying he was locked in as he sought to improve on his solid first season with the Angels. Simmons’ defensive work was expected, but he hit .281, his highest since his rookie year (2012).
