"The good news is the Angels battled the Texas Rangers for first place in the American League West for most of the season before fading over the final two weeks.

The bad news is they did it with their worst per-game offensive performance in nearly 20 years.

That tells you a lot about the Angels pitching - it was pretty good, especially at the top of the rotation with Jered Weaver, Dan Haren and Ervin Santana.

The offense, though, was another story, and until the Angels add more punch to the lineup, they will have a difficult time dealing with the high-powered Rangers the next few years."
