12:19 PM ET 02.16 | The Angels did not ban beer from the clubhouse after 22-year-old pitcher Nick Adenhart was killed by a drunk driver in 2009, and they will not ban it after signing Hamilton, whose addiction to drugs and alcohol led to a three-year suspension from baseball. Hamilton, who had two alcohol relapses in five years at Texas, did not ask the Angels to change their policy. About 20 of baseball's 30 teams ban alcohol from the clubhouse. "We don't think it will be an issue," Manager Scioscia said. "Guys are all responsible." The Angels do not allow hard liquor in the clubhouse. The Rangers allow beer, but when they clinched a division title or won a playoff series, they doused Hamilton with ginger ale.

The Halos have more problems to worry about, winning and paying 5 and 32, and having a lot of butts at home games.

the angels should know that they have only three regular starters right??? and IF CJ wilson falters or fail to pitch in halos expectations??how that lives the halos rotation,, from 3 we 're down to two,,but because injuries are for the taker in the betting machine,,,vargas or weaver could hit the DL before your eyes,,,that means halos could have the worse rotation in years,,,

Jerome Williams can't guarantee to pitch better than last year, and he may ended going to the minors to straight up his mechanics,,,hanson is in the decline form already,,,,

all in all,,the halos would/should/could/ be forced to use long relievers in every other game,,,my guess is the bullpen would be tagged in innings pitched demand!!!

plus the halos have the weakest farm system to say the least,,,,or do they have a top quality starter prospect in their farm system??if so we could be breached by that pitcher,,like what happened last year with mike trout though...
