Angels ace Jered Weaver
Angels ace Jered Weaver
The key piece is Bourjos, a 24-year-old who returned to action Tuesday after being sidelined for three days because of a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] sore right hip. He has limited big league experience but seemingly unlimited defensive upside, as he showed in Angel Stadium on Aug. 13. In the fourth inning of the Angels' 3-0 loss to the Blue Jays,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Bourjos sprinted into shallow left-center field to make a diving catch of Aaron Hill's sacrifice fly. In the fifth, Bourjos, playing shallow against light-hitting Yunel Escobar, got an excellent jump on a liner to deep center and made an over-the-shoulder, running catch at the warning track.
In the ninth, with a runner on first, Bourjos raced to the gap in left center and made a diving catch of Jose Bautista's laser near the warning track to save a run. A week later, in the Angels' 9-3 win over Minnesota, Bourjos showed off his arm, throwing out Delmon Young at the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] plate. "I can still play center field �� I'm not declining �� but Peter can be one of the best center fielders in the game," Hunter said. "His speed is game-changing. Right now, if he runs a bad route his speed can make up for it."
There is room for improvement, too. "He still has a lot to learn," Hunter said. "But the more he plays, the more we help him, the more comfortable he'll be." That speed in center and Gold Glove experience at the corners will be a welcome sight for [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Angels ace Jered Weaver, who quietly chafed at the outfield defense last season.
