The Morales Domino Effect

Written by Garrett Wilson on .

We'd all prepared ourselves for the worst when we first heard that Kendrys Morales might not be ready for Opening Day, but now that it has come to pass, it is time we figure out what his early season absence will mean to the rest of the team.

Multiple Choice Monday: What Should the Angels Do With Brandon Wood?
