The Los Angeles Angels don't plan to sign a starting pitcher to a Major League contract at this point.
Jered Weaver and C.J. Wilson sit atop the rotation, with youngsters Garrett Richards, Hector Santiago and Tyler Skaggs asked to fill out the staff.
"We felt like [Richards] made a very good turn in the second half of the season last year when given an opportunity to start every fifth day, and we're encouraged by where he's headed," Jerry Dipoto said.
"Santiago, because we've never heard of him doesn't mean he's not good. … I know not a lot of people outside of the South Side of Chicago are familiar with him, but he's pretty good. We're excited to see him get the opportunity to go out and sink his teeth into a starting job this spring. And Tyler Skaggs is a guy we are familiar with, both from his past in our organization and from his progression through the Minor Leagues as a prospect. This time a year ago, Tyler was a consensus Top 15 prospect in the industry."
