Angels Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Kendry Morales got a late start in spring training because of a slow-to-process work visa application. But the Angels are counting on the Cuban first baseman to use his breakout 2009 season as a springboard to more success.

Stepping into shoes vacated by Mark Teixeira last year, Morales had one of the best seasons ever by an Angels first baseman. In his first full season in the big leagues, Morales hit .306 with 34 home runs and 108 RBI and finished fifth in the American League MVP voting.

It was more than the Angels could have expected—but it is what they need him to duplicate in 2010.

"What I think Kendry showed was that he's able to bring his talent not only into a game but into a season and maintain it for a whole year," manager Mike Scioscia said.

Royals' homers overcome Santana's 3 strong innings (AP)

Peavy looks sharp in first start for White Sox (AP)
Jake Peavy's first spring training outing looked more like a regular-season start. He was that sharp, and showed no signs of fatigue from jamming at his late-night "Woodjock" charity concert Thursday that drew some 1,200 people. The Chicago White Sox also looked impressive at the plate in a 10-7 victory against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday, getting two-run homers from Gordon...

Jackson strong again, Diamondbacks beat Angels 4-1 (AP)
With the uncertain status of Brandon Webb, newcomer Edwin Jackson's performance thus far this spring must be comforting for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Angels manager Mike Scioscia told reporters earlier in camp that Matsui would be treated carefully...

Crisp gets two hits in A's win (AP)

Delayed by traffic, Jimenez comes out of bullpen (AP)
Next time, maybe Ubaldo Jimenez will just take the team bus.

Slated to pitch against the Los Angeles Angels, Jimenez opted to drive himself to the ballpark rather than ride with the team.
