Once again, the strength of the Angels will be their pitching staff, led by a homegrown starting rotation. Santana and Saunders will be looking to follow up on their breakout seasons in 2008 while Lackey will be pitching for a new contract and could be one of the most highly coveted free agents on next winter's market. RHPs Dustin Moseley, Shane Loux, Nick Adenhart, Anthony Ortega and Nick Green will compete for the fifth starting spot.
