Kole Calhoun excited to go playing time
Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun is excited about receiving a full-time role, according to the Boston Herald.
The 26-year-old is poised to begin the year as the team's starting right fielder. Calhoun has already drawn strong endorsements from manager Mike Scioscia, who suggested Calhoun could hit leadoff for the club. "Kole made some terrific adjustments, first what he did in Triple-A and the he brought it up to the big leagues and did the same thing," Scioscia said.
Calhoun understands that while he's in line for more work, he has to earn his spot. "You've got to go out there and earn a spot," Calhoun said. "Spots aren't given out here." If he can follow through, Calhoun will jump into an enticing situation. Hitting in front of Mike Trout, Josh Hamilton and Albert Pujols can only boost a player's value.
