another door opens

The well-traveled Bill Hall will get a shot at making the Los Angeles Angels’ roster this spring. The Angels signed the Nettleton product, who has been with six different MLB clubs the past four years, to a minor league deal with a spring training invite. Hall, 33, is a career .248 hitter with 125 home runs, 35 of those with Milwaukee in 2006. He belted 15 homers in Triple-A with Baltimore last season, so he still has some thump. Hall reportedly is agreeable to playing in the minors again for the Angels, and that’s likely where he’ll start 2013. LA’s roster, which includes Albert Pujols, Mike Trout, Josh Hamilton, Erick Aybar, Mark Trumbo and Howie Kendrick, to name a few, won’t be easy to crack.
