The Angels are strapped for pitching and could look for help in the Atlantic League, which began play last week. "We've gone as deep as we can right now with what we have," Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia said. "There are some good pitchers that don't have jobs that have major league experience," Scioscia said of the Atlantic League. "I guarantee you . . . every team sends scouts. "A lot of pitchers have gone to independent leagues, gotten exposure, gotten a second look and have really taken advantage of it. And I think everything's primed this year, when you look at pitching around the league, for that to happen again."
