Tony Reagins emerged from two days of organizational meetings with an assessment of the Angels that might surprise followers of the team. "I don't know that the offense has been the biggest shortcoming of the club," said Reagins. "There have been several areas we haven't performed well in. "The offense sticks out because of the numbers, but the bigger aspect of the game we have to get better in is all-around baseball, whether it's fundamentals, defense, pitching or getting into the type of game we do well." Manager Mike Scioscia said coaches, front-office executives and scouts have "peeled the paint off this thing, I can tell you that." The Angels are expected to aggressively pursue Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Carl Crawford in free agency, but Reagins and Scioscia gave the impression that a reliable veteran reliever will also be high on the team's shopping list.
