Angels spring training could put Walbert Ureña's development to the test

Related Topics: Los Angeles Angels, José Ureña

The Los Angeles Angels have an exciting young arm in Walbert Ureña, and will be faced with an interesting question of how best to use him. Something that should get sorted out in spring training. The Angels still view the 22-year-old as a future starter, and therefor will most likely be reluctant to use him as a reliever in spring training — even though that may be how he can best help the roster right now.

Expect LA to stretch him out in the spring and use him for multiple innings in Arizona and eventually deploy him as a starter in the minor leagues to begin the season.
