Angels Pitching Woes Mark Offense In 1985 Outlook
California Angels faced a pitching heavy year with George Brunet Marcelino Lopez and Fred Newman under 3.00 ERA, while Dean Chance led staff at 3.15 with a 13 10 mark. Bob Lee totaled 21 saves in 69 appearances, aided by rim relief from Aubrey Gatewood and Rudy May. Offensively, Norm Siebern arrived from Baltimore to shore up first base, Frank Malzone could replace third base, and Jim Fregosi plus Bobby Knoop anchored the double play, but hitting remained a concern despite a few bright spots from Ed Kirkpatrick Jose Cardenal and others.
