We continue on with our reason why the Angels will miss the postseason in 2018, this time examining the question marks surrounding the bullpen.

Blake Parker returns from a stellar 2017 season, but can he put it all together this summer? Keynan Middleton has flashed promise, but consistency is key. Jim Johnson comes off his struggles the past few seasons, and Cam Bedrosian must fight off injury concerns that derailed his 2017. And those are the guys who are all expected to log heavy innings for the Halo bullpen this summer.

Our Wild West Wednesday today examines the Oakland Athletics, who many are overlooking heading into 2018. With Matt Olson and Matt Chapman coming off very surprising and productive seasons, the A's are primed as a dark horse candidate to possibly contend for the final playoff spot in the American League. Crazy? Maybe not as much as you think...

Lastly, we conclude with Shohei Ohtani once again. Is there even the slightest chance he begins the season in the minor leagues? Tune in and find out!
