Troy Glaus' Chances Of Returning To Angels

Do you think the Angels might consider bringing back Troy Glaus on a one-year deal if they fail to land Beltre? Glaus would be more productive than any of our other third base candidates, and he could really influence Brandon Wood, who had a very similar path to the big leagues.

Glaus played only one game at third in 2010 for the Cardinals; he's a first baseman/DH now, and I don't see the Angels feeling there's a need there with Kendry Morales coming back and Napoli having shown he's a solid first baseman.

Napoli, in fact, was much better defensively at first last season than behind the plate. All the numbers bear that out. Scioscia has no interest in moving Morales to the outfield, however, so don't expect Napoli to see a lot of time at first.
