Once again Chirs Iannetta has to learn a new pitching staff

 

Not only does Chris Iannetta has to make sure his wrist is 100% strong this spring he also need to learn his new pitchers from starters to relievers. But to be honest I really like Chris as the everyday catcher he is very smart and a very good overall player. I have faith in his ability to call games and he will do good learning each pitcher. I feel the second year with pitchers like Weaver and CJ will really help the team this year. I feel like he has this respect with the pitchers that really helps him call games. O and hit hitting is not to bad either.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- When Chris Iannetta arrived at Angels camp a year ago he was the new guy. Iannetta was acquired via a trade with the Colorado Rockies and was pegged to be the Angels' starting catcher.

But as the relationship between a pitcher and a catcher is so vital to the success of a pitcher and a baseball team, it was Iannetta's job to develop strong ties with the Angels' rotation -- even if he was the new one.

In 2013, Iannetta, entering his second Spring Training with the Angels, is no longer the new guy, but his spring task has not changed. The club added Tommy Hanson, Jason Vargas and Joe Blanton to the rotation while Sean Burnett and Ryan Madson became new members of the bullpen, and once again Iannetta will spend this time getting to know a new crop of pitchers.

"That's what Spring Training is for," Iannetta said. "It's like any friendship. You start with the 'hello' and you get to know them off the field and in the clubhouse. That translates onto the field and it just keeps getting better every day like any other friendship or relationship in life. You get to know them better the more you're around them."
