The Angels’ front-office contingent will arrive at this week’s general managers meetings in Orlando, Fla., with one clear and present need: a second baseman. On the organization’s current depth chart, the top second baseman is one-time top prospect Kaleb Cowart, who has played 94 professional games there. Only one sturdy second baseman is available on the free-agent market: 32-year-old Neil Walker, who offers patience at the plate and power but below-average defense. Chase Utley is a free agent, but he will turn 39 next month. The Angels will have someone new starting at second base March 29, 2018.
