It's early in the season, but Johnny's doing great so far. He's third on the team in hitting at .317. He hit his first home run with the Angels last night, a three run shot. http://m.angels.mlb.com/news/article/11973...ut-of-athletics |

And today, Giavotella doubled in front of a game-tying Mike Trout homer in the 7th, then drove in the should-have-been game-winning run with a bases loaded single in the 8th. Texas rallied in the top of the 9th. He's also been playing really great defense. Just a fantastic start to the season. |

Johnny just singled home the go ahead run in the 7th against the A's. He's 2 for 3 for the night. |

Thanks. It was an excellent piece. I see where Johnny is batting second in the lineup today rather than ninth. |

Great stuff on Johnny and Joey. Thanks. It was the fifth game winning hit for Johnny this season according to the LA Times. I think that Johnny has found a home. It's going to be a little tougher for Joey, as a DH. |

http://www.mlb.com/r/video?content_id=113084283 Giavotella's sixth game-winning RBI in 16 Angels wins this season. Amazing month-plus for Gio. |

After suffering through a 3-for-30 mini slump, Gio has bounced back nicely the last few days. He's had a triple and two doubles recently. The last two days he's actually batted in the leadoff spot as the Angels have weathered a few minor injuries in their lineup. I guess that would be called battling through a slump. Something the Royals never gave him once single chance to try to do. |

Johnny's two run infield single just put the Angels ahead 4-2 going into the ninth against Detroit. |

Gio was back to living up to his newfound nickname of "Johnny Drama" last night. Two outs, bases loaded, tie game in the 9th inning: http://m.mlb.com/video/v244058783 Postgame interview: http://m.mlb.com/video/v244134883 |

The first half (plus) is in the books as MLB breaks for the All-Star game. Johnny made it all the way to the break as the everyday Angels 2B and now leadoff hitter. Slash line .271/.322/.363 in 300+ plate appearances, very respectable for second base, probably above average in baseball's 2015 run environment. Of course his defense has been generally shaky though not terrible. Factoring that in, he's been about average, not amazing but certainly enough to justify being an everyday major leaguer. Which is pretty cool. |
