The logic behind doing this, if you can call it that, is that Lowe is a left-handed bat who would help balance the Halos’ lineup. As currently constituted, the Angels have a projected outfield mix of Mike Trout, Jorge Soler, Jo Adell and Bryce Teodosio, all of whom are right-handed hitters. The Angels traded outfielder Taylor Ward earlier in the offseason, but he hit right handed as well. The only other outfield the Angels have who hits from the left side is Wade Meckler, whom the team recently claimed off waivers from the San Francisco Giants.
