During Star Wars weekend at Angel Stadium, the Angels activated Zach Neto off the injured list, showcasing him as a vital player for the team. With impressive performance metrics, Neto's role is highlighted as crucial, especially compared to a struggling lineup of replacement shortstops. Manager Ron Washington emphasizes the importance of young players like Neto, while Neto himself downplays expectations, stating he's not a savior. His previous season’s performance suggests significant potential, which could be pivotal for the Angels as they strive for success amid Trout's storied presence.
When you have a superstar like Mike, when he gets going, he's the type of guy who can carry the team. We're not expecting Neto to carry this team.
I'm not the savior. I'm just here to do my job.
If what he did last year is his ceiling, we're in trouble, meaning that.
Neto put up 5.1 WAR last season, according to Baseball Reference, bettered among American League West players only by Oakland slugger Brent Rooker.
