He had 22 homers and 88 RBIs during the 2002 season during the Angels’ drive to their first World Series championship, when he seemed to personify the team. Hitting coach Mickey Hatcher’s eyes lit up when he was asked about Salmon’s spring. “I told Timmy, ‘That’s the best swing I’ve ever seen you have in all the years that I’ve been here.’ I said, ‘Why didn’t you pull it out the first year?”’ Hatcher said with a chuckle. “I think a lot had to do with his shoulder just not letting him put his hands in that com- fortable spot that he wanted them in. “This guy looks like a young Tim Salmon. He’s in such great shape. I’m going to start following him around and find out how he’s doing it.” Manager Mike Scioscia, noting that there is a group of good hitters competing for spots, has been impressed by Salmon’s return. “He seems back in every way except maybe for the fact he’s not in the outfield yet, and he seems to be running well,” Scioscia said. “He has good bat speed, and still has that great knowledge of the strike zone. “You put all that together and you’re excited about what he might be able to bring to the club.” Salmon’s chances of mak- ing the team are complicated by the fact that Garret Anderson has been limited this spring by a foot problem. If Anderson is unable to play in left field, he likely would be the DH.
