| | | LA ANGELS: ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton didn't exactly fit in right away with the Los Angeles Angels after they accepted owner Arte Moreno's lavish free-agent contracts.
Now that both sluggers feel much more comfortable and confident in Orange County, they know it's time the Angels started getting more wins for their money.
The Angels' four-year absence from the playoffs is embarrassing for an organization with a sky-high payroll and equally lofty expectations, but they seem capable of ending the drought if the club's various pieces finally add up properly.
Pujols and Hamilton are full of spring optimism after those disappointing 2013 efforts, while superstar Mike Trout is back for the third full major league campaign in his already remarkable career.
| | TAMPA BAY: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - The Tampa Bay Rays feel they have everything it takes to win the World Series and aren't afraid to say it.
The budget-minded franchise that's played into October four out of the past six seasons boosted payroll instead of cutting back this winter in hopes of making another strong run for the playoffs.
''The goal is to be the team that plays the last game of the year and win,'' third baseman Evan Longoria said.
''I felt like we were really close to breaking through last year,'' the three-time AL All-Star added. ''And with the team that we have this year, I'm really excited to go out and try to prove to ourselves that we are good enough to do that.''
The Rays won 92 games a year ago, including a Game 163 tie-breaker to claim a wild-card spot, and have compiled the second-best record in baseball over the past six seasons.
That's not enough for manager Joe Maddon and a hungry collection of players who reported to spring training feeling as if there's unfinished business to tend to after losing to eventual World Series champion Boston in the AL division round.
''I love that our guys feel and think that way. I think it's great,'' Maddon said.
''You'll hear that rhetoric in a lot of clubhouses, whether it's baseball, football or basketball, but you've got to back it up. You have to really believe it. Not just say it,'' he said. ''Some groups say it because they're supposed to say it. Some groups say it because they believe it. Our guys believe it.''
That confidence was bolstered by the Rays' ability to keep most of the key components from last year's roster together, including lefty David Price, who anchors one of baseball's deepest pitching rotations.
Price and just about everybody else expected the 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner to be traded, however the Rays wound up giving him a $14 million one-year deal, in addition to re-signing first baseman James Loney and landing free agent closer Grant Balfour in moves that represent a big chunk of a club-record payroll of around $80 million.
Andrew Friedman, the team's vice president of baseball operations, also traded for catcher Ryan Hanigan and infielder Logan Forsythe to give Maddon additional flexibility filling out a batting order around Longoria and 2013 AL rookie of the year Wil Myers.
''Talent can't win every game for you, but it's a good start,'' said Loney, who signed a three-year, $21 million deal - largest since Tampa Bay has given to a free agent since Stuart Sternberg became principal owner.
''If we can stay healthy, if we can do the things we're capable of doing,'' second baseman Ben Zobrist add, ''we certainly have as good or better chance than any other team in the league to win it all.''

*Angels-Rays Preview* =====================
By KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer
Los Angeles (63-43) at Tampa Bay (53-55), 7:10 p.m. EDT
With David Price gone, the Tampa Bay Rays will need the rest of their starting rotation to step up if their recent rejuvenation is to continue.
Jeremy Hellickson will try to become a bigger part of it in his third start of the season Friday night when the Rays open a three-game home set with the Los Angeles Angels.
Tampa Bay (53-55), which enters August 7 1/2 games back in the AL East and six back in the wild card race, sent Price to Detroit in a three-team deal Thursday, making Hellickson's role much more prominent as he continues his return from elbow surgery.
He and the rest of the club will be out to show they're capable of continuing to climb toward .500 without Price, whom Hellickson had high praise for just before the deal.
"We need David," Hellickson told MLB's official website on Wednesday. "We're not going to get where we want to be without him. We need him, and I hope to see him Friday."
Hellickson (0-0, 1.00 ERA) allowed five hits in 4 2-3 innings of Saturday's 3-0 win over Boston but is still seeking his first victory since he didn't make it through five innings in a second straight start. He had been following Price in the rotation with the benefit of an often-rested bullpen to fall back on, but that luxury is now gone.
"I wish I could have went longer than one more out than I did last time, but when David throws eight innings every single game, that bullpen's ready to go," Hellickson said. "I've got to get ahead of guys a lot better. I fell behind too much, threw way too many pitches those first two innings. I made a big pitch when I needed to, that was a positive."
The right-hander is 3-1 with a 1.57 ERA in four career starts against the Angels. Josh Hamilton is 2 for 7 with a home run against him, while Albert Pujols is 0 for 5 with three strikeouts.
Tampa Bay's 5-0 loss Wednesday to Milwaukee was just its second in 13 games, a stretch in which the Rays won five straight series. In that time, the pitching staff has a 1.62 ERA and .196 opponent average, including a 0.93 mark and .141 average from the bullpen.
The Angels (64-43), though, might be confident Matt Shoemaker (8-3, 4.13) can hang with those numbers. Shoemaker is coming off arguably his best start in the big leagues, tossing seven innings while surrendering three hits and earning the decision in Saturday's 4-0 win over Detroit.
"It's definitely a confidence builder. It's a blessing and a lot of fun," he said.
Of more relevance to the Rays might be Shoemaker beating Price on May 18 after limiting Tampa Bay to a run and two hits in six innings of a 6-2 win. The Angels took three of four in the May 15-18 series.
More recently, Los Angeles salvaged one of three in Baltimore with Thursday's 1-0 victory in 13 innings as it elected not to make a splash on a busy deadline day. The Angels are now two games behind Oakland for the AL West lead.
Offense has been a bit of an issue for the Angels with 29 runs scored over a 5-5 stretch. Though that didn't necessarily improve against the Orioles, David Freese at least broke a 3-for-29 slump with a 4-for-5 night while Mike Trout went 2 for 5 in response to a 2-for-19 dip.
The Rays' James Loney has reached base in 19 straight games, while Evan Longoria is 3 for 23 over seven games.
