The Angels jumped into the replacement-player frenzy by announcing tryout camps the next two weekends and then conceded that they’re not looking forward to fielding a strike-replacement team.

“I don’t think you’ll have a lack of intensity, but you’ll definitely have a lack of ability,” Bavasi said.

The camps will begin Jan. 20 at Cal State Fullerton. The Angels require that amateur players must be 20-24 years of age, be out of high school and have no collegiate eligibility remaining. There are no restrictions for former professional players. For further information: (800) 514-1068.
