Conger stays with Angels
Federal Way native Hank Conger found a home with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim from day one of the season this year.
Conger, a catcher who has only been with the Angels for parts of seasons only, made the Angels' opening day roster after hitting .359 (14-for-39) in spring training with two doubles, one triple and four home runs while driving in 16 runs and scoring eight.
Ishikawa sent to Norfolk
Travis Ishikawa, a product of Federal Way High School, was assigned to the Baltimore Orioles' minor league camp after spending spring training with the Major League Baseball team.
Ishikawa is expected to start at first base for the Orioles' Class AAA team in Norfolk.
He hit .257 (9-for-35) this spring after signing a minor league contract with the Orioles over the winter. He has previous experience with the San Francisco Giants -- including their 2010 World Series championship team -- and last year was with the Milwaukee Brewers.
