<p>SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Josh Hamilton ran the bases at the Angels' Spring Training complex for the first time on Saturday morning, and Angels manager Mike Scioscia said he "felt great" doing so.</p><p>Running the bases is the final step in Hamilton's recovery from a strained left calf, which he suffered during a baserunning drill on Feb. 25. If he doesn't feel uncommon soreness on Sunday, the Angels' outfielder could make his Cactus League debut as early as Monday -- the Angels' third and final split-squad day, with the home game coming against the Giants.</p><p>But Scioscia was non-committal when asked specifically about a Monday return, saying: "We're looking at at least one recovery day, and then we'll see where he is. But early next week is when we're anticipating him being ready to play." Trout looking to pounce early at plate</p><p>SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Few guys have been in as many deep counts as Mike Trout these last two years. Only eight of them have had more plate appearances with a full count; only six have hit with two strikes more often. The approach is a credit to Trout's comfort with two strikes, but it's one that also leads to a lot of walks and strikeouts, limiting the star-studded outfielder's ability to drive in runs.</p><p><a href="http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20140315&content_id=69383694&notebook_id=69383700&vkey=notebook_ana&c_id=ana">Keep reading...</a></p>
