Background: Schoeneweis enjoyed one of the healthiest seasons of his life last year and was rewarded with a place on the 40-man roster. His first full pro season (1997) was interrupted by rib cage problems, while his college career at Duke was marred by Tommy John surgery and treatment for testicular cancer. Strengths: Schoeneweis has four average major league pitches; his fastball and slider are his best weapons. He can flash above-average action on his slider and 91-92 mph occasionally on his fastball. Weaknesses: Schoeneweis gets his strikeouts with his slider but allows a lot of hits with his fastball, which lacks the key late movement that can throw off better hitters. There always will be questions hanging over Schoeneweis about his durability. The Future: The Angels will give Schoeneweis a chance to make their rotation this spring. He is an excellent competitor and has compiled a 26-16 record in his 2 1/2 years as a professional.
