Dallas McPherson will not start the season with the LA Angels.

The Angels thought enough of McPherson to allow power-hitting Troy Glaus to sign a free-agent contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks during the offseason. But McPherson has been limited this spring by a protruding disk in his lower back.

Robb Quinlan will get the starting job instead. He has excellent minor league numbers and has done well with the bat at the major league level in limited playing time. It looks like the Angels will okay at third base no matter whom they start.
