BASEBALL DAILY REPORT : ANGELS

UCLA pitcher Pete Janicki, the Angels’ first-round pick in the June draft, remains unsigned. If he chooses to return to school, the Angels lose their claim on him. However, if he decides not to go back, the club can still sign him.

Janicki, of Placentia, dropped out of the Olympic baseball trials because of a sore arm. The cause was later discovered to be a stress fracture.

Dan O’Brien, the Angels’ senior vice president for baseball operations, said signing Janicki is still possible. “Robert Fontaine (the Angels’ scouting director) has continued to talk to them, as recently as last week,” O’Brien said. Janicki’s adviser, Arn Tellem, is on vacation and could not be reached for comment.
