"I like my teammates. I like the coaches. I want to make this club. I want to do what I'm capable of doing," Moseley said. "I want to put up some solid innings for the guys."

With the fifth spot in the Angels rotation open, Moseley is competing with Shane Loux and Nick Adenhart. The winner should hang around at least until Kelvim Escobar is ready to rejoin the rotation.

With Escobar and ace John Lackey injured last spring, Moseley won a job out of camp, but was replaced by Adenhart after posting a 1-2 record and a 7.30 ERA after five starts. He knows he'll have to be better than last year.

"I was behind on the count all last year," Moseley said. "There's a lot of good competition. These guys are throwing the ball real well. Shane (Loux) threw the ball real well yesterday. Adenhart's got a great arm. It's all about production. If I don't produce and I don't put up numbers, they'll find other guys to do it."

After Moseley struck out three, Adenhart allowed a run over two innings. Both pitchers want to be better than Royals starter Gil Meche was Sunday in his first outing of the spring.

Meche, the Royals' opening-day starter the past two seasons, was roughed up for four hits and three runs in one inning.

"I had one inning to throw, but I felt like I threw three," said Meche, 14-11 with a 3.98 ERA last season. "It wasn't the outcome that you would have wanted, but my body felt good."

David DeJesus had two of Kansas City's 10 hits. Terry Evans had two of the Angels nine hits. Royals manager Trey Hillman wasn't worried over Meche's tough beginning.

"We dont have any concerns other than just getting him going and getting him to locate pitches better," Hillman said. "He wasn't real sharp. The ball got out of his hand real good. He had good angle. Obviously, he spun it good. He just wasn't real sharp with is command."

Notes: The Royals announced that six players left camp to play for their respective World Baseball Classic teams. They are: Joakim Soria (Mexico), Mark Teahen (Canada), Miguel Olivo and Jose Guillen (Dominican Republic), Mike Aviles (Puerto Rico) and Lenny DiNardo (Italy). ... Royals RF Jose Duarte received a standing ovation after robbing Matt Brown of an extra-base hit with a diving catch in right-center field to end the Angels sixth.
