[WallyWorld]

wow, awesome news! i kinda figured he was slightly behind Hamilton, but this is great.

[rageous]

Great news and how far back is Hamilton?

Last I saw...

@MLBMayhem: Los Angeles #Angels outfielder Josh Hamilton, sets a return date between May 23rd-26th.

[Make Angels Great Again]

This is feeling like they're coming back sooner than expected.

 

Having said that, setbacks are on the horizon.

[Reveille1984]

Ginger Power!

[Stradling]

So Calhoun before Hamilton?

[rick99gtp]

Wow.  This is great news.  Though, I really love having Cowgill in the lineup.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Hopefully he doesn't miss a beat when he's back.

Great news.

Let's keep the positive mojo going

Kole is in Reno tonight for his first rehab!!! F yeah!!!!!

[Don]

Awesome. I hope everything goes well and he gets back soon. That being said, I wonder who gets sent down. All I know is that I want to ride this hot start by Cowgill for as long as possible. He's definitely earned his way into the lineup.

[Jason]

If Cowgill is still hot he should stay in the line up and Calhoun as depth. Glad he's coming back as it makes the team better.

Lets not get carried away with Cowgill. The guy has no power and has only 1 stolen base. He is a 4th outfielder and nothing more.

A 4th outfielder with one of the best OBP in baseball right now. At least ride him until he's not producing. Play the hot hand.

[RenoHalo]

Was there for 3 AB tonight for Kole. He looked great. 1st inning fouls off 3 tough pitches, works the count to 3-2, then smokes a line drive into the RCF gap for a 2B, 3rd AB smokes another liner into CF for a 1B. Nice kid too..

[rafibomb]

So far Calhoun is 2-3 with a double and a run scored.

I really wish Ibanez would be released when Calhoun and Hamilton get back, but I might as well wish for a unicorn while I'm at it.

[Erstad Grit]

Adding these guys will be like making a mid season trade. Ahhhhh the Stoneman years  

[RePLAY]

I don't mind Ibanez being here. ..He needs to just be our PH.

[Don]

Cowgill should DH. Scoscia has actually ignored the stigma of a DH needing to hit HRs in the past, so there's a chance, but he has also been completely oblivious to the fact that a .422 OBP is good and continues to use Ibanez. So Cowgill probably will get benched.

To me it goes Calhoun, Cowgill, Cron, and Ibanez for those two spots. As in Ibanez should never play...

Dead on man.

[SoWhat]

Calhoun 2-3 with a HR tonight

Calhoun 2-3 with a HR tonight

Great.

Can't wait till we see the ginger back in the lineup.
