Grant Green down. Cory Rasmus up.

The favoritism of veterans never seizes to amaze me

Crazy that .359 doesn't get you a spot on the Angels roster but .143 gets you into the everyday lineup.

Green gave the #Angels lots of versatility, but Cron can DH almost every day, unless matchup favors Ibanez, and occasionally spell Pujols.

I'm genuinely curious what matchups favor Ibanez at this point.

[tennischmp]

I'm almost hoping Ibanez gets hurt

Nah, I'm hoping he discovers a hobby he's really passionate about and leaves baseball to pursue that.

This makes absolutely zero sense.

[EcksteinSpawn]

What a joke.

[Halo4life714]

Man..it's things like this that make me wonder if there serious about winning. C'mon man this should not be so hard. Why do we have to be so difficult with these types of decisions.

[jshep]

So we get to start calling Ibanez Scioscia AND Dipoto's toy at this point, right?

That's fine too although chances are higher he pulls something

Yep this ones on Dipoto. A fireable offense if you ask me.

[martinpa25]

I'm more pissed off that rasmus was called up rather than somebody else..we've seem rasmus before and he's complete garbage

[NrM]

The hilarious thing is, even if Ibanez miraculously turns things around, what can we expect out of him?

A .750 OPS? Grant Green could easily put up those numbers while also being able to play 3b, RF/LF and 2b.

[FabulousFabregas]

Scioscia is an ageist.

[red321]

Laugh at calling it a firable offense.

 

I don't care for this move. I understand wanting to have a left handed bat on the bench, but at this point I think it's pretty clear Ibanez is not going to produce. If you want that left handed bat off the bench you can pick someone up for a minor leaguer and get more production than you are getting for Ibanez. He was a cheap pickup who looked like he could provide some value...ain't happening.

 

But calling it a firable offense? laugh. Some people are funny. Over react much.

The fact that Dipoto remains unfired actually suggests to me that this one is on Moreno.

[jshep]

Looking forward to watching Ibanez continue to suck, while also racking up those incentives they put in his contract!

 

But at least everyone involved won't have their feelings hurt and will get a chance to save face, because after all, isn't that more important than "winning baseball games"?

[Frieri Meatball]

Watch them send Cron down once Ian Stewart is healthy. @_@

[NrM]

Honestly wouldn't surprise me if that's their plan.

Why the hell is Ian Stewart still with the org if that wasn't the case.

[Ohtaniland]

Chris Sale hasn't given up a hit to a left handed batter all season 0-34 so who needs a hot hitting .359 right handed batter in their lineup? We do!

Well on the bright side, at least Ibanez isn't in there either!

**** this shit. Seriously. **** this.
