Brennan Boesch

[KevinJ14]

He's been absolutely tearing it up as of late. Today I believe he's 3-3 with a 2B and a HR

[ten ocho recon scout]

Whos more valuable, him or navarro?

And im asking not to sound snide, but navarro can play multi positions and seems to work counts. Is BB just an OF?

[JAHV76]

His bat was flying during the Fresno series

[DoubleOffTheWall]

Navarro has sucked recently.

I want green up as DH when he gets back

[laagamer]

I don't think Navarro not producing enough offensively is our problem right now.

Boesch has played a little bit of 1B as well, no idea if he's actually any good.

 

He's a pretty poor defensive OF though.

Sounds like something Scioscia would say.

Might want to give him some DH ab's.....would be an upgrade over Hamilton but that's not happenin'.....

I don't know about that, as frustrating as Hamilton is, Boesch's major league numbers are uninspiring.

 

He's having a fine season in Salt Lake, but how much should a good age 29 season in the hitter friendly confines of the PCL change our opinion of a guy with over 1500 major league PAs to his name?

Call him up and sit Hamilton until he figures shit out.

I still trust Navarro more than Josh Hamilton at the plate right now.

Good news about Hamilton is he's no longer whiffing on pitches several feet outside the strike zone. The bad news is now he's badly missing on pitches inside the strike zone.

jshep:  Chuck has my thought, though we all know Sciioscia would never do it....Hamilton needs to sit down for awhile and Boesch is a better option right now....not for a career but right now....the Braves have started playing Bonafacio over BJ Upton  so you never know, I guess....

Hamilton will have a hard time figuring things out on the bench ... but a rest (clear his head) would not be a bad idea.

A Rip Van Winkle rest, for about 3 years, would be ok.....just in time for his contract to expire....

[TroutCron]

Hamilton has to decide if playing baseball is. Fun anymore. He just looks like a guy who would rather be anywhere but in the barter's box. He is emotionless. He might be on antidepressants. There just seems to be no fire in the gut.

[KevinJ14]

Brennan walks in his first plate appearance of the night. That's 10 straight times on base, equaling the franchise record.

 

Boesch's stretch since the start of Saturday: 7-for-7, 3 walks, 1 single, 4 doubles, 2 home runs, 6 RBI, 2 stolen bases, 3 runs scored

 

Via @SaltLakeBees twitter.

 

Also I think he was named player of the week or month or something

[AngelsFaninGA]

No. We've really gotten desperate if Boesch is considered a viable option. What next, Ian Stewart?

Why don't you just say he sucks.

[KevinJ14]

...and he's getting called up.

[Angel Oracle]

At this point, even Mathisn't is probably more reliable than HamilWhiffATon.

Brennan Boesch - Recalled from Salt Lake Caleb Clay - Optioned to Salt Lake. #angels

[jshep]

I'll always remember the Caleb Clay era.

 

Farewell, old friend.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

He's the DH tonight and he's batting seventh.

[YouthofToday]

Brennan has been freed. Long live Brennan.*

*until his first failed opportunity with RISP or a 0-4 night. Then he will have an AngelsWin scarlet letter.
