Kole might be my favorite Angel (other than Trout, of course) - and I've been a long-time advocate of him. That said, my one concern is that if you look at 2014, he was absolutely incredible - Ruthian - for about a 30 game stretch, but before and after that he was rather average. He might always be streaky, but hopefully he can have more hot streaks.

Scioscia is getting pretty philosophical in his old age.  Maybe he's been hanging around C.J. too much.

His t-shirt is absolutely amazing, and I will own it very soon. #raspberryraker

Fixed.

"I'm willing to put a substantial amount of money on the fact that if he [were] 6-foot-4, he would have been a first-round pick," Iannetta says. "He probably wouldn't have even gone to college. Just look at the tools he has. Power, speed, arm. He can hit. Great guy, no character issues. What else is there?"

 

I think Chris snuck  jab in there.

I mentioned my concerns for Calhoun lending off .., his numbers were way down the second half last season.

I laughed at the notion of Giavotella leading off ... might have to eat crow on that one.

Calhoun's one of my favorite players too, and it's nice to see him getting some positive mentions in the media. He seems to be overlooked a lot in the press. Ianetta's observations were really perceptive.

Love Calhoun, one of many great guys on the team. Am glad he's getting the opportunity to play every day, because he deserves it.

 

Knew the second I saw him, how he resembled a "bigger" Darin Erstad, that he was gonna be a good ballplayer, and have been pulling for him ever since.
