Cron Recalled

[nando714]

Let's try this again

@MikeDiGiovanna It appears the #Angels have recalled 1B/DH C.J. Cron for tonight's game vs. #Yankees and LHP CC Sabathia.

@MikeDiGiovanna In his most recent stint with triple-A Salt Lake, CJ Cron hit four HRs that either tied the game or put Bees ahead. #Angels

Ha.  Why?  How is he even going to get playing time?

Starting at first base tonight

[jsnpritchett]

Yep, just saw that as I was posting the lineup in the Gameday Thread...Wonder who was sent down?

[hen3ry]

Kuby was sent down yesterday after the game.  I'd've thunk they'd bring up someone who can play middle infield and hit higher than their weight in junior high, but, obviously not...

 

Then again I see Aybar's starting today, so I guess they don't see the urgency.  (and Featherston's fine as a late inning sub.  Got a good sniper arm on that kid.)

Ah, yeah...Already forgot about Kubitza.  Thanks for the reminder!

One day, the Angels will get it through their head that Cron sucks ass.

[Make Angels Great Again]

By the way, does it seem like Cron has had more chances to fail than any other young guy ever under Scioscia?

[Tyler]

Hopefully he brought his bat with him this time.

 

Get it going all ready, guy.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Recalled... Like spoiled milk or tainted meat.

[hen3ry]

It's just like with BWood.  The Angels are not able to wrap their heads around the fact that a guy who looks like he has a ton of talent just... doesn't.   Someone's eyeball test is failing them.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Cron hasn't accomplished even half of what Wood did in the minors.

or a defective air bag

[RenoHalo]

Well, I'm rooting for the prick to start driving the ball. I'll just do it in silence, away from my kid.

Well that's fair.  Wood hasn't accomplished half of what Cron has in the majors.

Just have Cron (lefties) and Joyce (righties) share DH, which leaves LF to be upgraded with a defense/SBs first guy. 

And feel free to never, eeever start them in the field.

Navarro has 1B tied down, when Pujols DHs.

They both suck.

[fan_since79]

As soon as he figures out how to hit a major league curve ball and lay off the unhittable breaking pitches, he'll be okay.

 

That could be a long time.

[fan_since79]

They both suck.

 

But Wood managed to hit 176 home runs in the minors.

[Hollyw00d]

Bats like straight ball very much

[Ray McKigney]

Curve ball, bats are afraid.

The offense is saved
