Cron Recalled

[Ocangelfan]

spring training cron could save our offense and lots of prospects including himself.   he has to know this is kinda it for him in that regard w/ deadline approaching and seeing his name attached even if its us attaching it

I keep fooling myself every time I think Cron can become the hitter we've seen in Salt Lake and Spring Training. It's fools gold, though. Everyone in Salt Lake are crushing the ball, and I suspect that's due to the PCL being a hitter's league (Even Cowart is hitting .308). 

 

The reality is that Cron will continue struggling in the big leagues, and won't ever become the hitter we want him to become. 

 

I'd love to be wrong, though. Gaining a power hitter in the lineup would make the Angels 1-2 acquisitions away from becoming a great team.

I wish the Angels recalled that Cron sucks.

Cron had an OPS+ of 111 in 253 PA in 79 games last year. He's looked terrible during this year's regular season but it would be jumping to conclusions to say that he has no potential. It's not like the Angels are tearing it up at the DH spot. Might as well give him another try, IMO.

I kind of hate Cron.

 

He's shitty, he's a dick to kids and he's funny looking.

 

He hates puppies and his mama dresses him funny too.

I hear Cron hangs out at Roger Dunn during the offseason.

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.

 

joyce needs to go. He's been consistent .180 against all comers. isn't replacement level better than that?

[Ocangelfan]

if we can get him to dup last years output for our last half of season...would be great

[Dick B Back]

I think I read somewhere that RH average against CC this year is over .330 so they figured Cron should be able to hit him.

[Stradling]

Has there been a prospect that AngelsWin has given up on quicker than CJ Cron? I think he is universally disliked on here. He had a solid rookie season where he hit 11 homers, and batted over .250 in about 250 at bats. Obviously he has things that limit him, mainly his inability to take a walk. But if he put up those numbers this year he would be our third best hitter.

I'll say it again, if Cron hits as he's able to, he'll fix a lot of problems this offense has. He'd slit quite nicely into the 5-spot.

That's grown into one ginormous "if" though.

I thought the slit was the 5 spot.

Cron had an .870 ops thru his first 150 pa last year.  33k/6bb.  

 

Then, for his next 100 pa he had a .528 ops with 28k/4bb.

 

In the last calendar year he's had 239 pa .207/.243/.295 with a -1.5 WAR.  

 

At SLC this year 1.014 ops with 4bb in near 100pa

 

 

If a pitcher throws him anything even remotely close to the strike zone, they are the dumbest pitcher in the history of baseball.

He can get arrested for showing that to kids.........oh wait, I reread that.  Carry on.

[Angel Oracle]

And he homers tonight.

[Docwaukee]

And he homers tonight.

he got ahead in the count and they decided to challenge him with a fastball in the zone.  what a novel concept. 

[Ocangelfan]

there we go problem solved!

I agree. The guy jumped up to the majors quickly with little to no time in AAA due to a team need and has had a trial by fire. Not everybody can be like Trout and take to that major league level like a fish to water. Bad pun intended.
