Kaleb Cowart called up

[Oz27]

And Gillaspie DFA'd...

[Tyler]

This is good. Give him a taste of the bigs and keep him motivated in his comeback year for future impact.

Good job Cowart. You look a helluva lot better at the plate than you did earlier in the year at IE.

[Homebrewer]

Good for him. Hope he gets some playing time.

[Tyler]

Batting ninth tonight for the start at 3rd.

[CanadianHalo]

Yes!!!

Really looking forward to seeing him play

[HaloCory22]

Talk about out of no where. Major props to Cowart for turning his career around. Went from possibly going back to the mound in the offseason to having a breakout 2015 and getting a cup of coffee in the show! I might actually watch the game tonight.

[Oz27]

Good for him. Hope he gets some playing time.

With no Gillaspie anymore he pretty much has to. The only other 3B option is Ryan Jackson.

[Chuck]

Cowart, the 18th overall pick in the 2010 MLB Amateur Draft, has hit .323/.395/.491 with six home runs and 45 RBI in 62 games this season in Triple-A.

[Chuck]

Love this move.

 

Conor Gillaspie put an awful .203/.250/.344 slash line in 68 plate appearances with the Angels.

[Homebrewer]

Nobody left to play 3B...

No pressure, kid!

lol

[tdawg87]

Is Kubitza dead?

 

Not saying I'd rather have him called up but it would seem like he'd be the more likely option.

[mulwin444]

Kubitza was playing LF while Cowart was starting at 3B so maybe he gets promoted if the three amigos continue to collectively suck

[Homebrewer]

They needed a shot in the arm, and Cowart is swinging the hot bat.

I wonder who in the FO made the choice?

[Make Angels Great Again]

Rooting so hard for him.

 

What a great story.

[Chris]

Cool!

[WallyWorld]

Love this move.

wow, I didn't realize he'd been that bad. That's ugly.

[nando714]

Don't mind

Angels need to find out what they have in cowart. He either is the future 3b in 2016 or we're shopping for a 3b

[fan_since79]

Is Freese out for the season?

[HeavenlyHalos]

Pretty much everyone has sucked. Take a look at just how bad it's been this year. Robertson is the only one brought in that made an impression at all, and the only thing he has is a nice batting average. Murphy has shown promise lately as well.

Gillaspie had a few hits early and then faded after that; not good for a guy that is bat > glove

[stormngt]

Love this move.

Really missed Freese!

[fan_since79]

I like Cowart, but before we all get too excited, his line vs. left-handers this year at AAA is

 

.204/.288/.262

 

118 PA

That is horrific, but I guess Jackson starts v LHP.

[fan_since79]

Jackson is 1-15 lifetime vs left-handers.

 

The guy has hardly any at-bats, period.

[fan_since79]

That is horrific, but I guess Jackson starts v LHP.

 

According to the GDT, Cowart is starting tonight.
