Hopefully this means he's gonna get the nice long look that he's earned.  The Angels don't have anything to lose other then garbage Nick Franklin AB's.

It's his time to secure a starting position for next season. Hope he doesn't blow it, the Angels really do need to replace third base next season, Escobar is on the down escalator of his career

Hoping we sign Moustakas to man 3B for a while. He seems to hit well at Angel Stadium too.

Guy has looked completely lost at the plate whenever called up.

My expectations are very low

Fixed.

Corresponding DL move due to jaw soreness.....

[AngelsLakersFan]

I hope he doesn't realize that this is his shot. The organization has been pretty hesitant to give him chances before now, and a slip up here probably means the Angels will look outside the organization for the next guy.

Granted it was only one game, but he was the hero in Boston earlier in the season going 2-3 with a double, 2 RBI and a walk.

Im not sold on Mistakas at all.

Career .224./.313/.400 in Angel Stadium

Career .247/.295/.423 away from Kauffman Stadium

 

Angel fans are severely overrating Moustakas.

If only we had a road map that would have given us a clue as to when this would occur, we surely would not have wasted so much energy worrying about it....

I'm not either. 

I am however sold on Moustakas.

He looked good during his first call up after the first week as well.

I don't know about his natural God give talent level, but when I first saw him play I saw a guy who had all the physical tools needed to be a great baseball player. Big, strong, very athletic, runs very well, top shelf arm and a fantastic glove. I'm a numbers guy, and for the most part his numbers have not been impressive, but he passes the look test with flying colors.

Maybe it just seems he's hitting key HR's against us is why I thought he kills us. Maybe not. 

That said, he's the best option to man 3B next year if he's not going to be too expensive.

I still think your discussion of Cowart's clock is one of the stupidest things you've ever said, even if you were 100% correct.

That would be a Mistakas. I'm guessing you've got a cupboard of ShamWow and a Magic Bullet as well.

I know it was idiotic even I admit that. As I said before I posted that earlier that day I was double-checking the rules on service time and happened to go look at Cowart's page and decided to do the math and foolishly posted it. HA!

You should've bought a lotto ticket while you were at it.

[Angel Oracle]

Just let him play pretty much everyday.   Pennington's defense has somewhat crapped the couch based on his past, and the hitting ain't all that either.   Franklin?   Ugh!
