There's not a whole lot more he needs to prove in the minors.

I would disagree with that as he (Cowart) had a couple of really bad years with the bat in the minors and in 8 minor league seasons he hit .257.

In parts of 3 ML seasons he's hitting .197.

Unfortunately Cowart is a good field no hit player.

He had a lot of promise but just wasn't able to produce.

Maybe he's one of the PTNBL for Morris or Almonte, but his new parent club doesn't have a spot open at the time and they agreed to hold off completing?

Could be. He is from Georgia too.

That makes some sense....we'll see....

I think it would be great if they turned him back to a pitcher.

That's my hope - he stayed behind in AZ and is going the Brett Eibner/Anthony Gose route. 

Even if he just becomes the 7th RP/UT IF he'd have value on most benches.

Yep, the Angels front office was inspired by Ohtani and they are going to try to see if Kaleb can be a reliever and still start in the field...

That way, when he's recalled, he can be mediocre at both hitting and pitching at the MLB level

Apparently he can throw hard but....

[fan_since79]

How about we trade him for Kaleb Fontenot, in Class A+ with Texas. A pitcher. Pretty decent numbers.

One Kaleb for another.

Broken bone in his foot from a minor league spring training game a couple weeks ago.

About time, Fletch. 

@Dochalo and the board was starting all kinds of conspiracies. 

[Dick B Back]

So Costco’s loss, right?

[tomsred]

I love how you guys write off a player as useless, but actually think that you can trade him for something actually useful.  Most GM's aren't dumb, with the exception of the one in Seattle.

Cowart and Baldoquin for...I dunno.  Whoever.  DiPoto would wet his pants.

I have to say i think the "who cares" comments are a little.... well they are what they are i guess. 

[Dick B Back]

Someone cares or this thread would never have been started, right?

This makes sense, as even though Marte was hot with the bat, I thought it was Cowart's job, because his lefty infield bat off the bench made more sense to me than another corner infielder (As Valbuena is already on the roster, even though he's a quasi-starter, he wouldn't start if the best 9 were all starting, so...). And then even when Kinsler went down they went with Fontana instead of Cowart.

Throw in Ward.

[jasonarita51]

Update: He's on the DL with a broken foot. 

[Troll Daddy]

I don’t get all the love for Cowart vs all the hate for Mathis. 

Mathis is clearly a better value.

Cowart, Baldoquin, and Ward for Paxson

[Chris]

Cowart, Baldoquin, and Ward for the Mariners top 20 prospects.  Seems fair.

Aren't like 6 of their top 20 prospects still playing in Little League?
