I think Calhoun could, as a back up....Not sure but I think he played some CF in the minors....

O thought Kole played a little CF his 2nd season.

Ted Williams would have agreed.

That's a pretty bad stretch for Ted.... he was also 40 years old and would retire a year later.

Would someone break down a general Calhoun at bat? I don't see the Angels much. I'm also wondering what management is potentially saying to him. You know he's trying, but this doesn't make any sense. You have to assume he isn't hurt. 

They aren't pretty. If he called in to get some tech support done on his broken at bats the first thing they'd ask him would be if he had his eyes opened...

Why not? Ever gone to mlb streams Reddit? You can watch any game you want.

Or buy an Amazon Fire TV and watch MLB.tv for free on your television

I go the other direction with it AJ.  The team is winning, keep playing Kole.  If he doesn’t turn it around in the next month or so, then you fill that hole with a trade, not with Jabari Blash.  You bring up Blash if you have an injury, not because you think he is an upgrade.  This team has playoff aspirations, you don’t do that with a starting RF of Blash.  

I agree

I tr s not that simplistic.  It's the likelihood of Calhoun producing more than the AAA player in question this point forward.  Calhoun has way more upside than anyone and the floor may not be that much of an improvement.

I can't wait for the day Storm quits using a teletype to post and his spellcheck refuses this jibberish.

Cole takes a lot of deep breaths as he settles in - he has the look of someone going to the gallows, and just wanting to get it over with - just hoping he can die well, at least - and maybe not poop his pants.   He's looks "out" before the first pitch is thrown.    

His swing kinda reminds me of that line from Tin Cup?  "My swing feels like an unfolding lawn chair."  Like that - I've seen him swing late at an 88 mph fastball.  I think he'd be late on a knuckleball.  Or a whiffleball. 

His bat appears depressed, and seems to be growing a douche beard out of moss.  He once swung the bat at the ground in disgust - and missed.  

No idea what they're saying to him - should probably start with "You're feeling veeerrrryy sleeeppppyyy..." - he looks a basket case, mentally.

He’s just trying to keep @EnglishCop gamefully employed.

Funny thing is there is probably 80, 85 million (annually) tied up in these 10 guys

Really surprised Scioscia has parked him....a couple of games maybe but not four in a row...Scioscia has never been quick to pull the plug on anybody....

Still not as bad as Peter Bourjos who's hitting .125/.185/.160/.345

Grichuk is doing quite bad as well .106/.208/.227/.435

[Blarg]

So you're saying Salas for Grichuck wasn't so bad after all?
