Adell 0-5, 2k.  yeesh.  not a good start for him in the AFL.  .053 avg.  

 

[Angelsjunky]

He's been shitty for what, three months now? Hard to feel like it was a good year for him. He missed the first couple months, was really good for a month or two, then has sucked since.

[tdawg87]

Adell is fat.

[AngelStew43]

Be patient.  Willie Mays started 1 for his first 20.  I'm not saying he's the next Mays, I'm saying it is the AFL, maybe he's working on something.

And, according to what I've read about Mays, he was doubting himself after that start.   Durocher mentored him to push beyond that in 1951.

Guess we can let Kole go now. Now we just gotta figure out how to dump Upton so we can start Marsh in the bigs in 2020.

[Inside Pitch]

Sandoval named the 18th best prospect in the PCL,

Adell named Southern League's top prospect -- Marsh 10th best.   This snippet on Marsh is very cool...

More than one scout came away impressed with Marsh’s breadth of tools and his competitive makeup. His own manager lauded his leadership qualities and the way teammates respond to him.

"What he’s done in this league has been solid, but what he brings in the clubhouse is a separator,” Mobile manager David Newhan said.

I know he's target number one in any trade for pitching but I genuinely hope they find a way to keep him.

I think it would be a mistake to trade him.

Yep, people forget he missed his first season due to the back issue -- prior to that baseball was his other sport.  He's not Adell, but there are parts of his game that are better than Adells.   The talk of clubhouse presence and the sort just ups his status to me.

there's an element of consistency in his approach that I really like.  He doesn't seem as prone to major swings in production.  We know he's an excellent defensive OFer with a really good arm and the leadership ability could be the icing on the cake.  

The idea that he might be expendable because we've already got Adell isn't something I agree with.  

[BadDog]

Was super stoked when I saw him walking down to the back fields.  He's signing a ball for my son here.  Even had a conversation with my son.  Great guy.  Wishing him the best and crossing my fingers that it is with us!  

[Second Base]

Again, the only info I have which is what we collectively have because it's been shared is that Brandon Marsh was not on the negotiating table in trades.

So the Angels either aren't willing to discuss him with other teams at all, or no one has offered anything that would warrant paying this price.

I don't believe Brandon Marsh will be traded. I think the Angels will find a spot for him. I don't know how that will happen. Maybe Upton moves to 1B and DH with Adell in LF and Marsh is RF, maybe Upton is traded, maybe Marsh moves to 1B....

Either way, I expect Marsh will be in our lineup everyday beginning in 2021.

[Angelsjunky]

I think we'll see Marsh in 2020 at some point, or at least I hope so, with 2021 being when he's a regular.

From what i gather Marsh will likely hit for a higher average and have more walks, and also has a better arm than Adell. Similar speed and defense. Adell has a lot more power.

So while Adell is the better prospect, Marsh has a more well-rounded tool-set and if Adell doesn't iron out his kinks (don't say it), Marsh could end up being a better player.

[Vlad27Trout27]

I do think that Adell and Marsh are the untouchables in out system, I'm on the edge with C-Rod, do to his Injury history, but when he's healthy is stuff is good. 

I would not be surprised to see Marsh and Adell up sometime's next year.

Didn’t Eppler say at the deadline that he put everyone’s name in trade discussions other than one guy (obviously Adell)?

[Chuck]

Jo Adell is on fire. All three of our prospects in fact are on fire in tonight's game, running wild on the bases tonight too. 

The game still going too: http://mlb.mlb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?gid=2019_09_29_msswin_obrwin_1&t=g_box&sid=l119

Marsh seems like he's been a beast! good to see Jones carring his 2nd half turn around and nice to see Adell turning it on.

Sweet. I can't wait to hear the excitement over a player nobody has ever seen play.

And the disappointment when someone else takes someone they haven't seen...
