Jo Adell... All Day

[T.G.]

I think it's time to give this guy his own thread... let the hype begin... or rather continue.

Check out his diary on ESPN:

Nice to see the stuff Middleton and Ramirez said to him.   Makes it seem like the entire organization knows whats up...  

[T.G.]

It's exciting to think about what he could be.

It's awesome to know he's one of ours.

It's inspiring to see how hard he is willing to work.

The waiting... the anticipation of what is to come... It's like being a kid, waiting for Christmas to get here.

Based on the most recent The Athletic article...  Dude could be President one day...   Incredible person.

Damn, I'm excited for this guy. 

[Stradling]

Totally f’ing legit.

But can he go 7 innings on the mound?

I guess it's a good thing that the minor league pitching has been the high point early on this year....

In this day and age, it's refreshing to read about a young man like Adell.  Gives me hope for the future - not just in baseball, but in life in general. This young man is so mature, so focused, and has has priorities so in line - it's truly amazing.  No doubt what-so-ever, he could be great at just about anything.

[Chuck]

I'm super stoked about Jo Adell. He's everything we love about Mike Trout the human and possibly more. 

Cannot wait to see what he can do on the field as well.. 

[T.G.]

It's an amazing time to be an Angels fan.  Adell reminds me of Trout - not for his athletic ability, but in the way he carries himself as a human being.

[T.G.]

The more I read about Jo Adell the more I'm convinced the world is going to remember him not only for his baseball talent, but for the person he is and the impact he will have on the world, outside of baseball. He truly has the talent and desire to make the world better. And that's something to really get excited about.  To be that young, that talented and yet - have such a clear vision for what he wants to accomplish in every aspect of his life is unbelievable.  It's a testament to his parents, who did a remarkable job raising this young man.  He's already done more for his community and the world around him - than most people do in a lifetime.

Make no mistake about it - the kid is extra special.

They are both so self aware and cognizant of the impact they can have.  Adell is so into his community it's nuts to think he's only 20.

This kid has a great attitude and realizes he's a small fish in a large pond. I love his humility. With that said, please let him heal to 100% before sending him back out there. 

[UndertheHalo]

Hype like this always makes me nervous 

[UndertheHalo]

There was a great article like this in the Athletic the other day as well. 

[Stradling]

If the Angels don’t win in his debut we will all be thankful that there is no team in Louisville Kentucky that he would inevitably sign with, because reasons.  

[PattyD22]

I absolutely can't wait to watch this guy play in the bigs.  I saw him at spring training, and was bummed when he went down with the injury.

Kid is a stud

...and please let him not slip on second base and get hurt anymore. Or any other awkward moves out there. Stay healthy!

There isn’t enough Jo Adell content. Actually, there can never be enough Jo Adell content either.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Is no one at least a little concerned or find it interesting that the Angels hired a "return to performance strength coordinator" nicknamed Juice?

If it can’t get detected and it makes him better I don’t give a shit.

This is what stood out to me as well. It’s nice to see how the big league guys are tuned into the minor leaguers, at least the top prospects.  Though you would have to be living in a cave to not know that Adell is huge for the Angels’ future.  It’s nice of them to say it at least.

Though Cincy is only 2 hrs from Louisville. But I get your point.
