Sometime between April and September.

So he won’t be up for the first 5 games

[floplag]

Im guessing Aug.
As much as we here want him to be ready, the fact that we almost traded for Pederson suggests maybe hes not quite as close as we think or hope he is.Could be sooner, June, July if hes tearing up up and/or Goodwin struggles, but i wouldnt guess any sooner that that as best case.

No, he will not.

[Dtwncbad]

I am thinking his mlb debut will be the day after his last AAA game.

[T.G.]

Most (so far)  think he'll be up in May of this season.

I really don't know - but I think you guys are jumping the gun....

[Dtwncbad]

You are reading it wrong.  People are saying he “May” come up.

[ScottT]

I hope he tears it up in spring training, makes his debut on Opening Day, and is one of these guys that plays at a high level from day one.  You never know, but these days there seems to be more young players that make an immediate impact.

I believe this is way off.  Pederson wasn’t the target, he was the cost of getting Stripling.  Dodgers we’re clearing salary.  Adell will be here June at the latest.

Very well could be true, i hope im wrong as it means hes tearing it up and earned it.

I say sometime in June. An injury will happen and he will be up. The Angels won't push him up at the beginning of the year because they will already be in 1st and Goodwin and Upton will be playing well. 

[Taylor]

No matter when he gets called up, people will complain that we're "wasting him."

[TheOGGabyC]

I wonder if Jo Adell’s call-up will be linked to When Ohtani starts to take the mound in May, as this will open up more at bats in the line up and make it easier to find a spot for him.

May 20th.

4/11

If he’s not up Opening Day, it’ll be because he’s not ready. I don’t think they’ll screw around with service time stuff. It’d be pointless at this time.

So if he’s not ready Opening Day (likely), then I doubt he’s up by May unless it’s the end of May, which makes June or July probably the best bet. 

[nando714]

Wasn’t he hurt a majority of last season? 
 

I say they take their time with him . June / July call up 

unless there’s major injuries 

[Tyler]

Hopefully opening day so he gets a real opportunity for rookie of the year award.

I do think it will be May. I think he will have a mediocre spring, but get on fire in AAA and get called up.

[TheUPSman]

I'm going with July. The Angels will try to keep him in the minors as long as possible this year, but hopefully Jo forces their hand by tearing it up in AAA.

[Dick B Back]

I voted that he makes the opening day roster.

Adell will hit well in ST and then some outfielder will stub his toe.

Artie did not trade for Pederson because Adell will be ready opening day.
