Practice, practice we talking about practice come on practice. You can practice all you want after season. Experiences is what will count get him 60 games now that's the best practice.

Never mind......it would be like trying to get a frog to drink water with their mouth.

What about the restraining order he has on you?

we'll properly social distance from 1000 feet, so it's all good.

I should probably have my attorney start working on ending the order. perhaps you know him.

Does anyone actually think he’s gonna play every game starting on opening day?

He’ll get 35 games tops, which is not enough to see if he’ll be the everyday guy in 2021. Had they had a full season and he got say 85 games then I could see him being the everyday guy.

I do not think he will be starter in RF but I wish he was for the experience and his development. He is a very special player.

Sit Simmons?  Why stop there, sit Trout since Adams will be a CFer at some point.  

I say sit Simmons because he will not be signed in off season. Teams are going to cut payroll and any money Moreno spends should be on pitching. Fletcher will be SS in 21.

Trout is signed for his career with Angels. My point is let players that are this teams future play in these 60 games.

This is idiotic. The regular season is not a time for evaluation, it's the time to play the players who give the team the best chance to win. How do you not understand this? I've seen some really stupid posts from you lately. Are you trolling or simply clueless?

Win what this year? Players that Angels future should be playing. Simmons will not be signed this off season, teams will be looking to cut payroll. Besides I think Adell is halos best option in RF for this shortened season. Put Adell in RF and Fletcher at SS.

[Stradling]

I have no idea if Simmons will get an extension or not. But if they can agree on a contract it’s in the Angels best interest to do so.  

[Stradling]

Fletcher is a 2nd baseman that can play SS.

I'm saying with this virus in the off season teams will not be spending. Teams may be letting players go that are going to arbitration. Things are not normal who knows by next season if fans will be allowed in stands or in a limited capacity. Teams are going to cut payroll anyway they can. I love Simmons as a player but he will not be back.

[Vlad27Trout27]

Look if and when Adell is ready, he'll be on the team. On that note, if we can get an extra cheap year for Adell we should do it. 

Michael Kopech , he's sitting out for this year, and i get it. But the white Sox wasted two years of team control. He has one more year of team control, before gettting expensive

Who gives you best chance to win in RF, Maddon taking long look at Adell

New CBA after 2021 so things will change with that. How do you know a player is ready or not?

You don't know what changes will come, stop pretending you do. 

As far as knowing when a guy is ready or not..  I'd say someone not striking out 30% of the time he steps into a batters box is a pretty solid starting point.   We have all seen what he's done in the minors, the times he's struggled he then mastered the level and moved up.   So far we have only seen him struggle in AAA...  

[Angels 1961]

Many players have a strike out rate of 30% in  this age of HR baseball. The problem is one of the top prospect in all of baseball will not be playing this year. I feel Adell is a very special player with his speed and defense he would provide. Nobody knows if this season is going to take place or let alone 2021. Only way to improve is play. Use games we have to improve as no minor league games this year. Yes changes are coming with new CBA. May be good for players or bad, hell next season may be canceled way things are going. I do know attendance will be down in all sports if they play next year.

[Vlad27Trout27]

hold up hold up. on a serious note, got ask, how old are you kid? you sound like your new to this baseball thing.

 

like you want us to sit our 2nd/3rd best player these past few years, for a rookie that has 0 MLB experience, and struggled in Triple A..... Like this isnt how Baseball works.

Aaron Judge at 36% look at Acuna, Pete Alonso, Harper. what I'm saying you cannot just go K% to know if someone is ready. Let him play

I want to sit Simmons and Pujols, Simmons will not be resigned for next year as teams will be cutting payroll. Pujols just needs to go. This 60 game season if it is played should be used to help one of the top prospect in baseball to improve. Adell did not play that many games at AAA last year. I'm just saying let our best prospect play other wise just  a wasted year for Adell. This is not a normal year for baseball we do not know how much time Trout will miss or if he will opt out. Who do you want in RF in this covid season? What I'm saying let's use the 60 games for the future.

Sitting Simmons is such a stupid idea. 

It's Hofstra stupid.

It depends how you look at this season. 60 games to win a world series? Simmons I love as a player but this off season being a free agent will not be pretty. Unless we have a total change with covid owners will not be spending money. Attendance in 2021 will be down if we have a season. Use the 60 games to help players who are the future, Adell, Thaiss and Fletcher. Just my opinion.

Baseball also has fans in the stands and we are not having that. 

[Stradling]

So this is Simmons last year?  Since owners won’t be spending money Simmons and all available free agents will be forced to retire because owners won’t spend money.  That sucks for that pitching we need.
