Gotta be one of the crappy relievers getting DFA'd would've happened before Thursday anyways as the rosters are being cut to 28.

Many to choose from. Only tough choice is which ones we HAVE to keep.

Can’t wait.

This franchise could use some good news. Here's hoping that Ohtani's MRI came back fine and he'll be good to go as the DH and that Adell was called up because Justin Upton has decided to opt out of the season.

This is such a stupid take.

Time to see what this amazing Uber can't miss prospect can do.

I hope this is the case!

It's Jo-time!

I know, that's terrible.

Hopefully this is one thing that goes the Angels way.  Fucking nothing else is really.

more time to work on his outfield defense

Salary aside, I’d rather keep Goodwin’s bat in the lineup than Upton.  As Tommy Lasorda once said about Kurt Bevaqua (probable misspelling of last name), “he couldn’t hit water if he fell off a boat.”  Upton looks lost at the plate.  He looks unable to hit a breaking ball.  I hope I’m wrong about Upton but right now he’s not helping the offense.

by that definition, then we're about to lose 6 or 7 relief pitchers.

A bit harsh, but I agree about the Upton-bashing. I think he's actually looked pretty good but just been a victim of bad luck so far.

Yep, it’s just bad luck that he continues to try and pull everything and that the ball just somehow keeps missing his bat.

Question, how many balls has he hit hard so far?    He’s already K’d 14 times in 10 games.  His BBs/Ks ratio is a horrible 3/14.

Hell, I'm surprised it's that good. I would have lost money on that.

Angels lose 2nd extra inning game - Season Over!

 

Angels bring up Jo Adell - Season Not Over!

Adell has a lot of learning to go to live up to the hype. I think some people believe he is going to put up Trout rookie year numbers and are in for a reality check.

The first time he makes an athletic play in RF people are going to be pissed he wasn’t up before.  

[NrM]

Wow glad he could fix his issues with defense so quickly..

what a stud!

True, but he couldn’t be any worse than what Upton has been.

[Blarg]

He is not replacing Upton.

He's definitely been pull happy, but a .091 BABIP is pretty freaking unreal too.    Still better than Yelich's .000 BABIP.....    I dont think I had ever seen that before but there it is ...
