I hate to be the one who has to say this (and I didn't see much of him prior, other than in person last season at ST before he was hurt), but this kid has attitude problem all over him.

From the arguing strikes in his first game, to the pimp walk to the BLM shirt.  I hope I am wrong, but I think we all know i'm right. 

Find him on Twitter or IG and you will feel different about him.  He is Mike Trout mature, but with real aspirations to make a difference.  He has the turkey thing he does where he heads it up with the Louisville Fire Department where they delivery turkeys to needy families.  I could have some of the details mixed up but every single thing I read about him as far as his make up was really positive.  I mean I could be wrong, but he is one of those kids raised by parents that I think were both educators, maybe mom is a principle something like that.

Hey I hope I'm wrong.  We will see.

I am sure this comes across like my typical homer personality, but I will try to find an article about him.

Anaheim is pretty much sea level, so I doubt he will have much of an altitude problem for the home games.

I read cals' post as satire, taking some of the "typical OC white dude" talking points and applying them to Adell. BLM shirt is a non-issue, the other things are qualities that nobody would ever criticize in a white player.

If he starts acting like Bryce Harper, I'll be concerned.

Well, there is the hair thing.

I agree. And his beard makes him look like his name should be Mohammad (Johammad?). I bet he's also lazy.

what a strange take away. everything i've ever seen from this kid is mr. positive and doing things to help people. i couldn't disagree more with your view of him.

this has the air of being an "old fuddy duddy" to me. he's got to follow some old school rules until he earns his place, step in line, don't speak up. his hair is weird, his beard looks islamic. 

old people have been hating on young people since the first generation got old.
