The Official 2021 Los Angeles Angels Minor League Stats, Reports & Scouting Thread

[Second Base]

Adell absolutely pissed on that ball. Keep doing this for another month and we'll consider having internal discussions about promoting you at some point in the future. 

[Stradling]

Scotty really hates the showboating.  I wonder why?  Just kidding I know why.  Adell will be up in the next couple of weeks.  

[Second Base]

Also, it's good to have some perspective. It's great and all that Adell leads the league in HR's, but keep in mind, on a rate basis, he's being outhit by Scott Schebler and is batting in a lineup where Luis Rengifo is batting cleanup. Also, he's hitting .270, which is the fourth lowest among regulars on the team. 

I'm just saying, he's got right now, but let him play in AAA for a bit and see how he responds to another slump. Also, just keep getting those reps in LF.

Is there anything wrong with that swing?  

no.  it's really really sound.  Let's hope it translates into his ability to be appropriately selective on what he uses it for.   

[ScottT]

Damn.

I figured the Bees had some guys that would crush it in that league.  I was thinking Schebler and Rojas... maybe Ward.  Then Adell and Marsh.

Yeah, I'm skeptical of Adell becoming an MLB star.... mostly because of the plate discipline.  And I know that league is one that warrants skepticism about offensive numbers.

But, damn.  10 home runs in 17 games. I don't care what league you are in, that's impressive.  He hit 10 in 76 games in 2019.

If you will all please take note, there was only one 3-2 count in that entire sequence. He attacks the zone on 0-2 and 1-2, not giving the batter or umpire any choice, either swing or be called out. No nibbling, no wasting pitches. Many of our starters waste that 0-2 with a bunch of garbage pitches that never had a chance to get a batter out. Packy isn't doing that.

So that’s back to back days of sliding grabs from him in LF. Has he been playing in LF more than RF this season?

It’s not like we have anyone worth a damn at either corner outfield position so wherever he feels more comfortable you play him

With Marsh being a true RF (strong arm and regularly playing RF), LF figures to be Adell’s spot anyway.

Everything after the first sentence was said with tongue in cheek. I thought that came through but evidently not.

No or he would have traded Adell for Kubitza Jr.

If you pimped harder they might offer you a job.

He's 22! The Angels fucked up by playing him last year.

Love seeing two of those strikeouts ahead in the count. And the velocity... don't give me hope..

 

 

[rafibomb]

Detmers strikes out the side in the 2nd as well and has struck out the first 6 batters of the game. That's fun.
