Who dat

[Stradling]

Might consider changing the thread title to “Angels Call Up Austin Warren” since it’s his first call up. 

[jsnpritchett]

Ok, sure.

Injury, DFA, Wantz sent down or a trade.  

[angelsnationtalk]

Corresponding move likely Walsh to IL or Wantz goes down...

But it should be Angels DFAing Bundy or Quintana.....

Or maybe they wanted to bring someone up to play cards with Wantz so he has something to do in the next 11 days.

From the Prospect Hotlist...

5 tied) Austin Warren – RHP, Salt Lake City, AAA:

With Andrew Wantz now in Anaheim, North Carolina product Austin Warren might be the next Angel farmhand in line to make his MLB debut out of the Halos bullpen. Over the last two weeks, Warren, in three multi-inning relief appearances, posted 9 IP, 0 BB, and 13 K, plus a 2.00 ERA and .129 BAA. At first glance, Warren’s 6.19 ERA doesn’t scream that he’s ready for the bigs but diving deeper you’ll find he’s allowed two runs or fewer in 19 of his 22 games, often in multiple innings, of those, zero in 12 of his 22 games. Warren owns a K9 of 11.9 across his minor league career and given that he’s R5 eligible this winter, could be in Anaheim sooner rather than later.

2021 (SLC AAA): 6.19 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, .292 BAA with 18 BB, 45 K, 5 HR allowed in 36.1 IP in 22 G/1 GS

Me either. I honestly don't see any point of having Quintana and Bundy on this team. Add Kurt Suzuki and possibly Cishit & Guerra as well.

Rendon to 60-day IL

Shit you're right. Angels trade Dylan Bundy and Jose Quintana for RHP German Marquez. Better?

You know they'll find some stupid reason

[Second Base]

I'm a big fan on Austin Warren. He's a smaller guy, they say he's 5'11" but it's probably more like 5'9", and sometimes his delivery makes him look like he's rushing, but he's just high energy. Sits 94 with life, slider has that "fall off the table" 12-6 drop to it, similar to Kevin Jepsen's back in the day, except he commands it better than Kevin ever did. 

When everything is going right as it seems to right now, he attacks hitters and fearless. It makes for quick at bats. Like anyone else, he may need an adjustment period but I expect he'll make a good middle reliever in the long run.

Looking forward to seeing what the roster looks like on August 2nd or so...

[totdprods]

Happy with this move because it seems to be in-line with the notion of promoting others like Ortega, Higgins, Diaz as the season goes on to audition.

Trimming roster fat will be fun. There's probably going to be four or five guys that are cut loose, or if they aren't they absolutely should be.

They have Ohtani so that quota has been reached.
