By definition the future never begins.

But aside from my own personal issues with pedantry: I agree, it's good to see the elements of the future Angels coming together. It's been a while since we've had so many young players on the fringes of the team, players with genuinely high ceilings too. Fun times. Good luck to Packy and the rest.

Can't wait to see him put those Latin skills to use.

Modum contaactus ad mihi est picem

Friend in Salt Lake snapped this photo of Packy in his last start getting a mound visit by the pitching coach:

Well at least we’re having fun.  A new player to two every day.

His name make me think of the Honeymooners. Jackie Gleason yelling "Hey Norton."

Well, I was being sarcastic as I see Packy as more of a fringe prospect, maybe a back-end/emergency starter. But yeah, enjoying seeing all the young guys come up. More to come.

Bundy is still starting tomorrow according to Fletcher.

So Quintana released? The dude who pitched yesterday that we got from SF is being sent down? Guerra released? Or injury.

We already have 15 pitchers on the roster right now so Packy won't be replacing our 5th outfielder. We would be moving a pitcher down or to the IL. Cobb to the IL Retro?

The rules permit up to 5 taxi squad players this year on road trips so that is also a possibility but doesn't make a lot of sense.

Ehh I know this is just logistics and he will likely be back without making an appearance with Salt Lake but I just hate the idea of sending someone down who deserves to be up here. 

Edit: Nvm he's on the taxi squad

When would Rendon be eligible to come off of the 60 day IL?  Does it relate back to the day he was originally placed on the IL?

He's having season-ending surgery.

Yes.  It dates to his last game played.
