This is the only thing I could find:

It is weird, because it either means Junk needs "conditioning and/or development" or he's being...loaned to another club?

So either he's fat, or he's being traded and someone wants to try out the goods first.

Tweaking with his pitch mix?

Is reading the ball something that’s more learned or innate?

Not sure. Probably a mix of both.

Maybe @Jeff Fletchercan find out why Junk's on the development list and what he's doing?

 

My guess would be that he's at the Angels complex in Arizona working with the pitching coordinators. But I'm not sure why he'd need to do that since he had two decent AAA starts before being put on the development list and is on the Angels immediate SP depth chart.

Maybe Arte loaned him to a fellow Mexican oligarch to play in the Mexican leagues.

How soon before Cabbage is promoted to AAA?

What is his defense like?

After reading that explanation, i wonder if he is hurt or the move is disciplinary.

What a badass: he runs the bases with a pistol in his back pocket.

Must think he's still in San Bernardino

I don't know who is running this twitter account, but they are amazing. Here are some early numbers on our recent draft picks.

[Docwaukee]

who the f is Ryan Costeiu?  and Mo Hanely?  

These are awesome.  Keep em' coming. 

[Docwaukee]

and 5 other guys I've never heard of.  You just ruined my weekend.

While he’s crushing it, his K rate is at 36.5%, which is really bad and suggests he’ll get eaten alive by MLB pitching.  I would imagine they are working with him to help improve his contact rates.

I think you are correct from what I have read. I’ve seen other teams do something akin to this - players going back to complex ball to work on something specifically.  Who knows what it is that they are trying to work with him on.

Bold prediction, I believe at least six of the twenty pitchers we selected last year, will be major leaguers. I believe three or four specifically will be pitchers of significance too. 

If you get three or four major league regulars in your first twenty picks of any draft, that's a pretty solid ratio. In the Angels case, if you get a couple rotation members and a couple late inning relievers from a single draft, I'll take that. 

I think the 2021 draft will prove to be a fruitful one for the Angels system and will reflect positively upon Minasian, even if Eppler was responsible for some of it. 

[Angelsjunky]

It would be nice if one of those guys turned into a Garret Whitlock. Man, he's a nightmare scenario for the Rule V. An 18th round draft pick by the Yankees, they didn't protect him at the end of 2020. 

Since then he's pitched 95 innings with a sub-2.00 ERA.

Hanley was the guy from Div-Eleventy (D3), baseball with the huge FB and TJ surgery.   I think the other guy drives a submarine.

This may not be as funny to most as it was to me, but  for some reason I can't stop laughing about it. 

then I got a pic of captain barnacles in my head and really couldn't stop laughing.    

[Docwaukee]

Nolan Gorman.  Sigh.  He was my pick over Adams.  It doesn't matter that I was wrong about every other pick since 19 something.  Shut up.
