Nothing wrong with this. Needed an actual OFer for that 4th OF spot on the bench, and Lagares has always been known for being solid defensively.

Non black hole bat who doesn't need a chest protector in the OF.  

Legares >> Rojas

He'd probably find a way to miss the sun, yet somehow cause it to veer off course, crashing into Earth and ending all of humanity.

Then have someone other than Maddon fire him into the sun.

I love that gif. It's like my avatar, he has that look of hope that dissolves into tragedy.

This has to end.

It's a good thing that someone figured out when they were 15-9 that Jo Adell was the problem. I'm really enjoying the 12-12 since he was sent down.

[Angel Oracle]

Lagares’ defense isn’t the answer, that much is for certain.

If only Adell could learn how to come in and go back in the OF as well as he goes side to side.

Have his close friend teach him how to.   He’s made plenty of catches going back to the wall.

If the sun is a RHer, he'd only get hit right back to us.

I'd take the ghost of Justin Upton over Juan Lagares

Damn, who could've seen outfield depth being an issue...

[Angels 1961]

Whitefield makes those plays

Angels sign Lagares

Results not as projected.

Does anyone really think Upton would provide more than Lagares?

This is a horrible move. Last year in the system we had Trout, Upton, Adell, Marsh, Ward, Lagares, Fowler and Eaton. Even with all of those moves we saw Wong and Rengifo gets starts in the outfield. This is fucking dumb without another move.

Never thought I’d say that but I am inclined to agree….Hindsight though….

Based on actual math and statistical results on the most recent year they both played. Yes.  Both guys had over 325 PA's last year, only one of them posted a negative fWAR.   

Hint: It wasn't Upton.
