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

[OhtaniSan]

The Bees outfield of Moniak, Adell, Adams could be really fun to watch. There's still a lot of potential there with each of them and there are still reasons to believe they can have a breakthrough and reach that potential. Moniak and Adams especially have looked great in Spring to where i have more faith in them being useful at the MLB level than i have in Adell. 

They must see something good in Adams to have him start in AAA - maybe he even overtakes Adell and Moniak on the depth chart and we see him this season if there's an injury. You'd hope out of these 3 formerly highly regarded top prospects there'd be at least one that can take Renfroe's spot next season, or at least turn into a good platoon or serviceable bench bat.

There's a game today after all. Silseth goes for the Salt Lake Bees later today. If you don't have MILB.tv, you should. I believe it comes with the MLB.tv package this season.

How would you guys rank that IE rotation by upside?

This is a really fun and interesting rotation.  

Marcheco didn't get much pub last year and wasn't really on the radar for the top prospects list.  

Last year between ACL and A ball:

3.48 era (3.1 fip, 3.2 era in ACL, 4.41 FIP and 4.76 era in A ball)
15bb/90k in 62 innings.  50h allowed for a .216 avg.  

Not much current video on him that I can find.  

Obviously we have yet to see Madden or Dana and the repeat year for Albright seems like the right move.

It's literally all upside with a reasonable chance that none of them do jack.  But lots of big ceilings here.

To be more clear what I meant was how would you rank the 5 guys by their ceilings

yeah.  I just reread that.  

Urena is probably #1 by stuff but just nowhere near being a pitcher yet
I would consider Madden and Dana 2a/2b.  
Then probably Marcheco 
and Albright last.

silseth with 5 scoreless on 68 pitches.  2h, 1bb, 6k.  Slurvy thing he throws now was filthy.  Change is becoming a really nice pitch.  One of the hits he gave up was an ole at SS by Soto ranging to his right.  Should have been an out.  Soto hit a ball to the wall in RF which would have normally been a double but got hung in heavy wind blowing in.  Ended up getting thrown out at 3b trying to stretch for the triple.  

7 inning game.  Adell was 0-2 with a walk and 0 k.  

Game 2 for the bees and Kalish gave up 4 runs over 3ip.  Didn't watch him.  Adell with a double and bb.  no k's.  Moniak with a triple.  Adams played CF in both games.  went 0 fer in both but had two walks in the first game.

This is encouraging. David Calabrese had a real under the radar season last year.

Really excited about him. Sucks that MLB gutted so many of the lower level teams/short-season ball because that's probably where Rada would be playing this year

Love this guy. Been following him since either IP or doc (or perhaps both) were "high" on him.

Definitely 1 or 2 potential. I think his floor is a decent #3 starter. Maybe a good #4 if we're being more realistic.

But that's just my opinion.

Interesting. Looks like he started his college career at Maryland, was pretty awful, then transferred to Chipola (which has a long history of getting players drafted, including several by the Angels). High OBP last year at Inland Empire.
