Angels recall Jo Adell and Gerardo Reyes, place Mike Trout on 10-day IL (left hamate fracture), option Victor Mederos

Maybe Jo winds up translating AAA to MLB and is better than Trout? So dawns the age of Adell and Moniak?

Trade everyone with value, not named Detmers, O’Hoppe or Neto.

Ah well.  Nevertheless 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Well, the Angels at least managed to convince a few more people that things would be different this year. I suppose that’s progress!

David Fletcher and Rengifo everyday AB's, Adell trying to play the OF....

Adell will not be playing CF, Moniak will.

That's why I said OF, since he's looked bad both in LF and RF, particularly LF

I blame trout for not being able to read correctly!

[Angel Oracle]

Adell has a good enough arm for RF.

Just needed more time to learn reading the ball off the bat.

We now get to see what Adell can do with at least starting most of the games.

He’s had 3 full months in AAA this season.

Time for the other players to step up. Maybe they'll surprise us.

[T.G.]

I'm pulling for Adell to mash!

It really sucks that Moniak doesn't hit LHP. I guess if he did he would already be a everyday player, probably for Philly.

What's worse is at this point he doesn't appear that he will ever be able to hit LHP.

Moniak could have really softened this blow.

Might be worth giving him a shot vs. LHP if/when the season is derailed.

[79CAAman]

Considering everything that this team has already tried, why the hell not give Moniak a shot. Coming out here to the West Coast seems to have rejuvenated his career. He can still play the outfield, draw a walk or two, steal a base.

Trout elected to All Star game.

Trout out undetermined time.

This has has become a yearly event.

Mike Trout has 1.086 ops over his last 15 games. Do you really think Adell can match that?

If the season is derailed.  I agree with you.

And in those last 15 games the team is 5 - 10.

How much worse could their record be with Adell instead of Trout?
