I wonder if Jordyn Adams is just going to sit on the bench.

Most likely. Might get a start here or there against a lefty to give Moniak a break, or to spell Renfroe/Grichuk until Trout comes back.

I thought it was like 75% chance Jordyn Adams was going to be traded.

He could also be a pinch runner.

I thought there was a chance he'd never get to the big leagues.  Hope he makes the most of his opportunity.

Sure, but that still means he's on the bench.

I hope he doesn't pull an Adell after two games.

37 SBs. Most in the PCL by far.

Is this a clue? Some trade that involves a bullpen piece?

This was a roller coaster to read.

Went from "good for him" to "heyyy, who are we getting now Perry?!?" to "Angels" in like 10 posts.

Adams should fit the current roster needs well.  He's a great defensive CF who can pinch run late in games.  We are a bit short in OF depth, so having him enables us to switch to a more optimal defensive configuration in the late innings.

Stefanic wasn't really doing too much for us and barely played.  At least this way, we have someone who can serve a greater function to the team.

We now have a 4th OF

Start him .vs lefties.

This will be a great experience for Adams, provided he isn’t too overmatched at the plate.  He’s part of a playoff run in MLB, I mean come on.  Perry could have traded someone to fill this three weeks at minimal cost or come up with another solution.

Truly excellent for Adams!

Moniak is a great story but he needs to sit some....

Absolutely.  He had a fantastic July and looks like he is showing good amounts of growth.  Should draw walks and play very good CF defense.  Worth some starts, IMO.

He took that step forward that guys like Jackson really didn't.  He may not be a fully fleshed out player but he's at least shown he can play MLB caliber defense, run the bases and torch AA-AAA LHPs.  The defense and baserunning alone has value.

Honestly if he does well in a platoon it goes a long ways towards potentially answering a looming question in the OF.
