Can Schanuel be competent in 2024?

Yes, it is. It is a waste of money that only blocks Schanuel and doesn't help his career. Salt Lake won't help him, that ballpark is not going to make him a better hitter or face major league pitching. This year the Angels should only be focused on the advancement of all their young players like Texas did three years ago instead of chasing a .500 season with patchwork veterans.

Fuck, Cron, Belt or any other cast off burnout that will waste another one of these young guys development. 

I agree then get rid of Hicks and Sano let Adell play everyday.

I dont think we will see Joe get consistant playing time until after the trade deadline I think Perry has Ron playing Hicks, Sano, Moniak, Drury in front of Renjifo and Adell now becasue he wants them to do something to get any kind of prospect ticket at the deadline he can I feel like he know that adell and Renjifo are in the future plans and the others not so much but right now they have next to no value at all Joe will get his chance I just hope it dont take to long and he gives up.

I would agree with you if it were truly an organizational plan. 

If we're going young to rebuild then it was stupid to trade assets for Gio and to not trade Ohtani. It was stupid to spend our entire budget on a pen.

Nolan looks 100% overmatched right now and some time in AAA would probably be good for him. Someone like Josh Bell could have been had for cheap.

Moreno wasn't trading Ohtani so last years plan revolved around that. You need to move on from Ohtani, he is no longer influencing the Angels plans.

We don't have an "organizational plan".  The only reason we're doing this pseudo-rebuild is out of necessity, because everyone got old and injured and our farm system has been dog s*&^ for 10+ years now.

Schanuel's only real skill at the moment is plate discipline.  Even last year during his MLB run he had 4 XBH in 132 PAs with a 0 WAR.  The only way he's going to become a serviceable major league 1B is to harness his frame into power.
